    Well, ok, not completely new. Some of you are already spending some time there.

    We've been rolling it out slowly over the past few weeks to make sure it's manageable.

    Here's what is involved. You must be:

    1) A current Ferrari owner
    2) Confirmed as such by a moderator (such as me) or by 3 users who have seen you and your car. Please send 5-6 confirming users if possible (in order to obtain 3 replies in a timely fashion) or the name of a moderator who knows you and your car. (Send me their USER ID's, please, I don't know every member by name. )
    3) Silver or Rossa Subscribed.

    And benefits and conditions of membership in the Owner's Forum include:

    1) Access to an owner's only forum.
    2) A high level of decorum will be the standard of behavior. There will be strict observation of the TOS and TOU.
    3) A personal "garage" thread to post information and discuss the cars and models that you own
    4) Owner's Forum users are expected to maintain the privacy of other Owner's Forum users
    5) Future features and enhancements are under consideration and being discussed

    So, if you're interested, drop me a PM with your references, year and model of car, and I'll get the ball rolling for you.

    If I get swamped, it may take a little time to get back to you, but so far, it usually takes about a week to gain access.

    If you have any other questions, please drop me a note.

    Thanks,

    Andreas

    What about those of us who are not only new to the new owners forum but are new to Ferrari ownership as well? Perhaps a regional drive should be arranged so we can satisfy the required number of witnesses.

    There are plenty of events coming up within the FCA and FOC. FCA has a drive on May 10th and FOC a tech session on April 27 just to name a few. Join either and you'll get all the "witnesses" needed.

    Yea I know of those events. Unfortunately, I can’t attend either. I'm surprised no one else here has tickets to Sesame Street Live.

    Well, I'll probably show up for a while, but I don't know if Andreas will accept me as a Bona Fide reference... :D

    Since you are an owner and subscribed, unfortunately you qualify. :)

    There goes the neighbourhood of the Owner's forum...

    Keep it coming folks!

    Remember you need 3 FChat members who act as witnesses to your car. Or one spotting by yours truly. :)

    Latest member to the owner's forum is DrGek and his black 599.

    I happened to stubble upon this outlet for valuable Ferrari information. I'm looking foward to purusing this local forum. I have had an intense passion for Ferrari's for the past 40 years and I am happy to see a dedicated forum.

    The shortcut to the process is meeting me as I'm a mod. But you need to be subcribed to FChat (silver or better).

    Welcome! You came to the right place. Sometimes it gets a bit rough, but such is the internet. For the most part you'll find good camaraderie and advice.
