My first Ferrari

Excuse my ignorance but is it a 'ts' that's been updated to look like a 'gts' with colour coded sills and chrome cavallinos or were the 'gts' models never badged as such?
The black horse went to chrome on the models anywhere between 91-92. Likewise on the sills, although a lot of people have had them colour coded because, to the vast majority of people's eyes, it looks better.Lovely looking car - I miss mine and will undoubtedly have another at some point
Ditto the comment on the de-cat Tubi though. They sound fantastic.
Beautiful car (& am so glad to see that there is not a single post saying its a "poor mans" Ferrari or it doesnt handle like a "proper Ferrari" - its a Ferrari for Gods sake !!).
Did some calculations recently & it transpired that if Id have avoided some of my earler cars & replaced a cambelt or two in good time, then Id have probably saved enough to buy, run & service a 348. Silly, silly boy.

Stunning car, looks immaculate too.
It is amazing condition. Gave it a good clean yesterday - and that tends to be the time you generally notice all the new scratches and stone chips the car has, so I wondered how much I'd find that I hadn't noticed when buying the car. In fact - there was very little - the car has been very well looked after, and well prepared (bought it from Walkersport who impressed me a lot).Robbo101 said:

Actually, the handling is one area that is making me a little nervous. It does tramline a bit - I've found enough posts (and talked to QV this morning) that I'm aware this is fairly normal for 348s. I have no idea how well setup the alignment is though so it's booked in to get that sorted in just over a week. See if that helps.davek_964 said:

I've had two, the first one tramlined, the current one doesn't, however both were/are very light at the front at high speed (a bit unsettling at 150 on the autobahns)Also watch the back end when its been raining, can go quite quickly on greasy roads, even at low speeds. Apart from that no complaints.... and yes definately go for a decat sports exhaust
(if yours is registered before August 1992? I believe you don't need cats anyway)Enjoy
