Ya I never understood why they did that  I dont know if it was so your key ring could hang down or what they were thinking. Either way, it still has a prancing horse on it so it looks nicer than 90% of the other keys out there.
I think my favorite Ferrari key was the key they used for the 550s (not sure if they used the same for 575) and I believe the 355 used it as well.
I got this blank from my previous employer to possibly use on my 510 when it was still a project in the works for shits and giggles and because there was no ignition when I got the thing anyway, I figured, what the hell

It's great to hear you found your Ferrari sooner as you would have though 1,5 months ago. It seems you really took your time in choosing the right 348: one in good condition and one of the better production years.
We all know this car is in good hands: it will be driven where it's made for. The fact you immediately took it on a long road trip really shows your passion for it. How many miles was your trip?
Congrats with your 348. I wish a lot of thrilling and safe miles in it
btw the pics look great: nice landscape for a photoshoot!!

Lets hope when he adds up the miles it doesnt scare the "driver" in sameer away from regular drives
20 x 300 mile weekends would be 6,000 miles a year (not counting daily driving and special road trips) would be more miles than some F-Cars get in 10 year
Sameer - I am going to be nagging you to come driving as much as possible

The garage was one of the first rooms (LOL) that was decorated when I bought the house in Feb ... it was kept in waiting for a suitable beauty to park alongside it

It must feel much better, to open the garage door again, realising it's not a dream and taking it for a ride again
Welcome home Sameerrao, I am glad you brought your baby safe at home!
