    OK people, this is my "official" application to join the Brotherhood.

    My 1990 348TS was finally delivered last Thursday (thank you Santa!!!). I know I'm a little late getting these pics posted. I arrived home from the most recent trip to India on Saturday afternoon, and have been spending my time with my wife and kids, and squeezing in a few short drives here and there. Today was a beautiful 55 degrees and sunny, so I decided to get the car out, dust it off, drive around town and take these pictures. Sorry, but I couldn't get the camera under the heat shields to show off the Tubi exhaust. It sure sounds great though.

    Congrats - looks sharp, and clean. Are the tips too close to the rear valance? (touching?)

    Every time someone posts here I feel like I need to get my car detailed again.

    What's with the bloody knuckles on the Brotherhood pic? I have a 328 and I could be a hand model.

    Thanks Pap. I have searched several threads and actually found the348.com site a few weeks ago (again thanks to No Doubt). Printed off the how-to-start-it instructions for my wife and the truck driver, since I was not in the country when the car was delivered. There's some very good info on that site. I'm looking forward to meeting you when I travel to Aussie. Just do me a favor and don't wear those cheeky bum shorts of yours... :D

    It may just be the camera angle, but I will check it out. Thanks for noticing. The previous owner had a Tubi exhaust installed. Still running the stock cats - may upgrade to hyperflows some day - would also like to try on "test pipes" too.

    Thanks Tex. I double-checked the tips and there is about 1/4" clearance on the left and 1/8" on right - a little too close for comfort - definitely will adjust. I appreciate the feedback!
