For me personally, I am interested in issues related to a specific model particulary if you are on the search for a purchase. I do not think that the average 308 owner wants to hear all about 456's and vice versa. This is the patern used on the Rennlist.com board, its discussion is sorted by car type, this is just an idea, I realize its not possible to please all people all the time.

After all, what Ferrari is not a classic ? L.

Still, I think "Vintage" is a better title than "Classic."

Of course I will miss the thread on proper ways to wash a Ferrari, but....

A history section would be great.

For instance a new trhead appeared yesterday about Drogo-bodied cars. Since I'm highly interested in classic Ferraris and discovered that more people seem to like them I would suggest to create a separate topic, called 'Classic Ferraris'. I'm convinced that people like Wayne Ausbrooks and Gerald Roush and others would be able to contribute. The topic should be about the cars, their history and images. At the moment these threads are part of the 'General Ferrari Discussion'. From my side I can provide many photographs including serial numbers. It is not my first priority to discuss about the color that left rear brake calipers on 360 spiders should have, neither am I interested in the fact that a Tubi-exhaust sounds a semitone higher than an Ansa. Perhaps more Ferrari-chatters agree. Please show your opinion about this idea. Thanks!
