    I have been checking all the posts on this website for sometime now and as a huge ferrari fanatic i decided to join so that i could talk to and share experiences with everyone involved!

    At only 19 it is my lifetime ambition to one day own a ferrari and i have been blessed with the opportunities to experience awesome supercars first hand. Being a massive car fan for many years i have always been excited when seeing ferraris and lamborghinis and the like driving around. As i turned 18 i was gifted with a track day in a lamborghini diablo VT which was to say the least....an experience! Then for my 19th birthday i have been gifted a lotus elise track day which was once again a once in a lifetime opportunity!

    I often visit car showrooms including the likes of joe macaris and romans international, just to be able to dream and get that one step closer to these amazing machines. I have also been able to be a passenger in an F40 which was probably the best day of my life, an ex girlfriends father owned one as well as a 550. What cars they really are!

    I took a visit to london today and after reading a recent post by a fellow ferrarichatter seeing a zonda and murcielago race down park lane i thought i should pay this wonderful street a visit. My oh my what cars i saw, aswell as numerous ferraris i saw rolls royce phantoms, bentley continental gt's, and numerous aston martins.

    I took some pictures which were only on my camera but thought you would all like to see them, also i will post some pictures of some beautiful cars i have seen at car shows which i have been to close to where i live.

    I think this website is great and i hope to one day be able to afford my dream ferrari. I aspire to all of those on here who have reached their dreams and who drive around in what can only be said as mind blowing cars!!

    Enjoy!!!

    P.S i read a post about someone being given a drive in a 550, if anyone in the hampshire area is willing and generous enough to give a 19 year old university student a ride in their ferrari i would be more than grateful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Welcome!

    Lots of software can resize to 640 x 640 required.

    I was directed to Photo Resizer Pro..they have a 'lite' version that is downloadable as shareware...

    Good luck, I too hung on the cyclone fence at the track for many years....seems like I had more beer money in those days........

    Try emailing the pics to yourself ; Windows shd automatically offer to resize them for you. PM me if you are around South of London. We often organize rides out and you're welcome in a humble 355 Spider anytime ;)
