" i waved but that fella was looking at me like i had some disease. "

LMAO

classic I dunno. I sometimes wonder what percentage of FTO drivers are registered in here? maybe 10% maybe less?

It's very odd. It doesn't seem like the kind of car you could go to the trouble of buying without realising it was unusual to have one.

Well Wildhound, I was surprised that this "community" existed. I was put in touch by a friend who knows a few members through his RX7.
With all I know now though, I realise how special the FTO and can see your point 100%. It's a brilliant site with a great bunch of members on here.

lets all be serious

a simple google search for FTO in ireland for example would turn out in a membership on this forum .
Is the FTO so common nawadays that people seem not so passionate about their cars? is internet such a heavy tool ?

anyway i'm glad to be a part of this & i'm deffinately a PROUD owner of the FTO

Good point Seb. I think broad band in this country is very low by European standards. I bet alot of FTO owners don't surf the web. Pity. This is a wealth of information for any FTO owner.

I found this forum before buying my FTO (as a couple of the new members did as well).. I was very surprised to subsequently find out that I had actually been working in the same company as one of the long time members..

After getting my car - I promptly flyered a couple of ftos around town..

I have to say without this site and the people on here - I don't think I'd still have my FTO today - I would have been broke and/or stuck.

It's great to see new members taking an active part - and in particular the "spotted2 section has seen something of a boost lately..

Top class guys!
