Yorkshire drive out - Sat 19th March
Discussion
Just to put things straight it was being ignored by her not anyone else. Ferraris just have a bit of a pull for her or 348's anyway!
Not sure whether I'll be able to make run yet but will try my best.

only thing is, think I'll have a job finding a) a 512TR in my price bracket or b) a 348 GTS full stop!
in Rich's defence, fresh back from skiing with with ski tan he looked as fit as a fiddle.... I think it may be more a case of lock up your wive's and sisters

[quote=satch#9]verdis have two 348ts...a rhd and a lhd - well under your selling price for the spider...
Plenty of TSs around, unfortunately that's not what I want.[/quote]
Al, why the 348 GTS? Hasn't that just got the H version engine with a couple of other engine-oriented tweaks? Is that really much difference?

No, what I meant is, you missed offone important thing... the letter 'G'
The more I look at them the more I like them.

Yes - the engine went from 300 to 320bhp, suspension was improved and the track widened. Also another few cosmetic tweaks and improvements as they used it as a test bed for the upandcoming 355.
Also it's just that little bit louder
Though let's face it - if you find a cracking TS it would have to be someone pretty clued up to tell the difference.
Anyway - I need to sell mine first, just not sure when to do it. Seems silly to part with mine before I take it down to Spain, but then I will have put another 4000 miles on it in one trip!

Ah, right... so it's got all the "Speciale" (or whatever) type stuff on it (I'm no 'rari afficionada, so I could be talking crap here!) Can't you just tweak yours? Seems a bit of a downer to have to sell a good 'un just for a couple of tweaks. Or is this also a mileage related thing?
Didn't you buy from Verdis? Can't they do you some deal to do a swap + some cash for them?

Sorry James, I'm being a bit vague - the Spiders have the same spec as the GTS (although the Competizione is the one with the slight tweaks).
There is nothing wrong with the car performance wise, it's the body style that I would like to change.
And no, I bought mine privately.
a.
Lee, what speed did they put you at? Nothing has come through yet this end. I presume it was the Selby bypass and those nice men sat in the Volvo?
