    Good man. Now if only you knew a mechanic that could change belts & tensioners, you'd be set.

    Nah, half that maybe. :D

    I flushed the brake fluid a year or two after I got the car.

    Fluid was black. :(

    Haven't done it since, but I know it should be done ever year. I do it every year in every other car I have owned lol

    I just purchased a new one man vacuum brake bleeder, might give it a go tomorrow myself because I have the Ferrari out the front still. :D

    They will be right for another 15 years. ;)

    I've not seen it yet,but my son has seen it covered up,a 2005 360 Spider with paddles.

    Spoke to the owner yesterday,the same bloke,if some of you remember,that had 10 or 11 plastic stickers all over the 348 he had a couple or 3 years ago......I wonder how this one will end up...

    The Brother was just there for a week over Xmas seeing his In-laws. He saw the car and sent me a pic. Looks nice.

    I don't remember this 348 with stickers on it though? Do you have any pics of it? What stickers were they?

    Mate,I can't remember if I did take pics...probably 'cos I was too cracked up when I saw it.

    I'll have a look back through this thread.

    What is the brother driving with his Wogboy rego?

    No I can't,

    How come I can only get back 500 posts'??

    I'm surprised at how light the steering seems to be.

    Daytona steering is very heavy at low speed, but beautiful above 70mph.

    That car also has a larger wheel than comp Daytona's usually use, in fact it looks slightly larger than the standard road car wheel. Possibly due to the famously bumpy surface at Sebring.

    2x 488, 2x 430, 1x 355 and a Gallardo just screamed by my house. Best wake up call ever!! (355 drowned out everything else though)

    Awesome!! I was out walking the dog and heard your car about 5 seconds before the lead 488s appeared. My wife was at home and said she heard some "nice cars" go past and one in particular "sounded like an F1 car" :D

    Was a privilege to see and hear it, not to mention the goosebumps!

    What was the occasion? Heard several other cars go past during the day...

    Cool, the 355 has a very distinctive sound thats for sure. No real reason other than a get together with a few passionate Ferrari owners. 4 x 488's were along too, including a spider.

    It's been in Australia since 2004~ It used to go to the Australian Motorshows when the importer was trying to sell it. Even made it on that crappy car show on channel 9 with Glenn Ridge.
