348/355 So.Cal.Get Together.

Oh BTW, the dye cast model Ferrari's are from a good friend of mine that had an online model shop and so generously donated part of his past inventory. I think some of these are very collectible and valuable$$$$? I don't know, my collection is 1/18th scale.

 

LOL, Chris, you beat me to it. I was waiting to wash the car so I could take a few nice pictures, but since the word is out, here it is for now.

I want to thank Chris (VTC) who is an amazing person, for all his help and support. Chris, you are the MAN!, thanks buddy. I also, want to thank the brotherhood on this forum for providing invaluable information. If it wore not for the two, I probably world not have bought a Ferrari.

Thank you everyone

Oh, and yes, I know the lug is missing anyone have a spare ??? LOL
