Peter, Sorry, I can sympathize with you but when was the last time you ever voted and were allowed to change it later, never. I have to be neutral here and fair to all, the rules were stated in advance and advice given at the beginning of this post to hold off on your vote until you had heard all the lobbying for and against both names and that your vote is final. If we allowed you to change your vote we would have to let everyone do the same. Elections don't work that way. The rules are the rules and fair is fair. Who knows, it looks as though Fratelli might just pull this off once the final count and confirmation process is finished. Whatever happens, may the best name win.
No vote changes .................... but the polls have not closed yet ....................... the Fratelli 355 needs all the help it can get...
Voting this stuff isn't really my thing.... But, I got a PM asking me to vote fratteli (or was it Milli Vinnili)....Now, normally I'd require some sort of short skirt / tight blouse situation to sway me, but what the hell. Don't post my VIN and put another down for Frattlu.....That doesn't mean we'll take long walks or hold hands and don't send me a shirt with some pasta name on it.
Voters remember, if you have placed a vote in the poll but have not confirmed your vote by posting the last six digits of your vin, your vote will not count and will be discarded. If you haven't voted you have until 6:00PM Mtn.time Sunday to cast your choice. Fratelli 355 or Scuderia 355, what will it be? All accounted for at this moment it looks to be close to a tie so your vote may make the difference. Get out and vote!
Sorry Goth... No love on the Fratelli 355... Scuderia 355 all the way!!!!!!!! Voted..107123.. When is the vote done?
OK, as of now and this is unofficial, here's where we stand. Right now the vote on the tally board says: Fratelli with 29 votes and Scuderia with 39 votes. Here are the adjustments as I know it but 285Ferrari is in the know as far as VIN confirmations and will advise us how this may change. First subtract 2 votes from Fratelli since one is mine and does not count and also Night Life who made an 'oops' as well. Just a note for Robbie is that 'LetsJet just made a vote by post for Fratelli but did not vote the poll......so, add one more to Fratelli which brings the total Fratelli vote to 28. Next subtract 7 votes from Scuderia because they are not confirmed by VIN # as of yet (Note, if you want your vote to count you better post the last six digits of your VIN or it's a no go). I can vouch as previously stated for AV Motorsport/ Alex/ as I know him and his beautiful 355. So all said and done so far the unofficial vote totals are: Fratelli...........28 Scuderia........32 This is going to be close. Remember polls close about 6:00 p.m./ Mt. Sunday evening. Come on all you 355 guys/ 285Ferrari listed tons of your names and there is a bunch of you that have not voted as of yet, YOU can make a difference, get to it and cast your vote! Ferrari285 heads up the 355 Registry and will confirm ownership and votes for the final talley.
I voted at the very start of this thread...but didn't post my VIN. Well, so here it is: #115614 and Go Scuderia!!!!
don't forget to count the dangling "chads" and certain voters feel dis-infranchised so there is no doubt this is going to the courts.
The following list is as of right now-----Like the rules say---No VIN post or other confirmation the vote will not count. Having 355 in your profile does not cut it... 1Turbo DannyR Dino DrWhoopie exoticlover Fintele gf1red Highlow joefab speedy pete All these votes are for Scuderia----There are two votes in Fratelli that will not count---Bushwhacker and Night Life---All others for Fratelli have been confirmed, to include LetsJet post confirming vote-- If the vote ended right now and took all factors into consideration --- Scuderia 355 - 31 confirmed votes Fratelli 355 - 30 confirmed votes At this point people would wonder why we used an unoriginal, race team, 430 name and not a unique name that could only be associated with us 355 owners---WOW!!! I asked my girlfriend which she liked better---Her exact words were "Isn't Scuderia refer to the F1 team, why would someone pick that, why don't you guys use an original name?" I said like Fratelli 355---she said "That's much better to identify your specific group of car guys" Just one outsiders view!!!!
How about Scutelli? Or Frateria? Scudelli maybe? Sounds like a place to pick up a ham sandwich. "Honey I'm going out to the Scudelli for lunch. Shoulld I pick up some beer while I'm there?" Just tryin' to help....
