    Recently took my GTB out for what may be its last blast of the year before the New England winter hits. As I stepped out of the car after pulling it out of the barn and looked back, I had to catch my breath - wow! Just had to take a photo.... Despite familiarity and the passage of time, the beauty of those lines never ceases to surprise and delight. The only thing better than looking is driving!

    Wheels are 17" Compomotive TS, 8" front and 9" rear. And she's lowered a tad too. :)

    No matter what year, or what color, you gotta love a GTB! (of course I am a little biased) :)

    Coil overs from sponsor Nick's Forza. Very pleased with them, except for the fact that they don't easily fit 328s, and required a lot of effort to get them to work during the install.

    And thanks, David - this was just before I came down to your place. She'll be cornering like new come spring, thanks to you. Can't wait!!

    Thanks to all for the kind words!

    Same here, the wheels look great. You are right, the only thing better than looking at them is to drive them, thats why I put about 5,000 miles a year on mine.

    Very purdy!

    What springs rates did you go with front and rear?

    Your GTB, with that wicked stance and those awesome Compo. wheels - - the beautiful colors of the land - - and the placement of the red barn for photographic purposes, is all stunning - - except for that large mound of earth behind your car. I guess that's where you chose to bury the old camel:).

    Honestly Carmine, I loved you photo so much that I continued to see additional things (shapes and colors), as I concentrated. It was then, that I thought of the camel :):):). Sorry mate...................

    A stunning 328, It certainly is !!

    Cheers, Hank

    HA! Thanks for the kind comments, Hank. And what a keen eye you have - not a camel under there, though, just a couple of bodies. :) Off to do some landscaping....

    Not a big fan of aftermarket wheels, but have to make an exception for that beauty.

    That is one PERFECT looking 328.

    Carmine,

    Beautiful car you have there and those Compomotives and the lowered stance are just right. I have to say your bella is one of the most beautiful 3X8 I've ever seen. :)

    that car is the end of the line for beautiful ferraris. the wheels and lowering only improved that lovely 328!

    Am I the only one who just doesn't like those split rim things with lots of bolts round the edges? I really think they just look too busy & a bit too "bling" to be on a 25 yr old Ferrari....

    Maybe I'm getting old :D !

    That's a beautiful pic of your car and surroundings. I just realized I haven't seen your car ever since you began your hunt for GTB a few years back. Congrats!
