    I was talking to a friend of mine who mentioned he never sees a 348 on the road. I got to thinking, I have only seen a 348 on the road (to/from car shows don't count) 2 times in as many years. And I drive 100+ miles per day.

    Are the owners of these cars just storing them or what? What's the deal? :)

    When was the last time you saw one on the road?


    This can be the official 348 spotters thread.
    :D

    Saw two yesterday in Jackson, MS of all places. I saw a 348 TS and a 308. I see a 355 spider on a daily basis also. I may join the brotherhood if this continues.

    I can count them on one hand :( Sadly though 2 of them were on the way from a car show so that doesnt really count. I have seen 3.

    In Canada we see them oftern, not as often as the 360, but still a good number. The cars I dont see here (which is strange) is the 328, or the tr....and growing up i would see those often, espeically the 328

    Just one during the last 8 months, its a guy that lives around me (glendale/burbank area) who was out early in the morning for a drive. Never saw him again! I work west part of LA where I regularly see 360's, 430', and Labos, than 348's and even 355's. I really think these cars are becoming more and more rare.

    Saw a 348 today at an Airfield track day.

    Other than that and excluding any ferrari meets, I think I've only ever seen one other 348 in central London in the last couple of years.

    Seeing less and less F355's as well now.

    There were three 348 at Cavallino this year. There were two last year. At the cars on 3rd street show last weekend in Naples there were about 6 blocks of cars, and my 348 was the only one. I rarely see any other 348 out on the road. I think people just don't drive them very often, sadly.

    On the road? I've never seen one driving on the road.

    I have seen 2 or 3 parked in the past 3 years.

    There are not any Ferraris in the vicinity here. Not for at least 2000km. :( So I dont see any 348's, except my own in the window reflections as I drive past. :):)

    There were four 348's at our last brotherhood meeting here in Houston. Other than that, it has been a few years since I have seen a 348 on the road. Mine is out three or four times per week. :)

    I have the Hill pedals and shift knob installed, and I am having the targa top latches powder coated. Should have all of that back together soon.

    That would be cool having a few mates with 348's in the same area like the pics you guys posted. Would be a fun get together, everytime. :):)

    Looking at the map, you are out in the sticks aren't you? Well, it's just about as hot here in Houston as in Australia. Ship your car over and come sweat with us. LOL :) We even have Foster's over here.

    It's not a big problem as the oncoming traffic also drive on the wrong side of the road.

    I have never seen a 348 on the road, other than once at an FOC gathering here in San Diego.

    I've seen one other 328 - a guy north of San Diego bought it and drove down here to show it to me.

    Last year, saw 2 Testarossas, 1 308 (in prugna!), 1 355 GTB (black) and maybe 8-10 360s.
