Car Forum / Ferrari Cars / March 2004Rogues Gallery (all regular posters please read!)
I'm sure we've all wondered from time to time just who the hel(l) we've been talking to in this group over the years. No? Ok, well I certainly have, so I'm intending to put up a 'who's who' of a.a.f on my website. The format will be simple and if you want to be 'in' then send a picture of yourself (if you want to!) and provide what ever of the following details that you want to be included. If you want to leave out your real name - fine. If you want to make your location as vague as 'USA'- fine. Just include what you want published and email it to me. Each page will show: Your screen name(s) (the only really mandatory inclusion! all the rest is up to you) A picture of you (or a picture of your choice... or any pictures - just send them!) Your real name Your location(ish) Your marriage/family situation A URL to your own website (if you have one!) Then answer as many or as few of the following questions. The idea is to get some sort of impression of the person behind the name. You're a poster in a.a.f - do you actually own a Ferrari or are you just here for the insults? What do you do to scratch out a living? Who would play you in a movie? What is your favourite sport? Which team/player do you follow? What and where is your favourite Hotel? What and where is your favourite restaurant or bar? Name a few of your favourite books? Name a few of your favourite films? What music do you listen to? Heaven is...? Hell is...? Name four people (dead or alive) that you would like to invite to a dinner party. If you had to get stranded in one place for the rest of your life (town, city, tropical island, whatever) where would it be? Who would you take with you? If you there was one car or bike that you could drive just once, what would it be? What is your secret vice? What irritates you most about people? Do you know what love is? Is the glass half full, or half empty? What's in the glass? What's the one thing you never leave home without? and finally, complete the following sentence: "Arguing in newsgroups is like..."

Well, if you *are* sticking around, go to my site and check out the new a.a.f. directory.

I will do it. I've already advised my local Ferrari mechanic/re-seller of which Ferrari I want and when. I've set goals for myself, and a Ferrari will still be a reward if I hit them. So, if no one is terribly upset by a Viper "dude" in your midst, I'll keep following the "action" here. Plus, I plan on "crashing" (so to speak) the Viper among all you Ferrari owners at Tiger's wedding. (The invitation is over here.....uh.....must have misplaced it) Regards, Larry Is there a template on your website? > Is there a template on your website? Nope - sorry, but you can always just download one of the existing pages, edit it to include your comments and mail it to me. Alternatively, just use the last e-mail I posted and I'll be happy to cut and paste your responses.

The idea is to get > some sort of impression of the person behind the name. > > You're a poster in a.a.f - do you actually own a Ferrari or are you just > here for the insults? I do not own a Ferrari. I'm a traitor. I own a Viper, so I guess I'm here for the insults. However, my local Ferrari mechanic is keeping an eye out for a Ferrari for me. Probable ETA is two years. First choice- F355 Spyder Second choice 360 Spyder in the grigio color (no paddle shifters). Probable Ferrari considering budget: Early 90s Testarossa, a good 328, or maybe a Mondial. But I've been saying that for a long time and haven't pulled the trigger. I'll probably end up a "wannabe". Still, being a wannabe in a Viper ain't all bad. : - ) > What do you do to scratch out a living? 27 years of real estate trial lawyering. Now hawking the stuff commercially. Want to buy a building? Who would play you in a movie? Me. I was a child actor in real life. I could use the paycheck. > What is your favourite sport? For participation, running. I've completed over 12 marathons and two ultramarathons. Currently, however, I consider long distance to be from the refrigerator to the couch. Did 5 miles in the mud and rain this morning. For viewing - Grand Prix of Monaco. I'd like to do that there someday. What's the name of that hotel with the overpass the cars run under? I want to stay there. > Which team/player do you follow? No one seriously. > What and where is your favourite Hotel? Locally, Monterey Plaza in Monterey, California USA. International- Canadian Pacific Hotel Vancouver overlooking the water in Vancouver, Canada. > What and where is your favourite restaurant or bar? Empress Inn main dining room, Victoria, Canada. Five Sails restaurant, Vancouver. Happy Hound greasy burger pit stop, San Jose, CA. USA > Name a few of your favourite books? White Noise - DeLillo / Clash of Civilizations - Huntington / House or Soul of the New Machine - Tracy Kidder / Slaughterhouse Five - Vonnegut / "V" Thomas Pynchon / Long Dark Tea Time of the Soul - Adams / All Spencer and Hawk books / How to gain Control of your Time and Your Life - Lakein / A Man in Full - Wolfe / The Bible - various / Batman comic books, original series > Name a few of your favourite films? 2001 A Space Odyssey A Man for All Seasons The Birds The Prize ( I was in those two) Bridges of Madison County Ronin LeMans Every spaghetti western with Eastwood, and most Bronson junk. > What music do you listen to? In the Viper or on motorcycles - none. Otherwise - The Stones Kid Rock Sting The Four Seasons Springsteen pretty much anything except - techno - rap - old style country- religious. > Heaven is...? Driving a convertible sports car down a twisty road, with my wife next to me on a perfect weather day, headed to a nice hotel overlooking the water, with dinner reservations and a nice room on the water with a balconey waiting --- or the feeling when your kids are toddlers and fall asleep in your arms. > Hell is...? watching anyone you know and love die from a debilitating disease. > Name four people (dead or alive) that you would like to invite to a dinner > party. Winston Churchill, Osama Bin Laden, Margaret Thatcher and Goldy Meier. I wouldn't expect Osama to be around for dessert. > If you had to get stranded in one place for the rest of your life (town, > city, tropical island, whatever) where would it be? Probably exactly where I live now. If not, then on Pebble Beach in Carmel, California USA. If not that, then on the water in Victoria, Canada. Or Monaco. Or Maui, Hawaii, on the water. Since I only speak English and French, I'd like it to be somewhere I could converse. > Who would you take with you? Depends on how many I could take. If one person, my wife. Next, my family and friends. > If you there was one car or bike that you could drive just once, what would > it be? Zonda C12, or a Porsche Carrera GT, or an Enzo. Geez, there's so many. I've ridden or owned most of the motorcycles I'd ever be interested in riding. Lucky there. > What is your secret vice? My vices aren't secret. > What irritates you most about people? Willingness to commit time, money, and effort to destroy other human beings. > Do you know what love is? Ask my wife. If she says I do, then I do. Otherwise, I haven't got a clue. > Is the glass half full, or half empty? Half full, and there are more glasses to fill. > What's in the glass? Depends on the situation. End of a marathon? Water. Dinner on the water? Grey Goose Martini or a California or French wine. 2 a.m. push to a deadline? Coffee and lots of it. > What's the one thing you never leave home without? Wallet. > and finally, complete the following sentence: > "Arguing in newsgroups is like..." most of the dumber things I do and then regret having done.

Who said they had to be decent? Let it hang! We'll see if Paul has the balls to publish it (he told me once in a private conversation that he always wished he was really Larry Flynt).

I actually meant decent as in I-don't-look-all-bizarre-in-them. Seems the few pics of myself that are on disc are all weird angles or they're long distance shots. I'd prefer to send a pic that at least looks like me. -Matt- :::ready for his closeup::: matt borland wrote: > I actually meant decent as in I-don't-look-all-bizarre-in-them. > Seems the few pics of myself that are on disc are all weird > angles or they're long distance shots.
