You'll be seeing me very soon. Just front and rear bumpers to paint and I'll be across to discuss some modifications.

Paul's fine. Thanks for asking.

I've always liked the 348 personally, don't think I could afford the servicing though!

Good Luck with it mate!

Enjoy!

Should've got red though!

Phil,

The good news is that you CAN attend some RS Shows in your new car......stay part of the RS/Cossie scene - and meet all of your fans

Pics from Beaulieu RSOC show last year........where Wessex Ferrari Owners Club were invited......only a few of us could make to this show because was the same day FOC National Day/Concource.......







Dorset and Hants group are having their annual regional show at Beaulieu motor museum this coming Sunday 17th July. Entry into the show also gets you into all of Beaulieus other attractions the Museum the gardens.

no not at all!i actually think its quite smart in silver! in general im fed up with every new car on the road being silver so generally dont like it!i've never seen a silver 348 so somehow i managed to say it was interesting in that colour

i think 348's are super cool and not mega mega money which is nice

Have you sorted yourself out a lift yet to go fetch it on Saturday if its done Doug?
Ive got some brakes that i owe Brom which i could deliver at the same time if you want me to take you up there?

And have changed phone numbers, or just dont love me anymore cause was trying to get hold of you yesterday but failing to do so!

Georgie in Pizza hut was asking after you

A Ferrari is a Ferrari end of. To me though they never seem quite right in a colour other than red but that's probably just me.

Lived near Lord Charles Brocket for years and he had a huge collection of them (44 I believe ). They used to be taken out on Sundays over the summer and my Dad and I used to stand at the end of the drive and watch them. Stunning cars with so much about them

348 isnt the most sought after Ferrari though is it. Always gets slated in magazines for having evil handling. Still if you're happy thats all that matters.


Why not stick your DIY 600 YB in the back.

Nice, I love the 348. I was thinking about buying one when I sold my first house but woke up and smelt the 'can't afford to loose loads of money' coffee

The handling seems ok...BUT the essential mod which is to do what the speciale had which was a wider track which cured the evil handling as you put it.....you can get a proper spacer kit 25mm back 15mm front..which also improves looks aswell

Wow, a Ferrari. Not my top choice for a high class car. I got my dreams on a Bugatti.

Nice car though. The rims need a change ....

Oh yeh..nice Ferrari. Yes, I'm jealous..but not when it comes to your insurance or servicing bills. Oh, and it's the wrong colour
Good luck with it anyway, fella.

No, HSU stands for High Speed Unit as I remember... a police pursuit thing.

Paul Waite... he had some wicked cars, BUT he really thought he knew it all and he really didn't.

He had an even thicker head than you, he was right and everyone else was always wrong....

He thought the world was flat and even that Dyke bird sailing around it wouldn't convince him it was round.
