Alright, my OCD was kicking in. I took my rear wheels off today and had the tires flipped at Discount Tire. They are back on the car, and in the right direction! Thanks for the heads up on that. These are fun cars to both drive and play with. Last night I spent a few hours in the garage, cleaning the engine bay. I just used rags & brushes, no hose or steam. -John | ||

John, Glad to hear your a step ahead of me on this one  . I missed the last two events cause we were in Monterey for the Italiano. I will be helping out at Concorso Arizona as well as entering my car. You should consider putting your car in the show. We have a little room left. | ||

Steve - We are one step ahead of ya! We joined a few months ago, when we were finally getting serious about buying a Ferrari. We were at the last 2 meetings, but there are so many people, it's hard to meet everyone. I'll look for ya at the next one. Are you doing anything with the Concorso in Oct? -John | ||

Thanks for all the nice comments. Jeff - I just looked, and you are right! I'll switch the rear wheels today. Although, I'll have to see if the tires are directional. If so, I may wait to switch the wheels. Thomas - I think I am grimacing, more than smiling while changing the battery! That was on our first night with the car. My neighbor had come over for a ride, and it wouldn't start. It was pretty funny. He's a car guy, so it didn't phase him. He had fun helping me find and remove the old battery. -John | ||

John: Welcome to another 348 owner! Yours looks great in the Arizona setting (my wife is jealous!). But you may want to switch your rear wheels over to the correct sides, they are backwards now. It's a common fault, doesn't hurt anything, but each wheel belongs on its own particular corner. | ||

Smiles in every pic - even while changing the battery! | ||

I have been doing more searching on this picture posting. I guess they have to be on the FChat server, so here it goes. We are 7 days into Ferrari ownership, and love it! We have dreamt about this for years, and have spent the last 2 years torturing ourselves with research, dreaming and waiting. We finally put an end to all that, and bought the Ferrari that excited us the most. Here are some shots of our 1991 348ts. Wife driving...  Me with new toy...  Installing a new battery...  | ||

Hi - I won't be too wordy, as I am trying to figure out how to attach pictures, but here is our 1st Ferrari. It's a 1991 348TS. OK, I am wasting too much time. I have searched, I have read the FAQ's. What is the correct formatting to get a picture to show up? I already have it uploaded, does it have to be uploaded onto Fchat to work? Thanks - John -John http://members.cox.net/johnroberts/auto/AZ%20sunset.jpg |
