    Rob, I just want to echo what DaisyCutter said, I don't know if I would ever have purchased a Ferrari if it wasn't for this forum. All the great people and information here were and continue to be invaluable in Ferrari ownership for me.

    It's difficult to create something that is entertaining and informative (an addiction my wife would say). You have clearly accomplished that and deserve a big thanks from all who frequent this site.

    Congratulations on both the creation and sale.

    Cograts Rob... Since you aren't leaving the scene, please make it better but keep the core value of this chat. Most of chat members are in the same boat as me being involved with other cars' forums, this UNIQUE Ferrari Chat you created is far more engaged by the owners where everyone can exchange, share information than others by far. What a great community here and no one is willing to leave.

    Again, conglatuations...

    Is Motorsport.com an environmental operation in disguise trying to buy up every motoring related publication to then destroy the image of motorcars for ever? Is Al Gore behind it?

    If they can fix that thing where it logs you out right after you've typed a long reply, deleting the reply and bringing you to a blank white screen, then I'm all for it!

    we need to work with you on that, doesn't happen to most users I know. certain browsers and LONG posts might time out from browser perspective. I always suggest throwing the text into empty email or whatever just in case, plus you can spell check it there too.

    I always copy it to clipboard now just in case, but it will probably annoy new users.

    I recall a couple of the Ducati forums that I frequented a few years ago, they were singular communities. Then they were bought by Motorcycle.com and everything changed.

    Hopefully Rob and the new owners will use Ferrari as an example (separate from FIAT ;) ).

    Cheers to you Rob!

    Dang, if there's corporate money behind it, maybe I'll apply for the FChat job! :)
