    So, when are you a professional? Are you still an amateur after you have owned three or four Ferrari's. Or if you own just one?
    Within this forum we have members that are highly respected for their Ferrari knowledge by Ferrari Spa. Watch out what you say.

    Sorry, I don't have time to make pictures of other peoples cars.
    Also I don't have time to drive around in a friends Porsche.

    All because I am driving in my own Ferrari.

    Sorry for being an amateur............

    I know what you meant. And I know there are lot of more nice exotics.
    But I don't like you talking about amateurs in here.
    Like Ton said, there are a lot of VERY respected people in here with lots of Ferrari knowledge. Owners and non-owners. No difference made here.

    It's all cool. Perhaps you miss used the word 'amateurs'. Didn't you mean 'enthusiasts'?

    I think the same thing!
    Don't worry. Everybody is respected within this forum. Even people that work in Monaco. :)
    You just have to understand that we have already encountered a whole bunch of nitwits on this forum. Maybe that is why we sometimes react a bit direct. We like to protect what we have.
    Give us a bit time. After a while we stop biting! :)

    And I came on the forum because I wanted to divide my photos.
    I saw the photographs of Chrystal Crove in the USA and I think that it was interesting to show my photographs, for to make pleasure with the members of this forum.

    I like the beautiful cars and my pleasure is to take them in photos.

    I surely made an error come here.
    I will continue to look at the photographs of the other members................

    Salut

    In the end it is your own choice. Nobody complained about your pictures.
    Do what you think is best.

    Can't we just get along? Giles we really appreciate your pictures. Honestly. I have looking forward to them for days ever since I found this thread. Monaco is a dreamland for me. I think there has been a simple missunderstanding.

    Looks indeed like a big misunderstanding :)

    Besides, on a board like this you can expect to deal with people who have a passion for... Ferrari :) Not neccesarily for other cars.

    There are indeed many great cars in the world, but hey, some of us just happen to like Ferrari's more than others... what can I say? :D

    I really enjoyed your pics...

    Salut Gilles.

    If you have problems with English, just write it in French as well. We can help translate.

    It really is a great community here.

    Gents, we are discussing and typing here in our second language!!!
    Sometimes something got lost or missunderstood while we translate it from xy to english.
    IMO not a big deal or fault.
    I have had many fights with he US dudes incl. Rob just of some translation niceties.

    But not all! :)
    Sometimes you started a fight because you wanted to.

    btw the French word for amateur is amateur! The French word for enthousiast is enthousiast!

    Wow , you need to unclench seriously . Even if Gilles missused the word amateur , in english its still not an insult or an attack.

    You on the other hand attacked him insinuating he wasted his time driving his friends car and taking other pple cars pictures.

    You should appologize if you havent already, instead of jumping to conclusions.

    Hello Andrew,

    we do have mods here! Ton & Simon.
    Its already on and mostly off-line being discussed by our mod Ton.
    I understand you quiet well to support a compatriot of you and your country.
    BTW, amteur is in french, english, german........always the same meaning.
    BTW, Gilles is not a newbie here - he is a long time reader here, a user in 5 other forums incl. Japan and even a moderator in another car forum - he is used with it;)

    Best
    Wolfgang

    Wolfigang ,

    Im not supporting a compatriot ( im brazilian ) , rather a friend who was wrongly attacked for no reason whatsoever. I didnt appreciate Roel's answer to Gilles and thats why i posted .

    The fact that Gilles is used to car forums has nothing to do with this , he didnt deserve this attitude.

    Andrew,

    it has been discussed yesterday.
    Ton, our mod, took action a.s.a.p. and all went well by PM & phone conversations.
    Yes, it was a bit overreaction from both parties.
