Default My ride in a Ferrari 348 TB !!!

EDIT: Sorry, wrong section must bee in: What do you drive or ride. Sorry

My mother had for my 13th birthday a special gift (my mom knows that guy from at work, the boss was he) : I could get a ride in a Ferrari 348 TB the next day. When the guy came pick me up, there was a hard-tuned Lotus Elise behind him (his grandson). I thought of his age of the man (50 - 60 years old) he would'nt that fast, cause you know oldies drive slow . But i was wrong, very wrong, the man was almost giving the whole time full trottle. The car's sound was sooo perfect ! I love that Ferrari V8 sound ! I don't know why many people call this the "failed" car. But yeah, whe went racing on the small roads near my home in Koersel-Kapelleke. Now lets wait for the next Ferrari ride: Enzo & 360 Modena















Photos I've taken in Koersel-Kapelleke











More pics will follow, and sorry for the dark pics, forgot my flash

No dude, it WAS in the wrong section and now moved to the right one... you don't really have this car as your daily one do you?

Anyway, congrats!!!

I like the Lotus. It looks a little rough(like the Noble M12). Great present! And happy birthday!

Are you sure that Elise is really able to do that

Excellent man, happy b-day...and that Elise...it looks like the offspring of a Noble M12 GTO and a Mk1 Elise...nice, very aggressive.

Now that's a present! Nice work by your parents. I should tell mine about this, hehe...

Nice pictures too, the 348 is still a beauty! The colour and wheels on the Lotus look good, but I'm not too fond of the dial on the dash and the rear wing. The bits I can't live with are the neon and the text on the top of the windscreen. That's just not done on a Lotus...
