New Dutch member...

550JM · 10-21-2011, 01:22 AM

Hi all,

Recently joined this very nice forum, so time to introduce myself.
My name is Jeroen, I'm from the Netherlands and as of tomorrow the proud owner of a 550 Maranello (nero/nero)...It took me a while to finally buy 1 although I have been wanting a Ferrari for I don't remember how long.

I also posted in the member pictures section/thread where you can see the car and a pic of my other passion, classic Duacti's. Me, an Italian vehicle addict? eehhhmm why? :-)

Looking forward to meeting up with you guys somewhere in the future.

Cordiali saluti
Jeroen

Welcome to F-Life Jeroen.
Another Ferrari / Ducati lover here too. Though my oldest "classic" is only an early 916...

barcheta · 10-21-2011, 08:46 AM

Welcome! The 550 is a great car. Enjoy!

550JM · 10-21-2011, 09:47 AM

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone!

550JM · 10-21-2011, 09:48 AM

these are my Duc's, Barry.
I'll be posting pics of the 550 soon...

Jeroen- Welcome and always nice to have another Maranello owner on Ferrari Life. Your countryman Ben Deetman has a wonderful site at ferraridatabase.com. If you have not seen it, you can download owners manuals and workshop manuals for the 550 and many other cars from that site.

550JM · 10-21-2011, 10:49 AM

Thanks Terry! I had come across that site, indeed a good resource!

550JM · 10-25-2011, 12:04 PM

Now where are the Dutch members??

JazzyO · 10-26-2011, 12:44 AM

Hi Jeroen,

sorry I missed your post. But then again, where are the pics???

Fellow Dutch 550 owner here. Although I do not live in the Netherlands, most of my cars do and I am there regularly. Congrats on choosing the 550, it was my first Ferrari and I still love it to bits after 40,000kms in mine. Perhaps you'd be interested in reading some of my adventures in it, you can find them in the FerrariLife Quarterly which you can download from this site.

If you have any questions, let me know.

@Taz - thanks for that pointer, I had not heard of Ben Deetman.

Onno

Welcome to FL, Jeroen. Sorry for the belated welcome. I know nothing of bikes to say anything of value, but those are exquisite Ducatis there. Lovely sight. w/ smiles Jimmy

bay · 10-30-2011, 02:15 AM
