    So with all this expenditure on new servers, RAID disks, etc...do we want some extra fundraising?
    Rob, Fchatters;
    How about a Ferrarichat.com license plate frame? This way, if you see a Ferrari and are wandering if it is one of ours, you can tell right away ! Or even put this on your commuter (in my case, the Maserati).

    I would pay an extra $5 to $10 over the purchase cost for one of these babies...I know that Rob has been planning a boutique section, anyway, but something like this would be neat.

    thx

    $16 each, 15 at a time, copy on top and bottom, just about any color combo you want.

    Carbon Fiber may be a little tougher to find, although I remember seeing something in a Griot's catalog once...

    Does that mean you are organizing this for FChat?

    go ahead, bug Rob about these items.

    I've offered to set him up with an online store, get the products, do the shipping, etc, give him a big cut, but "he has a guy he's working with" on this.

    Sooner or later, he'll get it going.

    In the mean time, I whipped up some nice hats and shirts for the NY-Tri State guys last year, even got to keep one, so I'm set!!!!

    Sure, you guys want me to, and Rob says ok, I'll hook something up for everyone who wants one, and, (based on prior experience) prepays in full by paypal.

    I'll PM Rob about it if you guys are really interested, and see if I can get something that resembles carbon fiber if we want that. Only thing is the CF I found was $60 and up, plus I' dhave to find someone who would be willing to either silk screen it, or foil stamp it, and at $60 a pop, most of my guys won't want the risk.

    Amusingly, the license frames would be illegal in Texas -- home of Fchat.

    Take a look at the Mondial T coupe next time you see it, Dave.

    And mine, from not too long ago -- I need to put it back on for inspection

    Dave R O C K S!

    He went out of the way to do caps and shirts for the Tri-State crew. Completely on the ball, and utterly responsive. Highly recommended!

    Wow that be cool. You could (in theory) put Ferrarichat on the bottom and your user name on top! :D I know I would buy 3!

    Not by choice we assure you. It's more a matter of survival. Sad fact is that it's just not very wise to wander around Hill and McLennan counties without the state issued decoration on the nose. Tempting fate like that in these here parts will make you a winner in the wrong type of popularity contest. Ah well.

    Omar.

    I'm pretty sure that would be do-able. However, we'd have to go to engraved frames with custom titles, which would cost a bit more. I think we could standardize the bottom, like you said, and then just put user names on the top.

    Of course, with the internet, now you're letting anyone behind you know where you hang out, both in the real world and in cyberspace, and you're giving them your username and your license number. THAT MAY NOT BE THE BEST IDEA.

    Just my .02 on this.

    I'd like to see one that read "My other car doesn't matter." on the top and Ferrarichat on the bottom.

    Ok, let's get this ball rolling

    They also make frames that do not obscure any of the plate. That would for sure be the way to go on this.

    This sounds like a really good idea.

    I love the way the FOC license plate frame looks. How about something like that? Chrome anyone?

    All good. I'm not a design guy but I can tell you that even considering using the Ferrari Font will land us in a world of ****!!!

    That's just the way it is. I asked the folks at Ferrari once if I could use the logo or type for a charity event and they told me, very politely, to pound sand. They enforce their trademarks very aggressively.

    But, all you design guys out there, get to work. If you come up with a good design that we use, yours will be a freebie.
