    I imagine the original tiles would have been made locally. As I expect you know, ceramics is the other big local industry around Maranello. In fact, my kitchen floor tiles were made in Fiorano, although it was entirely by coincidence as I bought them at my local tile shop and only noticed where they were made when I got them home (they don't have Cavallinos on them though).

    I understand from what Luca colliani told me that they were a gift from a tifosi businessman that knew Enzo... I wish I could have them replicated. The ideal ferrari memorabilia.

    Actually the remaining tiles were bought up by Continental in Hinsdale, Illinois. So that would be a good place to start calling. But by now their supply might be zero as well since they were selling them. I bought one just for my collection.

    You know what I would love to see?
    Someone with free time, calculate how many laps or miles or km has Scuderia Ferrari done in its F1 history from day one (racing laps/miles/km not qualifiying etc), and which team comes 2nd and 3rd.
    that would be spectacular....

    If you end up being a tile short you can certainly have mine.

    It’s a shame we aren’t all on the same continent, we should have an Fchat racing series. Various groups of racers so everyone gets a go, and us ferrari owners and appreciators could get out on the tracks, have some fun, let people have a drive (not in a race mind you, I ain’t stupid enough to let anyone do that!) and have some lighthearted competition. All marques invited except Mercedes though! Hehe

    I’m hearing good things so far from my cousin at the Scuderia regards the tests on new components..... please god let this year be the one we smash Mercedes for six - if we do they’ll probably pack up and leave f1, being the great sportsmen they are (NOT)

    I love being in one of the few areas we can be Tifosi and discuss Ferrari and the greatest team in the history of F1. I so love Ferrari it’s actually physically painful to read some of the ******** around here some days. I do hope we find a magic bullet for next year and wipe those Mercedes off the track and lap them every race, and I hope bottles grows a pair of bollocks and actually refuses to be a lapdog for the little ballerina. With luck, Honda will have an engine good enough to let Maxine mix it with him too, and punts him into the gravel a few times....... awwwwwwwww, daydreams are soooooo relaxing

    I watched the Canadian GP of 1995 today, what a difference from today’s ******** races, sorry, foregone conclusions...... the engines sounded great, Murray screaming out his commentary, Michael driving away from the front, McLaren and Williams still able to be competitive. Boy did Michael know how to make that Benetton a match for the all powerful Williams..... had they had a decent driver in it, mind you, he would have had a tougher job, but Damon hill was never among the best drivers, he was another guy that could be quick if the car was perfect, hence his results..... That Williams could have been the class of the field in 1992 right thru to 1996 if truth be told, it was THE car to have, but Michael was THE driver, he made that second row Benetton, sometimes third row Benetton, into a world beater..... what a driver

    Forza Ferrari

    I heard Kimi has been awarded the Smirnoff Man of the Year award for 2018 after his spirited display at the FIA dinner last weekend..... i thin’ I’d rather be known as the man having the most fun at a stuffy awards ceremony than the boring one that only eats lettuce and daisies....... Hehehehe. Forza Kimi! Hope you smash it at Sauber next year mate, and get a few podiums! One of the best Ferrari characters ever
