    I'm kind of a regular lurker at the Aston Martin forum, and one of the members there referred to the 'white Ferraris' picture thread here.

    I now spend 20x more time here than I do on the AM site.

    A neighbor of mine also had a ferrari and was already a Fchat member. He told me I could find a lot of useful information about our cars, and everything else is history.

    My long-suppressed lust for a vintage V12 had just reawakened in late 2001. I was doing a general search on aol for all things Ferrari and came across Fchat and Tom Yang at the same time. I started posting on Tom's board immediately but just checked in here occasionally because Fchat seemed to be concerned with newer Ferraris only. I joined after the Vintage sections were added, and then I discovered the P&R section...:)

    LOL - The one time in FerrariChat.com history I ever "spammed" was around the first day in 2000 when I sent an email out to every Ferrari person I knew or could find. The entire list was only about 150 emails. That is what jump started FerrariChat.com to a couple hundred users the first month and I've never spammed since.

    I just came here for all the fast women. ;)

    Besides: Callahan's was closed.

    (And the f-list technical list dried up.)

    I found FChat while searching for answers on how to buy a F430. (turns out that I can't, because I'm not willing to wait years, or pay way over msrp.)

    I stayed around for the bikini thread. : )

    My friend told me about it (Texas360Modena). He rarely views or posts anymore due to lack of time, but I'm glad he showed me. Great to have authentic F-Car owners share their cars, experience, and knowledge.

    My question is not how I got on here, but how do get away again? It follows me everywhere I go where they have a WWW connection. Found it through another Ferrari forum where they discussed this place I call home now....
