    Hardly any I'm afraid :(

    Would be nice with more traffic.

    Do you live in Seoul?

    I have a deposit on a 458 from FMK. About a year wait. I'm a very impatient person, so I'm literally going through hell right now.. hehe

    Unfortunately few Koreans on Fchat. I posted a year ago and had sparse responses. Congrats on the 458! I was able to sit in the car last week - beautiful car. I will likely be in Seoul later this year and it would be great to get together with some Korean Ferrari brothers. Let us know when you get the car.

    All the people there are very nice and friendly :)

    How did you spec your 458 if you don't mind me asking? I'm sure you cannot wait^^

    I didn't spec it yet. There are exactly 10 people in front of me, and the first 4 are in production right now. I have my fingers crossed for some of the 6 left to cancel. hehe

    It would be great to meet other Ferrari owners in Korea. FMK sometimes hosts gatherings for customers. F1 GP days and small parties.

    Yes it's hard to get to know others. Due to time I was only able to go to one F1 day but it was a small group. Hopefully more and more people will come once news starts spreading!

    Is FCK a busy club?

    I don't live in Korea, but I was planning to visit family and attend the inaugural Korean GP but it seems that won't happen. But I still might take the family before we hit Europe for a vacation.

    Would love to stop by the Ferrari dealer in Korea.

    Is it in Seoul?

    the FCK is very active in Korea and I would suggest joining for club events, drives, etc... they also have a Ferrari Club Cafe/Restaurant in pyeongchang dong.

    I miss Korea :( Was there for a year but didn't see any ferraris or other exotics. Would love to make more car friends over there since I love spending time with new family there

    I'm an English guy living in Ulsan. Been here around 8 months and seen several nice cars in that time. 458, 599s, 430s etc, mainly in Busan.

    I'm very interested in the Ferrari club, do non-owners come along at all?

    yes, a there are a large number of non-owners in the club as well. meet/greets and drives are pretty frequent (around once every two weeks or so).

    About 3 weeks ago FMK imported an all black Enzo by airfreight from Germany, hopefully some Korean enthusiasts get to see it one day.

    Best,

    I'd be quite interested in coming to one of these if possible! However, my written Korean isn't great, any way to join the club?
