Napoleon crowned himself Emperor in a nation, that just got rid of a monarchy. Or look at some of the Roman Emperors. So go for it, snatch the crown or the laurels! As for the rest of us: Not even sure we vote for a King either. I think they too just declare themselves as such. Goes to show, that we're all too indoctrinated by these modern democrazies. Come to think of it: In that respect the original Ferrari King was right. He just declared himself as such. End of story. Until his people brought out the guilloutine of stripping him of his anonymity.

Now gimme a damn crown or something. Ton Visser (Lion315) Junior Member Username: Lion315 Post Number: 124 Registered: 12-2002 Posted on Tuesday, January 28, 2003 - 3:27 pm:    No offense of course.

I wanna be the official Court Chauffeur! That way, I get to drive everyone's Ferraris. And Nika...whipping boy? Arggh! Shiver me timbers! Ton Visser (Lion315) Junior Member Username: Lion315 Post Number: 123 Registered: 12-2002 Posted on Tuesday, January 28, 2003 - 3:26 pm:    It is actually rather funny to see how non-monarchistic people find it important to have a King and Queen.

I am not much for being a king, but an interesting part of my family history is that I am related to Catherine Parr who was King Henry VIII last wife...... Does not do me much good now, born a few hundred years too late!

I think the Ferrari King candidates should ask themselves, whether they'd end up as Louis XIV or Louis XVI. Don't loose your head...

For example, if we were only going along the lines of knowledge, then Mr. Ausbrooks would probably win all the votes... But Bruce is Mr. Knock-a-fella, himself... And if we were going by who owns an F40 and is really cool about it, well, then, Chris would take the chips and Rob- Rob's just awesome even though he does live in Texas ... Since we're gonna have a King & a Queen, we're gonna need a prince, a princess and a Jester, as well...

And I think it would go withpout saying that Nika is the Queen Pat Pasqualini (Enzo) Junior Member Username: Enzo Post Number: 203 Registered: 2-2002 Posted on Monday, January 27, 2003 - 4:00 pm:    Who here would be worthy of such a name? Rob Chris Parr LWayne Bruce Doody Maybe it is time we vote for a king before another has a chance to deem themselves King again. Maybe Rob could even reserve the name for the member elected King.
