    I think its best to stay legit. If you have a half a brain you can make enough to own and keep a Ferrari. More brain = more Ferrari's.

    How would you like to see your nice car hauled away by the DEA and sold at auction ;)

    Oh, and your new roomate is named BUBBA and he's got that lovin feelin.

    Isn't part of the enjoyment of owning/driving a Ferrari, the
    struggle and sacrifice most owners endure to achieve it?

    1st. No. Jail doesn't seem like a fun time and non-extradition countries are running pretty thin these days.

    2nd. Arlie I do remember a story about lord so & so cutting up a bunch of his Ferraris and trying to collect the insurance money.

    3rd.
    You seriously need to out whoever this is. Getting ripped for $25 thousand is damn serious business, no less from a site sponsor. WHO?

    Actually, I think I have a feeling and know who, but am confused, I thought you were pleased with the work done by them? What happened between your earlier posts of praise and now the feeling of betrayal?

    Best luck in resolving your issues.

    maybe I'm too old fashioned, but why would you do something illegal when there are plenty of honorable & legal ways to earn the money for a nice F car?

    Heres a little story for you guys out side of UK.
    There's a Lord that lives not too far from me in Uk and he had a collection of Millions of dollars worth of Ferrari's. Anyway , he is told by the bank his family buisness is going down ,so he fakes 2 Ferrari's being stolen and puts in an insurance claim for a couple of mill ,then the bank finds it's made a mistake and he's ok. So he tries to stop the claim but they investigate him and he goes to jail for a few years!!
    What chance do us commoners have !!?

    What are you talking about?
    This thread isn't doing anyone wrong in my opinion.
    Why would it give this site a bad name and drive people away?
    Don't take this thread so seriously.
    I like this site 'caus most members are crazy about Ferrari and are here to share experiences, technical info,... , but also have a taste of humor. Am I wrong?

    I just wondered; I would do a lot to own a F-car but wouldn't go so far (doing illegal stuff) to own one. The poll shows what I thought would show up here. Most people on this site are passionate about the marque (of course), but illegal bussiness to achieve the goal is a bridge too far for most of them.
    So...no bad feelings.

    Also, IF this thread WAS to "offensive", "wrong" or "gives the site a bad name", no one HAS to answer it or give a reaction to it. Just let it slip down to the bottom.

    Greets, Forza Ferrari, Alex.

    Rob is aware of it!

    I am very happy with my Norwood setup. Let me make that perfectly clear. James Patterson is a true professional. I was referring to someone else.
