Ferrari Magazine

Ok, help me with my ignorance of anything not American. I got a renewal notice for the magazine and the price was 250,00 Euros which on www.xe.com comes out to $31,000.00 US. Or is the comma actually a period in US currency

But you guys will never beat us at football because we call it soccer

 

No that's correct - it's $31,000 send me the money and I'll send you the magazines

 

The webpage says "Subscribe to the Official Ferrari Magazine
One year subscription to Ferrari Magazine (3 issues of 180 pages plus a Yearbook special issue of 280 pages) at a total cost of € 250,00. Annual subscriptions begin with the first available issue."
The comma is a decimal point in USD. The period in the sentences above is a period, end of the sentence. So it is 250 Euro.

Our asset management software that we write must deal with regional regional settings in computers which change those characters and is a pain. There are plenty of countries that swap the meaning of the comma vs the period compared to us. Who is right??? Everyone. Now, driving on the wrong side of the street, that is another story

lmfao!!!

 

Cheque is in the mail ( notice the Canadian spelling ).

 

Even $250 is too much for essentially a marketing piece they should either give away to owners or offer at a small charge.

 

it is free to owners but lapses at some point.

 

it is free to owners for the first three years.

 

I am an owner but have not received the magazine . I bought a new california from ferrari of washington they claim they know nothing about the magazine . I think they did not turn in my name correctly or something.
But FERRARI MAGAZINE IS NOW AVAILABLE ON IPAD for $7.99 but issue and it is a nice magazine with expanded information. I just bought issue number 17 the older issues are less.

corrected

 

Everybody I know received the magazine, not sure if it is 3 years.

So just to perhaps ruin your day more, did you receive a 1/16h replica of your car with all the options chosen that has your name plate and a certificate of authenticity from Ferrari that states it was a hand assembled replica from the factory?

I will post pics tomorrow if you did not get one - it is in my office.

 

No, but my car was pre-owned.

 

Yes i did receive that along with the ferrari book . However for reasons un known to me or my dealer I do not receive Ferrari Magazine. Which is a shame since I have a Maserati and a 550 Marenello along with the california I do get a Maserati publication every few months >>

Just a one of those things

 

The iPad edition is nice, but to me there is something special about the size, heft and gloss of the print version. Lightly used back issues are widely available on eBay and automobilia sites, and as noted in other posts, buyers of new cars are supposed to get it for 3 years (I suspect as part of the strategy of ongoing brand reinforcement until the next car is ordered). I especially liked the puff pieces featuring interviews & pics of Nick Mason's, Eric Clapton's & Chris Evans' Ferrari collections.

 

I would love to get it I even filled out a subscription form and mailed it in . Still no magazine. If anyone knows if the dealer needs to turn in my name or something . I will contact FOW They just claim they do not know how it gets sent?? seems odd.

Maybe ask the concierge @ FNA?

 

Fulfillment is subbed out to some firm in Minnesota; I'll try to remember to note the company and address next time I get one.

 

That would be great .Thanks

Thanks for the suggestion. I just got of the phone with Debrorah at FNA and they had an error that FOW will correct tomorrow and hopefully that will correct the issue . I took a car that was previously ordered and they had me has the owner but apparently the magazine was going to the person that originally ordered it . Easily correct though.

Some of the girls who build the cars are pretty hot!

 

MOST are! Some are stunning.

And, how about the model in the 250LM article. WOW! Just my type.

 

Thank you .. My dealer says he has it straight now however I did not get my copy so I will call them in the morning

 

I was going to say exactly that but held back. I so agree.

 

The reason for the high number is the use of the , and the .
In Europe we say 31.000,-
In the US you say 31,000

€250,- is $314,70 today.
