UK to Italy in December

Wow!! Some HARSH driving conditions there mate!

 

Makes me wonder: is this gorgeous 348 in good hands?

 

Awesome! I love seeing it in the snow.

Good to know this car is not going to be a garage queen and will be enjoyed.

All the best,
Andrew.

 

That sure looks like some cold weather. I don't know if I should call him brave or crazy for driving in those conditions.

 

Call him both!

 

yeah is it?

should of put it on an enclosed truck.

 

Why isn't the top down?

 

Tell me that you at least put winter tires on her...

 

Audacious !

 

Wowza UK to Italy that a nice drive but the conditions aren't so great. Best I ever did was Geneva to Amsterdam in 10 hours. Now the 348 could cut that down to about 7-8.

 

Impressive snow driving there!

 

Standard tyres


I spent nearly 11 Hours helping to detail this Car so it was nice and clean when he came for it and then he treats it like that

I think mine is playing me for a fool! (which I am..)

Best of luck to you and the oily-bits!
With respect, Ben

 

Hi Ton,

Poor Eugenio,

That was bad luck picking this weekend to collect his 348. Typical for the UK, although we have known for over a week that this bad weather was coming the roads still come to standstill after a few inches of snow!!

B*^$£*y road authorities could not run a P---S up in a brewery, glad I was not working on Friday!!

At least it proves he has bought a good car, with a drive over to you he will not forget in a hurry. I would think a few hot coffee`s were more needed than a beer when he arrived at your place?

Great pics as well.

Regards,

Phil.

 

very nice....what is that white stuff?

 

Surprised to hear this from a Canadian! Has global warming really had that much of an effect?!

All the best,
Andrew.

 

He needs chains for that kind of snow ;0)

 

LOL!

How old are the cambelts? I hear some are good for 12 years or so...

All the best,
Andrew.

 

Just getting acclimatised for going over the alps! What pass do you fancy? Really need a ski rack on the back whilst your there!

by way - you were lucky, channel tunnel now not running and boats heavily delayed, you got over just in time.

 

I'm sorry, but that's rather naive. End of December in Europe, driving 1,500 kms including over the Alps, and you're not expecting salt on the roads or snow/ice/rain???

Although I'm all for driving instead of transporting, I am very hesitant to drive the Ferraris once the road is salted. The stuff gets everywhere, and contrary to what people believe, you cannot wash it off easily. It stays in nooks and crannies for a long time, corroding every time it gets a little moist.

But I hope it all comes good and that this car will be enjoyed for a long time.


Onno

 

Hi,

I was told on Thursday 10th December that this weather front was coming our way!!

But as said earlier Eugenio had booked his trip before this.

Regards,
Phil.

 

This is sooooo like December 2006 : http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/showthread.php?t=131731 but so much more hard core.

Pampered, manicured and valeted F-Car travels across Europe to new owner.

Eugenio - when you read this - I was drinking your health and safe arrival with some of Fattoria Poggio Alloro's finest tonight so I know you'll arrive home safe.

Is the 348 in good hands? You bet it is!
