    What a fantastic car!!

    Got home from work and the weather was just right for a drive....decided to take her for a run on some local back roads, nearly 2 hours of solid driving and she never missed a beat, shifting like butter running super strong and sounding glorious!

    I love my car!!

    :)

    That really is a shame Pap, but I would give my left one to be going away doing what you are doing ;)

    Make sure you leave a battery tender on the 348 brother, then when you and the lovely Nicole get back you will be able to fire her up (the 348;)) and go for your first spin as a husband. That, my friend, will be priceless.

    Cheers mate! :D:D

    I dont have power to my little old garage, so the battery will be dead flat when I get back. :D:D

    But I will be sure to fire her up and go for a lap as husband and wife! :eek::eek:

    Going to buy another house each first! Then build a garage if I can afford it straight away after that. :eek::eek:

    I'm starting to feel depressed!

    James is there any chance you could direct some of that sunlight in this direction, my baby is wrapped up in her covers below my office due to the british weather :(

    A friend of mine in New Plymouth NZ emailed me this morning that it was indeed 'spider' weather over there, like I needed that !

    Great pics, enjoy!

    There is no better feeling than finding a decent road to drive on after a long hard day/week in work.

    Hell, I've only got a 1.2 supermini, so nowhere near a Ferrari and yet I enjoy it.

    Beautiful car and beautiful scenery there, must be pure driving heaven.

    Thanks guys!!

    It is starting to warm up here and the weather is clearing, we have had a very wet spring so far but I hold out hope the rains will stay away and allow many days of great driving.
