No idea. There was a post from Robbo from Penarth saying that there were some good topics but the usual suspects just jumped in and turned them into drivel. Seems to have fired a few of them up.

I stil llike it but tend to look at the general & super Ferrari sections more than the Uk section

Edited to add have a look at this thread. Quite impressive yet very sad at the same time http://ferrarichat.com/forum/showthread.php?t=36695

each to their own I spose but it does seem to have descended into chaos. The British car bbs went the same way last year.

I posted about vmax 2 incase any of the elise/esprit boys fancied it & they all started slagging me off so I didnt bother again.

Their loss mate. Dont worry about it. The BCBBS is very cliquey. I'm not surprised none of them were up for VMAX as they are virtually all Elise owners which fantastic as they are arent exactly VMAX machines.

Interesting to see how the threads on F-chat develop

yeah spose so, at the time I had been there quite a while as I used to have a 111s. I only asked them to be polite.

Dunno really, been on both Fchat and PH for around a year or so and I much prefer PH!
Much more sensible and grown up discussions!
Fchat always seems a bit like the bullies and the big kids ruining the playground for everyone else!

Still, I will keep posting on both sites of course!

I've only just started to use this resource and thought WTF myself!!!

I find it quite amusing........shame cos if something happens to this resource it will be very bad cos there's just so much information on there and in the few days I've used it, I've found out more than the 3 weeks searching the net.

ETA: Maybe they should go to this link and smile a little.......

Oh, I dunno... as an Elise owner (and on BCBBS) I'd have been up for the Vmax day. Would have been a tough call between bringing the Elise and the 500E though.

T'is a shame with FChat. There are about a dozen guys who take over every thread and just jokingly insult eachother.

Any new users are told to show a pic of them with their car otherwise they're ignored... its a real shame.

Thankfully Ted's got his head screwed on and won't let PH go that way

to Ted and his mods

PH used to be a bit like that for a while. Not throughout the whole site, but it was there.

you're right, and I reckon it won't get any better over there until those individuals move on

Unfortunately Alan started the flame war and got a dose of his own in return.

He now resides in the sin bin although he doesn't seem to want to speak to me.

Ted,
a thankless task is yours and mine to a much lesser degree on fchat.

Dear Comrade Toe-knee-hopskins M8

Sorry couldnt help it I remember when 512 Tea Arse first went on Fchat, he was absolutely jumped on for being a troll but now he is one of the establishment.

Most of the threads are amusing but I must admit that I dont tend to post much for fear of being slated for not being an owner.

Great site though. Some of the American guys are mad like Rick who couldnt decide what colour 360 to have so bought 2!

Glad Allanlambo has been binned. Fchat put up with his idiotic comments for too long

I love 512 Tea Arse as he is very in a very serious world and I think he spends all day working out what to add to his salutory greetings and farewells.

The UK humour is by far the funnier for us poor Aussies to laugh with as it is pretty much the same self-depricating humour which is totally misunderstood by most Yanks .

The Americans on this forum have been well educated and are much more pleasant than the squabling that happens on Fchat....a shame really because there is so much good technical information that makes owning the Horse so much more sane in financial terms.

Also I think the moderators on Fchat cop a flogging whereas here they are protected for the sensible attitude they take...mostly
