OK I just confirmed that all but the last few orders have been shipped out last week, those that ordered recently will ship tommorow. If they aren't in your mailbox this week, we will further grill the printing company next Monday (and do something about it!). Please let us know when you get them! -Ben | ||

I'll be the random guy anywhere you buy anything and you bring the Fcar. ...Picture me shaking my fist in frustration... You own a Ferrari, how can you tell me you can't afford a calendar. Rich guy with a Ferrari, probably has more money than he knows what to do with, wont even buy a calendar, what a cheap skate. Even I bought one on my college income. Alright, that's all the rallying I can for you Rob or I might get looked down upon even more than I do now for my current antics in normal posts. | ||

Let's make Ben and I happy today. Come on you can do it, let's sell 10 calendars today. Only $22.95 each including S&H in the USA. It has dozens of the major Ferrari events already listed in the calendar. A couple dollars help support FerrariChat.com. I'm going to start counting down. These are all pics taken by users and most of user cars, not even all the users with their cars in there have bought calendars yet. http://ferrarichat.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=F&Category_Code=C03 | ||

The colors (or names of the series) correspond with the color of the text "2003" printed on the covers, (which aren't shown) and are labeled properly on the order page. Series "names" don't have much reference to content as no white cars are in the white series, it's just a name. I was trying to be more creative than "Series ONE", maybe it wasn't the greatest idea. If for any reason your order does not come out correct (and I don't anticipate that to be the case), give either myself or Rob a shout and we'll do something about it. Hope that helps. -Ben P.S. All the calendar layouts are true (top row = Jan, Feb, Mar, second row = Apr, May, Jun, etc.). The only change that was made is the pic of Rob Auto crossing his 328 which was White Series November has been changed to an F1 picture of the USGP. | ||

Ben can double check, please go by the ones on the order form. The ones on this post are in alpha order. If you order one from the site, you'll get the one of the pic it's next too. There's very little correlation between the calendar name and the color of the cars. | ||

i would just like to ask that we are 100% that the pictures next to the order buttons line up. i'm asking for two reasons. (1) robs thumbnails above are numbered 1 through 5 but do not correlate to the orderings on the order page. (2) the ordering page has names for each. for example, though, "Yellow Series" actually has no yellow cars of any sort in it (well a rear quarter panel of a yellow car in the background on one of the 12 pics). i'd like to order C03W and C03G, though the former is called "White Series" but has no white cars in it. so i'm just confused. any guidance much appreciated. doody. | ||

Thank you all for your orders! and thank you to JLJ jr. and others for your comments ;) I hadn't logged into Fchat yesterday but noticed all the orders in my email box, I was thinking it was because I was wearing my FerrariChat.com Polo Shirt like a good omen or something, then I log in to find this thread. Guess I won't need to wear it everyday then... As to why we didn't have a classic calendar vs. a modern models version really has to do with the pictures submitted by the owners...most are not "classics" so it would have been harder to fill that calendar with images vs. the 308/328 or 355/360/550 cars, and I'm all about variety. If you notice most of the calendars will have a different model for each month so if you have 2 different calendars you won't be looking at the same model on both (for the most part), with a majority of models, colors and angles shown. Thoughts for next year tho. Those that have ordered by Monday should have them in hand approx. 11/1 -Ben | ||

Rob, Thanks for the Reminder - just ordered mine! I do agree w/ Ty though - I believe you may want to organize the pictures a little different next year - I would like to congratulate you on a fine job, they all look great! Johnny | ||

my 2 cents - since you are producing multiple calendars, maybe have one dedicated to vintage, another to the late 70's and 80's, another to modern (355, 456, 550, etc.) and have the other few calendars a mix of cars like you have now. seems like most people that own vintage would rather see other vintage cars like their own and on the flip-side, people with a 550 would rather have pictures of 575's, 360's, etc.. dunno, just my VERY humble opinion!! | ||

I think November. Ben can say for sure. We really haven't sold too many. I think only about 30 and many people are ordering multiples. Is it because you want to wait until they're in inventory? Is it because your car isn't in them? Are they too expensive? Just looking for some feedback. We were shooting for over 200. I figure with 1,800 users and some buying multiples, then 200 would of been conservative. | ||
