Default Just joined up.

Greetings all. While not an exile from FC (yet) I have noticed a distinct change in tone over there that just isn't sitting well with me. It seems that a lot of the top talent is being chased away for idiotic reasons.

So I decided to come over here and poke my nose around and see what there is to see.

I own a 2005 360 Spider, rosso/tan, 3 pedal car... and wait for it, I DRIVE IT!! Amazing, I know. 14.5K miles on it and counting (the previous owner was a driver too, which frankly, I think makes for a more happy and better quality Ferrari).

I'm from the Sarasota, FL area (about 1hr south of Tampa), so if there are any other Ferrari fans (owners or just people who love the marque) I'd be happy to get to know you. I'm just a somewhat regular guy who loves his F-car.

I've attached a couple of pics of my baby. Pics are by Peter Tromboni (local photog and one talented guy!)

Look forward to exploring this place.

Jason

Thanks guys. And yes, Peter knows his way around a camera. I still have a hard time believing that's my car. Looks like a magazine shoot


Don't drive your Ferrari? Then why not just buy a poster and save yourself a bunch of money?

Ya just joined at 2:52 AM, that's Awesome. Welcome aboard and jump in anyplace. I'm guessing your working the night shift or substantially younger than I for my eyes haven't seen 2:52 AM in many years. (except when I have to get up to pee)

I battle not so occasional bouts of insomnia So sadly, I often see 2:52am even though I wish that wasn't the case.

Welcome: Beaut of a car. I am tempted to re-apply the Yoshi shields too.

As you say.....the better equipped folks seem to be either on a long break or detoxing. Sure they'll reappear, but, it's rather dull and going down that dark hole of bad to questionable responses from posters.

Besides the three major threads of Vintage, Mondial, 456+ and sometimes the 599 areas, I only find the rear-ends section 'worth a hit or two'

I agree 100%

Just found this section and it's good to see another person share my same thoughts about F-chat.
