    I just registered with the forum and wanted to introduce myself to everyone. I don't have a Ferrari, however these have been my favorite automobiles since the first time I saw one. I had the pleasure of coming across a small meet with some members this Saturday at the King of Prussia Mall. Those who were there were very nice and allowed my friend and I to drool over their cars and take pictures. So I figured, nice people who drive my favorite automobile.. why not join the board? Since I don't own a Ferrari, my contribution to discussions may be limitied, so I will do my best to contribute in areas where I have the proper knowledge and experience. I'm only 22, and will be graduating from Villanova University in about a week.. so I am new to the real world, but excited to hit the gates running, haha. I'm looking forward to a great time on the board, and hope I can make my contribution, as well as meet a lot of nice people.

    Welcome, John!! You've come to a very special place, where you will meet a lot of cool people and learn about all kinds of things.

    Don't worry about not able to contribute much to Ferrari discussions. I've got one in the household, but I still don't know enough to contribute adequately. As you can see, we talk a lot about other stuff. So, you will get plenty of opportunities to chime in.

    Have fun and enjoy! :)

    Villanova? So you have to see my Dino cruising by fairly regularly. The campus is on my direct route to everywhere.

    And, of course, you're walking distance to Algar Ferrari, which is like heaven on earth for Ferrari fans. And, they won't mind you looking, asking, etc.

    If you're staying in the area, we run around pretty regularly, and are working on getting a bunch of cars together soon. Watch the local Mid-Atlantic Region for notes on area get togethers.

    Welcome. You'll learn more here in a week than you will anywhere else in a year.

    John....Welcome to FChat! Don't sell yourself short on being limiting your activity on this forum. I spend most of my time on Off Topic and it's a lot of fun! There are some great people on this board that you can make friends with. I like the fact that I can travel to areas around the US and meet members that I have only chatted with on this forum.


    Congrats on your graduation. Now go out and get a good job and buy yourself a Ferrari!

    Hi John, welcome, I see that you have a Mitsu 3000GT, I also have a VR4 race prepared with aournd 600 hp :) nasty little beast LOL. Are you 3si as well ?My SN over there is Countach although I havent been around in quite a while since my engine blew at Watkins Glen 2 seasons ago. She is being rebuilt now

    I would advise you to join the Ferrari Club of America as soon as possible so you can meet & network w people & go to events & see these great cars close up.

    Isnt Villanova in PA ? If you are in PA this summer you should drop by Pocono International Raceway & see the Ferraris run there.

    DrStranglove: I will be sure to check out the bikini thread :)

    dm_n_stuff: I actually think I have seen the car. I LOVE to browse around Algar, and the people there are very friendly and allow me to walk around and admire everything they have.

    peters: I am working on trying to find a job, it's difficult to say the least. However I'm confident that I will land something soon.. hopefully :p

    WILLIAM H: I am on 3SI all the time.. sorry to hear about your engine. My car recently dynoed at 461 awhp at a baseline tune. But it is back in the shop for some better turbos due to the initial ones siezing on me :(

    Thanks for the awesome welcome everyone!

    John, were you there when my Carrera GT was there? I don't recall meeting you, but welcome aboard. You'll usually see me in the yellow 550 with the "BEAST" tag. Give a holler ext time you're headed over to algar.
