    Yes this is another "good-bye" fchat.


    I'll still check in occasionally but not hour by hour like before.

    It has been a great 4 years on here, but time has come to move on.
    The ferrari is now long gone and I'm am moving to go back to school. I'll have little time for FChat.

    I have way too many memories to even start recalling, and have met some wonderful people on here, met some pricks as well, but that's what made it all fun.

    I stumbled upon here when I started looking to buy a ferrari, it took three years but I did it, and will never regret it.

    I have learned more about ferraris on here than I ever thought possible. There are some world class "experts" on here. And for any one wanting to enter into the "Red" car world, this site is worth it's weight in gold.



    Thanks first of all to Rob,
    for starting this crazy place.

    Then to stand-up class acts like..........................
    Mike Charness, Brucey W., William H., Alan, Judge4re, Uro., Crawford, Chas, Frank Lipinski, Eric M., Steve Valin, Wayne Ausbrooks, Jerry (Chiaro), Andreas
    dm_n_stuff (Dave), and Carbie.
    I know there are others I missed.


    This place has made me laugh, furious, and just about every emotion in between. But most of all it has been fun.

    I'll stop in occasionally, and keep all my buds email addresses.
    mine is [email protected] for those who want to keep me posted on any major developments that arise ;) or if you find yourselves in Nashville.


    Take care all............and be careful out there.

    Thanks for being a truly great bunch of guys (and gals)

    Perry, I though at one time that you were looking to be a boat captain in Florida. Did that deal fall through?

    I still hold my Capt lic. But at the moment I'm going to school to start working toward a Ph.d in Theology, I would like to teach on a college level someday.

    I may run a boat part time, or do some yacht deliveries and what not from time to time.
    But at the moment I feel a "higher" calling. ;)

    I'll always be a boat captain at heart, but before the wifey and I have rug rats I wanna do some serious studying ;)

    I unloaded them.

    but I have several Forzas if anyone needs them.
    I'm keeping my 1:18 and hardback books.


    I'm afraid to ask what a booker is ;)

    Booker's Bourbon......it's a Single Barrel Jim Beam product.

    134 Proof.

    Legend has it Booker Noe's wife blew the oven door off, making fruitcake, after she mistook it for normal Jim Beam.......anyway.........Best of luck!

    Been there, done that. Hope you find an exciting future in your field of choice. Listen to your heart & go from there.
    Cutting across a sound at sunrise on water smooth as glass when the cold nibbles at your eyelids & the golden salt marsh is sweet & fresh in your head is the start of a good day...
    Best wishes, Karen

    Perry, don't think of it as leaving, just think of it as a sort of vacation or hiatus...! i'd hate to think that you'll no longer be a member... Lots of here don't own Ferraris, you know that... i hope you'll visit as often as you can...
