    My car never came with a spare. :(:(
    It came with the Agip tyre spray/filler foam instead. The can is missing, but I still have the leather pouch it orignally came in. :p:p

    Picked this up from Ebay for AU$305. US$282. :):)

    The wheel is second hand, but still looks like new, as do the mounting brackets. :):)
    The tyre is old and perished. I am chasing a new one now. So far best price has been AU$340 for a fricken 105/80 R18" bloody tyre!! :eek: :p:p

    OK, I see now what you are trying to do.

    Since you need a Jack, why not get one of those small roller hydraulic jacks, that over here we can buy for under $20., less when on sale. Paint it Red, and put a few Cavallino and Shell stickers on it. They come with their own travel case or buy an all-purpose nylon bag, and secure it properly. Don't know how much room will be lost in the trunk, maybe OK. Just an idea, as I have had good luck doing this for a good SAFE Jack. You can spend the savings on some good OUZO, some mezedes and Gyros, VB and Retsina, for your Mates! Yiassou! :)

    Ciao...Paolo = Megalos Malakas! ;)

    Check this out for a crazy story.............:):)



    My brother had a message on his phone yesterday from some guy called Ben, who said that he saw a Ferrari parked out the front and wanted to know if we could do him a small favour. :):)

    He said that his mate Malcom is celebrating his 30th birthday today and he wanted to know if the owner of the Ferrari could take him for a short drive. :D:D
    He then said that Malcom has always loved Ferraris, but has never been lucky enough to have someone take him for a drive in one when he was living in Sydney.
    Ben mentioned that he will leave an envelope in the mail with some cash in it for doing him the favour. :)

    I returned Ben's call late yesterday afternoon and got the low down. I agreed to take Malcom for a drive in the Ferrari.............for free. :p
    Ben told Malcom to wait out the front of his place 10am this morning as he had a suprise organised for his birthday. :D:D

    I showed up at 10am, met Malcom and his SEXY wifey and after 20 mins of salivating over the Ferrari, we decided to go for a drive. :)
    He was a really nice guy. We talked all about Ferrari road cars and racing, as he also a huge fan. :):)

    After 20 mins of me thrashing around, Malcom grinning from ear to ear, he said he would kill to have a drive of a Ferrari someday..................I looked at him and told him today was his lucky day. :D:D

    I drove out to a quiet part of town/outskirts and pulled over to let him have a drive.
    This guy was almost shaking as he got behind the wheel, thats how excited he was. After showing him the basics, we got going. He drove it like a champ. Didnt speed, didnt do anything silly. He also never looked down at the shifter when making gear changes. A lot of guys that I have let drive the 348, have always looked at the H-pattern while shifting. Not Malcom, he drove it like a veteran Ferrari owner. Cool, calm and collect behind the wheel of prancing horsie. :cool::cool:

    After 20 mins or so, I told him we had to cut it short, as I had to meet a friend at 11am. :)
    I drove him home, the whole time he could not stop smiling and he told me this was his best birthday ever and it will probably never be topped. :D:D

    I had NEVER met Malcom before, he was a complete stranger to me before today. I wished him a happy birthday and told him I was glad to make his day even more special. Thats what life is all about! Keep smiling boys!! :):)

    (I have still have no f*cking idea who Ben is..........:))

    Sure, why not hey. :):)

    I do not mind sharing the Ferrari experience with others less fortunate than I am. :)

    Malcom even said that he will probably never be lucky enough to be able to drive another Ferrari in his lifetime. :)
    I laughed and told him never say never! ;);)
