    think I will always be pretty conservative, but surprised the Ferrari community hasn't disowned me for not owning a 12 yet. :eek:

    Congrats Rob!
    Great job manning the helm for so many years. I'm hopeful that you'll continue to steer us through stormy waters.
    Just don't let them ax the P&R section until at least next year, please :)
    cheers!

    Maybe it is time to re-launch some FerrariChat swag, such as hats, polo shirts, t-shirts, etc.

    With the new corporate backers, this could be a good thing.

    Plus, it would help the overall branding of the new mobile app, etc.

    Congratulations to Rob for your successful business growth and sale. I look forward to seeing the new content.

    I would have to agree with the other who posted after seeing the "new" logo on the front page. I just saw it.

    I'm not a fan of the new Ferrarichat logo. Prefer the older one. The new one just doesn't look like a professional put it together.

    Btw - I'm ambivalent about the new logo, but like others have reported it's about 20% too wide (or the sponsor logo is) so the forum content itself is squeezed down a bit on my Android phone.

    Congratulations to Rob for this great deal.
    Though as a FChat member since the beginnings and comparing it to other car forums I am seriously worried about the future of FChat and fear, that it will lose its unique feature.
    There are several reasons why I almost only participate here. It's great while a lot of other forums are simply unbearable for me.

    It may end like so many small family enterprises which were bought by big corporate groups.

    Best Regards from Germany
    Martin

    I can take care of hats. Lots of chat members know that my company works with Ferrari racing team and Vettel wears our hat. I got few samples with his signature stitched and shared with few chat members. We also work with MB, AM, Audi racing team and others with hats. I could definitely make hats for the forum. I'm not interested in making money for hats where if there are plenty of people want to design and create one, then one person should be in charge for business and I will solely provide hats. Flexfit.com. We have 900+ SKU's to choose from or customize the whole thing.
