Got my first Ferrari: 348 (impression..)

Those small mods really transforms the car's highspeed stability.

Nice car btw!

 

Big congrats on the purchase of a beautiful car. I know exactly how you feel about the first purchase and I hope the warm feeling of pride lasts a very long time. I spent about a year in amazement that I could own anything so beautiful. My 348 has evolved into a full blown track car and I can tell you that it is deadly fast and stable. You can easily chip away at the quirks with the good advice of your 348 bros. I have 355 Challenge wheels and that alone makes a huge difference.

 

i hate my 348 because...
well ,every time i want to take a spin , i have to put on clean clothes , look respectable , and take a bath. because surely, everyone will be looking ..

if i drive by a home depot, i cant buy a 2x4 and bring it home.

i dred to see any dark clouds, because it means i have to get back to the garage.

i cant park it in the city without spending $$$ for a secure location.

i can only fit one hot chick in the car at a time.

ive learn to deal with these problems , with great pains. but it all seems to go away when i turn that key

 

Henkie Congrats, Very good looking 348. I'm sure you are still SMILING every
day when you look at your car, thats what I did when I purchase my 308GTB,
Have a lot of fun and fast but safe driving hours.Regards 308ROB

 

Congrats!!!! That is one great looking car!

 

congrats! great looking car
welcome to the 348"s

 

My post keeps coming back, I love this community..

Want to say it again, I fitted the 15 and 25 mm spacers...
Unbelievable difference on higher speeds, my best spent money for an improvement ever...

Thats really a huge improvement on looks too!
What meeting did you visit excactly?

 

Hi Henkie,
congrats on your new purchase.
Hope we'll meet ones at an event in Holland or Belgium.

 

Henkie,
where did you buy the spacers? I am thinking about them too.

 

I bought them at Paul Hill in the UK.
He is a Ferrarichat.com sponsor.
The fit and finish is of a very high level.
Shipment in a day and a half is unbelievable also.
Perhaps not the cheapest though, but who cares, it's for a FERRARI

 

"When I turn that key" That's were it's all about.
Congratulations Henkie, lovely car, take very good care of her and enjoy it very much!

 

Great story, this is my 3rd ferrari in the last 20 years, all have been great a 246 dino & 308 gt4, but this one is even better than the last 2, when your single it seems money no option , then you get married & life takes a different turn. Lucky my wife loves all things Italian including me LOL, so last week I picked up my 348 ts 1993 model & yes the attention u get is better than sex. We are in a small bracket of people that have the luxury to own & drive these beautiful hand built works of art so enjoy, let the clutch out & burn rubber as life's too short not to

Henkie,
Congratulations, great looking car ! I just noticed you have # 96005, my 348 ts is #96010, should be produced at the same week, maybe the same day. I have 25 mm spacers each side at the rear and no spacers at the front, car runs without problems.

Regards, Georg

Bollox! what do i put in front of the http to make the picture appear automatically?

 

I've had my 348 for over 15 years now. I've worked all the bugs out, added a few mods and after reading all these newbie 348 owner's posts.........I had to go visit mine and go for a drive...........and it still has the magic!!

 

Been reading f-chat for over 3 years now and finally going to take the plunge with my 1st 348. It will be a 94 spyder. Looking forward to owning a true work of art. Who shoud I purchase a tubi from since I live in central California. Been a vette owner for years and just put my C-5 convt up for sale...
