    lol - not quite. :)

    I've got a MINI (currently declared off-road and not in use) and a SmartCar ForTwo in the UK. I'm presently in the United States driving nothing at all. :eek:

    All the best,
    Andrew.

    I would love this option very much also. Alternative 1: Rob contacts me, when he is around here, for handing it over. I would be happy to invite him for coffee and cake in my garage. Alternative 2: I send it by letter, addressed "Rob, USA" (no address info around here, or I am too stupid to find it).

    interesting, I actually didn't know that and wonder if something I can fix because 2checkout is located in the UK! :) I'm pretty sure you can enter your cc info for USD and it will do the conversion on your end.

    Yep-per.

    '81 GTSi - 34641. Carbon has the data.


    Not old enough and wife won't vouch for me to get into the Owner's Forum as it is Rated "R." ;)




    On a side note, at 259 as of my vote, we are getting dangrously close to 10% of all the 3x8s ever made. Kind of amazing to me.

    You don't so much as own a Ferrari, as being a temporary care taker for the next person to possess the car.

    Current: '07 612 HGTS
    Previous: '87 328 GTSi, '83 512 BBi

    The flaw here is that most non-owners will either skip over this thread entirely or not bother to vote in the poll. To get a more accurate count of the percentage of active users who are owners, try using the total number of owners that you get from this poll vs the total number of active users (which you can discern from other information available to you).

    what % of active owners are voting in this thread?

    I agree with the flaw, but still think this is the most accurate as a similar % of non-owners and owners will see this thread, will that many non-owners just choose not to vote? I'm sure there are a few, but this is still the most accurate inaccurate.

    After 36 years of dreaming of owning a Ferrari (and telling everyone from school onwards that I'd own one one day!), the dream became reality last May when I bought a 1990 348 TS.

    The reality has been even better than the dream!

    This is the part I disagree with. If I saw a thread titled, "Do you own a BMW?" (and since I do not own a BMW), I would probably not even click on that thread. The same with, "Do you own a plane?", "Do you have a swimming pool?", "Have you ever bungee jumped?", and "Do you own a zeppelin?"* I think I recall seeing a thread asking whether people here smoke weed. I never even clicked on it. If that thread had a poll, then we might assume by the results that 80% of the active users here smoke weed.**

    *Okay, out of curiosity, I would probably click on the "Do you own a zeppelin?" thread.

    **We know this is not the case, or else P&R, F1, and the LaF threads would be much more mellow than they are.

    Anyway, there's no easy way to get an accurate count, but having spent a ton of time on this site, my best guess is that about half of the active users here are or have been Ferrari owners.

    Agree with this line of thinking.

    So, here's an idea.
    Write a script to count how many fchat users have visited the website since 3/30/2015 based on their Last Activity Date. (3/30 is when the survey thread was first started).
    Assume everybody probably saw the survey thread and most people decided not to post in it.
    Subtract the total number of recent users from the survey answer total counts (currently 327 users) and assume all of those other recent users are not Ferrari owners.

    That would give you a more realistic percentage of Ferrari owners.

    I would look at how many different users posted/responded in the Technical Q&A section.

    I hardly ever go there. I stick to the sub forum for the car I am trying to get info on.

    I rarely post in Technical Q&A as well. I go to the Model section for most of the questions. But I have posted in the Technical Q&A and so have you :)
    I think Technical Q&A is a great barometer for Ferrari ownership.
