    I was driving in Central London yesterday evening in the 348 and whilst driving past the Ferrari showroom got flagged down by a guy who asked me to stop.

    He kept saying "wow a 348 in London, a 348 in London!!!" and seemed really excited about seeing my car.

    So I pulled over and he starts talking about 348's and then starts to tell me how unreliable they are and how the gearboxes keep breaking etc etc.

    He seemed to know quite a bit about the 348 and I think he said he owned one or had owned one.

    Guy was a bit scary. Definitely ex-military, probably a Marine.

    Anyway, he mentioned Fchat so maybe he's on here?

    Managed to take a couple of pictures of him.

    Here he is looking at the 458 in the showroom. Kept repeating "I gotta get me one of those"

    I think he's American or could be Canadian. You all sound the same to me!! :D

    Anyone know who this guy is????

    You had to ask? The original stooge of the three 348 stooges? You obviously have not been around long enough.

    No, no, no. They want him to leave. They may not let him back in.

    I must confess it's me.

    I was really nice FINALLY meeting you Sy.

    Sy took us to a nice Lebanese restaurant, and I ate like a pig. I could hardly move afterwards. Then Sy gave us a tour of down town London, with all the Christmas lights up. By the way Sy, we never did make to Harrod's the next day. I lucked out. :D
