    Hello, my name is Nathan and I have just started working at Foreign Cars Italia fixing Ferraris and Maseratis. I just wanted to introduce myself to everyone and say that would enjoy meeting you. A little about my Ferrari history; I started my technician career with being a part of the Ferrari Elite Apprenticeship Program. I worked at Ferrari of North America, then I worked at the Ferrari factory where I worked in every department building the Ferrari car. From Italy I moved to Miami where I worked at the Ferrari dealer The Collection, and was there a little over a year. Now I am here in Greensboro at FCI with Casey (which some of you know). If you are ever in the neighborhood or bringing your car in for service/repairs, stop in the shop and introduce yourself. I look forward to meeting you all, hope to see you soon.

    Welcome aboard Nathan!!! Currently I'm F-car-less :( , but there might be another one in my future. I purchased my 308 from FCI-Greensboro back in June of 2000, and Paul Reich was the salesman. Nice guy and the sale was very smooth (even had a transporter ready to shoot my 308 up to Connecticut :) ). Next time I'm up in the area, I'll try to stop by and say HI to ya!!!

    Again, WELCOME TO FERRARICHAT :) !!!!!

    Welcome Nathan. I purchased my 430 from Hank at FCI. You may see it in the near future because I want to make some changes to the seats. I do not have enough headroom when I drive the car on the track with my helmet on. Any ideas?

    Hey David,

    We have a couple of options with your headroom issue, obivously the specifics with your interior color would have to be added in, but we do offer, through Ferrari, the alcantara racing seats for your 430. These seats would put you closer to the floorboard offering you more headroom, and they are very comfortable (driving preferance comfortable). I hope that helps to some extent, and we would be happy to look into more options if you are looking for something different. Safe driving,

    Nathan

    Aww, dude! I quit wrenching years ago. :D

    It's just that I did it for MUCH longer than I haven't done it. ;) Learned a LOT along the way. :)

    Nathan, keep doing it, learn as much as you can, share that knowledge straight up and you will be able to afford one of these beauties someday!
