Any FERRARI VIP reads Fchat ?

Now that I think of it. I tripple dog dare you to log in and chat with us.

 

Cool...


Ernie, LMAO...!

 

While I inferred what the word meant in the above post, here is a definition of multitudinous....I did the work to look it up & figued I would share it with you guys


mul·ti·tu·di·nous
adjective

1. very numerous: very great in number

2. full of variety: with many parts, great in number, or existing in many varieties

3. crowded: crowded with people ( archaic )

[Early 17th century. Formed from Latin multitudin- , the stem of multitudo (see multitude).]

Of course I'm just fooling around- my limited vocabulary is probably why I don't yet have a ferrari

 

LOL, Andrew... Slow day, today...?

 

Ha! It was up until after I hit send on that last post- just taking a quick break again now, so of course back on F-chat!

 

I do. I am on the board of the Club Ferrari France.

 

Where else is there to go...?

 

From the feedback they are developing FerrariWax. You will only be able to purchase at authorized dealers and if you use any other kind of wax on your Ferrari, you will instantly void your warranty! There will be numerous polls and discussions on Ferrarichat about whether or not FerrariWax is better than non-factory waxes and worth paying $1000 per container for.



Alex...going straight to Ferrari blacklist before I even have one!

 

Never has there been a more compelling picture of Ferrari's downslide in terms of exterior design than that one. Nice job Mark.

The two Lambos at the bottom so outshine the rest of that horrendous lineup, it's amazing. The 360 CS's body is the lone borderline exception for me thanks to the aero package, and it goes down much easier after driving one of those amazing cars. But it's not nearly enough.

Didn't like the 360 the first day it appeared, don't like it now. Looks like a frog, which is a comment that used to be owned solely by the 911, lol.

The funny part is that save for the Enzo, which is polarizing (you either love it or hate it) the 360 is the BEST design in the lineup currently. Sad.

To clarify, I'm talking about their body designs only. The performance arena is not a problem as all of the F-cars provide enough for 99% of their market.

 

FNA folks reading this site? maybe for the humor, they never really listen to what we say. I think that there are a good portion of pundits here, many lurkers and wannabes, sprinkled with enthusiasts. Ferrari in general has never really been one to listen too much to their market, they know, "build it and they will buy"

FNA, unlike mass market cars that draw huge volume like bmw, ferrari has a clientelle that follow the marque and have basically three choices: exotic, gt, and luxury (read: 360, 575, Scag). There are TONS of things I would like to see Ferrari do, but the attitude as of late has been "buy it if you want it, make no suggestions, and if you don't like it go buy a (insert marque)."

FNA is in general: cold, not so helpful, and so stuck in F1 self-love. To the side: when I heard that Colnago was going to make the CF1 Ferrari bike, I called New Jersey and got a rude Italian woman on the other end at FNA HQ. I called the Beverly Hills shop to see there, and the woman there was even WORSE, damn! Where is Phillipe? Ok, I bought a brand spanking new 550, and I am looking to buy a bike that is roughly $15k (at that time), and in a limited production run, exclusive and at that time not avail to the public. So umm, taste, exclusive, and under the Ferrari badge and not available at high end bike shops, and a few people in the world knew they even existed. Yet I was treated rudely rather than given a 'sorry' response. Great p.r. guys, you are a real inspiration to the team.

I have much better luck buying Dior originals, and dropping 5 digits on a purebred puppy with no papers than swallowing the bitter pill that is the Ferrari buying experience. When my partner and I got the F40, it was a walk in the door and I'll take it, my 550 was the same way. When I go back for service they are nice when they check the registration and see it is mine, then they treat me nicely. If I decide to buy a car again, it will NOT be from a factory dealer until they go to charm school.

I am beginning to side with Leno, but after the 575, and 360 are retired, I will look into Ferrari again, right now, I am disappointed in the current offerings, appalled at the sales staff and still in love with the marque.

 

This all reminds me of an article by Jeremy Clarkson right around the time of Ferrari's 50th Anniversary. He spoke about the time he bought a brand new 355 GTS from an authorized dealer in England. His description of the F-car purchasing process was very funny but it also showed a lot of the Ferrari arrogance. He even shows a picture of himself kneeling at the desk of the sales rep. to sign the paperwork. That's right. He was kneeling. You know why? Because that particular Ferrari distributor doesn't provide seats for the customer. You have to kneel as if paying homage. Maybe some of the UK guys can verify this.

I still have the article too.
