I’m a relatively new member to PH.com and these forums, so I guess I should start by saying “Hello”.

I, like the rest of you guys & girls (Best to keep it politically correct these days) am passionate about cars, all types of cars. But, none more so than the ones wearing the prancing horse. I love everything about Ferraris, the looks, the sound, the speed, the history. Everything !!!

Although I’m not in a position to own one, it doesn’t stop me dreaming of the day I actually pick one up. I know this sounds crazy, but I’ve even been know to do a 40 mile round trip on more than one occasion to the Ferrari dealership in Wilmslow just to stand and stare in the window – people think I’m mad. I’d say I was obsessed.

I’m lucky enough to live in a posh area of Cheshire, and there are plenty of Ferraris knocking around this area of the woods. Do any of them belong to you? I’ve seen F335’s, 360’s, one 550, and last but by no means least was one F40. (nearly crashed my own car watching this go by).

Anyway, there is a point to all this rambling on. I am considering joining the FOC, and I’d like to know a little bit more about it. What can I expect as a none Ferrari owning member etc? Any info would be greatly appreciated.

I also want to do one of those Ferrari driving days, but seeing as there are so many, I was wondering which one was best? (i.e. most time behind the wheel, decent selection of cars etc.)

That’s all folks!!!!

Thanks for your replies and your very very generous offers. You never know, one day I might suprise you and take you up on them

Kevin:
Sounds like the "Prancing Horse Register" is the sort of thing I'm after, and will look into joining asap. Do you know if any of their Track Days are held at Oulton Park ?

Manu:
Wilmslow is indeed "Supercar Heaven". A couple of months ago I was driving through the town centre, past one of the really trendy pubs. Not 1, not 2, but 3 Diablos were indicating to pull out onto the main road. Being the kind, caring person I am I let them out. Each of the drivers obliged by lighting up the rears, covering me in a cloud of brunt rubber - Excellent
