Unpublished FLQ articles arriving soon

Andrew · 06-19-2012, 12:36 AM

Just wanted to point out an unpublished article that had been submitted for an older FLQ is now live on the site here:

Ferrari Life Epic Driver 2.5 - Ferrari Life

I apologize to all contributors that these never made a PDF. We'll now be publishing/writing content like this in the blog. Hopefully you don't mind the saying "better late than never" for this one.

More articles to follow.

Excellent. Look forward to seeing them all.

Great article!

Brought back wonderful memories of my first FLED, and the great camaraderie that I have been lucky to enjoy on other FLEDs since then. Excellent stuff!

Just makes me want to go on another one now.....

Thanks Andrew, brings back happy memories of a wonderful FLED in Wales at the end of 2009. Have just replaced those 335/35 rear tyres on the Michalone. 2.5 years and about 15,000km is all it took to wear them down to the canvas. And I did not even take her on the track! Short life is a price I do not mind paying for tremendous grip and feel in the dry. Another story in the wet though...

Probably didn't help that a significant amount of the rear tyre thread went up in smoke on that very FLED....

Too true! That was before we had the rear wheel arches flared to accomodate those huge gumballs!

David, can you post some pics of your Michalone as it sounds an interesting Ferrari & I'd like to see it

Thanks everyone. That new section will soon include regular content hopefully weekly. I'm also going to add the ability to comment on articles.

Andrew- How are you progressing on all the owners manuals and workshop manuals?

They too are coming along. Soon I'll link to all of those in the Models & Registry section. I.e., if you are viewing the 575 page here:
Ferrari 575M Maranello Spec Sheet and Data - Ferrari Life

You'll see all the PDFs in our library related to the 575m.

For now you can view the 400+ here:
Ferrari Membership Upgrade Options - Ferrari Life

Just go to "Dashboard" under your username in the top right corner. I have all of them available on the left links by type. Still working on tagging each PDF to a specific model (that's the time consuming part)

Andrew- Thanks.
