...i keep toying with selling the 3dr and giving the whole project up ...i have worked out how much this is costing me and i could add a bit of money and get a Ferrari 348tb ...i am beggining to see why Sean Bicknell and the many others have abandoned this project ...i mean a fooking Ferrari ok its only a 348 but damn even i must be able to pull in that ...I am looking at running costs 600bhp Vs a 348...and is there really are difference and surely we all know whats best....then look at depreciation...at 30k the Horse would still be worth that in the future..whearas a 600bhp 3dr would be in pieces

This is serious folks what would you truly have?...Bare in mind i still would keep the Saff and all the parts purchased so the project wouldnt be a dead duck.....

What should i do,what would you do...a 3dr or a prancing horse

Wouldn't personally feel the need for more than one Cossie in the stable

I think there's a fair few people who've thought after spending shedloads (like you say) "Feck, could have bought x,y or z with what I've spent on that...."

Ultimately though, it's up to you, I mean does it really matter which shell your super dooper engine goes in.....?

ferrari over ANY ford even the GT

Oranoco

I know what's being said and to a large extent I agree. But there is an immense satisfaction from pulling up behins a 5 figure supercar with a blue oval and promptly blowing it into the weeds.

save for a 355 spider

craig todd

its your choice m8, whatever makes you happier

cossiecrew

Phil, pick one of your cossies and sell it. Put all your efforts into ONE cossie.
Then proceed to shut the f**K up and stop talking about it and get it finished
and once complete, bring it out for us to see that it is real and not just hot air like all
your posts.

Have to say the Ferrari is a nice car but you are way to ugly to have one and your
dog would only piss on the upholstery and ruin it

Simon the first place my Cossie will go is over your body!

Well Phil, I will be dead within the year anyway so you will have to be quick .

Not for a measly 348 FFS! Stick with the Cossie

I could see this post coming about 2 months ago

Martyn

Was only a matter of time....

Personally if i ever had the chance to have a ferrari then i would not hesitate!!
If you got one you would still have a cossie anyway, unless you are thinking of selling both to finance it?

Ryan

phil know how you feel, have considered it a few times myself.

and maybe 600bhp isnt what i want.

Is it really worth spending that extra cash on the extra 50-100 bhp over a 500bhp build, as there alot cheaper, quite easily acheivable etc etc.

G500COS

Ferraris are mint, but I would rather have a mint big spec 3 door than a 348. Now if it were a f355 the cossie would be gone.

neilm

Hmmmmmmm

Prancing Horse ?

Or

Mincing Rottweiler....??

The choice is yours !!

Not much scope for DIY on the Ferrari and I think the first time you get it services you will long for the days of Ł4.99 for an Oil Filter, Ł15 for a fuel filter etc etc etc


Hang on.... is that Mark Shead I can hear shouting...

'Buy the Ferrari and get the fook out of my life...... !'

Ryan

as said personally i think 99% of ferrari owners buy the car purely because of its "status" and the ego boost.

I dont think many ferrari owners are passionate about ferrari's know its herritage, know how the engine works, appreiciate it as a car and a peice of engine geneius rather than a "object" to pull birds in.

Cossy owners buy cossy's because their passionate about fords and the herritage and what they've done in the past. Why else would you buy a ropey old D reg seirra.

Just my opinion of course

A mate of mine had a 348 and hated every minute of it and went back to a Honda NSX (he had a NSX before but really wanted the 348 until he actually got 1)

Ryan

People buy Cossies because they are cheap and quick !

Like Phils Rent Boys !

G500COS

Agress with Ryan

Ryan

not everyone mate

there's alot of people on here and in the world that could easily afford a ferrari, but they choose to own a cossy.

randy_rs

personaly id stick with a frod

ricky_3dr

I'd have to agree with Ryan, but if you need a penis extension then go ahead buy a Ferrari

ImaRacing 700

The big engine will just be put in the Saff as that vehicle is just not worth enuff to sell LOL....but it wont be done as quick only as i can afford.

Ryan...i'd buy the Ferrari because its a work of art like my duke plus i cant see them loosing much value tbh...BUT i am scared about running costs and reliability..as to hold its value it has to be strictly NO DIY ....oh and its cause i got a small penis ROFL.

I mean look at THAT chav!!!!!

CozzyBrom

i have worked on them
build quatily is worse than ford
i did a tessterosa front wing once Ł2800 for a ally wing and it dont even fit i got 40 hrs to fit one that ment ally welded the wing door edge up filling it back and bending and tweekend wing lip
355 rear bumpers Ł2500 fiberglass dont fit 20hrs to fit one of those we was givin
a 348 is a old dog now there horid to drive csarnt park um anywear carnt see end o fthe car rear of the car a nightmare to drive
a decent 330 cozzy will kill one on road

GARETH T

the 348 is a nice car too look at but they aint that fast,, they dont handle well

do the saff and have some propper fun

Maria.

very very true mate.... why else would we plough all of our money into em? cos it sure as hell aint because we're gonna get it back!

pee vee

you obviously aint buying it for performance? as a 600bhp cossie would Kill it?
so you are buying it for looks?

thing is,, 348,, yeah, nice lookin car, but then you see a 355 and its ugly compaired to a 355....

then a 360 comes along and makes both of them look ugly, lol

3dr cossies look wicked all the time. they go like fook (well a 600 bhp one bloody would!) and you can buy the parts from halfords.... (well, sort of lmao)

cossie dont bail now.

Lee Reynolds

pmsl how often do you just get ferraris 'coming along' to make yours look ugly..that would be a very RARE occasion! Unlike when phils walking down the road and every fooker makes him look ugly....

JAP CRAP

what u like phil!

said it before. porsche gt3

i'll have all your bits off you....half price

pee vee

there are 5 360 ferraris in my local Chav town
(one owned by simon norris norris designs)

there is a 348, and a 355 too. see them quite often,

i didnt think they were THat rare these days really?

the strut brace

348? i hope you are joking tom, oops i mean phil


phil they are awful lookin, unreliable , expensive as a mutha fucka to maintain/fix and for what, to look like a 80's tash wearing boufont haired private detective, go find a corner and have a word with yaself ffs buil the fookin cossy to 500bhp, it will be enough to scare the shite out of ya i imaginge and at least you will get it done and have a car that you can enjoy, personally i would be embaressed to drive a 348, its got a terrible image and you will get lashed off a chipped beantin you WILL regret it

RichardPON

Phil,

With the money you are saving by not doing this engine, could you not afford a 355?

If so, I'd drop the Ford like a bad habit

As for getting more respect in a Cosworth than a 348, are you out of your fuckin minds? I'd rather have the 348 than any standard Cosworth, any day of the week.

Hooligan

How does a car earn you respect?

the strut brace

pon, what do you think when you see a middle aged bloke in a 80's ferrari??? cool aint one of the words i can tell ya, tosser yes! cool no! it tipifys the middle age crisis that catergorises sad tosser! imo middle aged , fat baldy , meddalion wearing bloke who has a few quid and thinks that buyin a old magnum car will impress the LAYYYYYYDEEEE'S, sad as fook
