    Hi all,
    I am a new member, I hope I am welcome here. I do not own a Ferrari or Lambo but hopefully will one day as I love them, I am working on it!
    I currently own a Mercedes-Benz 190E Sportline, which you may not think is the greatest car in the world, however I love it. I run the UK Mercedes 190 Owners Club with my dad.

    I hope to get on with you all as I do plan on being an owner when I save up my pennies :)

    Hi Matthew
    Thanks for the reply and the welcome.
    My overall favourite Ferrari is the 70's 308GTB, there is something about that car that I love; My favourite new one is the 599, although I have always liked the 360 Spyder.
    So many nice ones...

    And my favourite Lambo is the Diablo, nothing comes close apart from the Ferrari 599 in my opinion.
    Do you own a Ferrari or Lambo?

    Hi Nick.

    Think I have to agree with you on the Lambo front. Diablo does it for me too. :)

    Hey Nick,

    No Ferrari or Lambo for me yet. Personally i love diablos, got them in the blood so its just a case of getting the finances at the right time etc. Love the Murcie Roadster as well

    The new Gallardo LP550 looks nice, its released at the Geneva show and I'm heading there on Friday, looking forward to it!

    Welcome to fchat. Eventhough i do own a ferrari my favourite make of car is mercedes. I own a few of them and swear by them. I've also owned 190's in the past and my favourite was a 1989 190e evo I. one of the best handling cars i have ever owned, you could go full throttle round a roundabout and the thing would not even break traction. I've also owned a 190e 3.2 AMG, a 2.3 16v, a 2.5 16v, a 2.6 auto, etc... I have probably owned most variants of the 190 and i have great respect for the baby merc.

    mattymouse, I have never been to the Geneva motor show, but I must go one year, what does it cost? I love that new lambo, I think it will be a big hit if they actually release it!

    Banana, First off, what Ferrari do you own? Secondly, to own that many 190's you must be a 190 fanatic? I know a couple of people with the Evo 1's, but noone with an AMG version, although I do know someone with the only Brabus 190 in england. Why don't you visit our club site and join the forum, there are many 190 owners and enthusiasts over there, obviously you love your Ferraris, but you would be most welcome over there with a wealth of experience with 190's. I own a Sportline, which handles like a dream aswell, stiffer, lower suspension; tighter steering box, sports styling, bucket-style seats etc.... I love it :) But would love a Ferrari one of these days... PM me for the web address if you are interested, I will not post it here as it is classed as advertising which is against most forums rules.

    decampos, do you own a 308?

    Thanks again to all for the welcome.

    LOL, you scared me then, i actually stopped and thought I had done something wrong! :)

    So you own a Challenge Stradale? How long have you owned it for, and have you ever taken it on a track? Or is that not your thing

    Just out of interest, as I am not currently a millionaire. If I were to buy a Ferrari 308 when I could just about afford one, what sort of money would I be looking at for say... The brake discs or maybe a clutch?

    Does anyone here work on their own cars or does it have to be dealer?

    My current ferrari is a 360 spider. and no i'm not just a 190 fanatic i'm a mercedes fanatic, but 190's are good little cars which are reliable and well built except for the 2.3 16v which was temperamental and a real pig sometimes with its erratic idling especially from cold. pm sent and i would love to visit your site.

    'Nana, I LOVE 360 spiders, it was a real wrench to sell mine to buy The Best Strad in Europe.

    I really miss the open top motoring, but I wanted the Strad driving experience. The bugger is my mate who I sold the Spider to has turned it into the UK's only Spider CS, its awesome, gutted :D:D:D

    360 Challenge Stradale's are indeed fine cars ...

    only at risk from becoming objects of extreme annoyance because some owners keep banging on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on (repeat adfinitum)

    :D
