    Me too! we updated the logo, will have a different network ad provider, but not increasing the number of placements. slight possibility they want to replace some of the 728 by 90 with another size, but I think that size works best. we're not moving to a new server anytime soon, so no migration outage. any of the new stuff we do will be optional and another page, not redesigning the current foundation of FerrariChat.

    yes and big reason they liked FerrariChat besides being very Ferrari focused themselves.

    V12, I'm surprised I haven't been kicked out of FCA or FerrariChat for not having a real Ferrari yet. :D ;)

    just a general thanks to everyone. this was the right partner out of several bidders that wouldn't compromise the community we already have, but then will enhance it with all their other partners and resources.

    Congratulations are certainly in order. But what does this mean for serial numbers? More serial numbers? Less serial numbers? More serial number-posting encouragement?

    A proper V12 not a tractor V12 - no listening to Max.

    Congratulations, Rob! This is what starting and growing a business is all about. I'm involved in a lot of M&A activities at work and have been on both sides of the fence. The coming months will be an exciting time for you. Glad to hear that you are retaining the day-to-day operations.
