    Where I live, in Oslo the capitol of Norway, we now have snow and minus eighteen degrees celcius. It is hard not to fall into a winter depression, as it it still at least three months till it is possible to drive the 348 again.

    In the mean time I am looking at photos from last summer, and hoping for another season like this. Please share your photos from your best Ferrari memories of 2012!

    Here is a pic of my wife and I at speed in the mountains surrounding the Geiranger fjord in the west of Norway. Pretty special feeling to drive open top with 3 meters of snow surrounding you..

    Will have a quick look for a pic, but in the meantime can I just confirm something. Looks from the photo as if your wife has the window down quite happily but yours is up stopping your hair from being ruffled. Would you like to confirm or deny this? Surely this would only ever happen in a 355? :D

    Just teasing you mate. Great shot.

    hahahahha..! Just call me mr. Dandy.

    Striking how good the 348 looks. Classic Ferrari all the way.
    The winter depression has made me considder exchanging the 348 for a Testarossa, but the picture really makes me uncertain about that..

    Love the Testarossa, great car. Got to be honest, prefer the look of the 348 and would seriously miss the open air motoring. If you need a 'proper' roof in the winter a TS/GTS could always cover that base. You still get a lot of air in the car, especially if you put the windows down........ :)

    You may feel our pain, Red, but you didn't have to rub it in so much :)

    After a really mild winter so far, not a hint of snow here, it finally came. Still if it's only for a while I can live with it. View from my window......

    ..........believe it or not most Ozies dream of experiencing a white Christmas. I am one of the lucky ones having travelled to Europe allot for work I have been through it. Of course after a couple of weeks I get to come home to 30 C and sun sun sun :)

    Drove mine to the airport tonight to pick up my wife. A little chilly out ~48 degrees F, so I had the top up. If it was just going to be me in the car, top would have been down.

    Fear not you snow bound lot. I understand that Ricambi is now offering a snowplow attachment for the 348/355. Sorry, couldn't resist. Those of us who live in Southern California have a sadistic sense of humor.

    Our first snow of the year is falling now, kicking myself for not going for a drive over the weekend but it was my daughters birthday. Snow doesn't stick around for long here, fortunately.
