    After much research on here and finally finding a 348 that felt right to me, I finally pulled the trigger! Brought her home last Thursday!

    Purchased the car from a F Chat member, stickinkuwait (http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/ferraris/475313-1990-348-ts.html)

    He was very nice to meet and I'm glad I was able to purchase a 348 from someone who cared for it. The car needs a major but I fired her up a few times and everything is good to go.

    I also met Richard for the first time at Competizione yesterday and needless to say I will be going there for services and anything else the car needs. Very impressed with the shop set up and it was nice Richard took some time to chat as I'm sure he has a busy schedule.

    Only been able to fire her up as my plates from the state haven't arrived yet. But that Tubi exhaust and Hyperflow cats sound amazing! Can't wait to open her up to 8,000rpms ;)

    Looking forward to learning more about the car and some Car and Coffee meets

    Hi Vince, great car to pick ! I have a similar 90 348ts and have had a lot of fun with it. These are simple and easy to maintain yourself with plenty of information here on F-Chat. I'm also due for an engine out service and plan to do it all myself next winter. It really pays to shop around for parts and get familiar with the "search" option on this site. Good luck and feel free to ask for any advice.... Take care, JGW

    Congratulations. Great to have another member of the brotherhood - I concur.

    Hard to go wrong with a 348 in any color. Excited to read your posts as you get her ready for driving and the summer season.

    Enjoy every minute!

    Congratulations Vince and welcome to the brotherhood (even though some diehards will tell you it only refers to 348 owners, those of us with 355's feel like we belong as well). Please let us know how you felt the first time your took her out. Nothing like the feeling we all get when taking OUR Ferrari for a drive.

    Cheers, Henry

    LOL, nah I think he knows better. I told him he can drive it with me in it and he's not interested in case something breaks haha.

    Thanks again for everything Lenny! I'll be in touch with progress on the car.

    Vinny,
    Good luck and enjoy.
    If your not driving your car, you're thinking about driving your car.
    That's the way your going to feel.

    Congrats Vince and enjoy that new ride. I spent most of my life in York and you will have fun on some of those southern York County roads.
