Entrecard Competition Winner
Written by
David Dunn on February 1, 2008 – 11:00 pm - 1,190 views First of all, just a little note to say that I apologise for the lack of posts on this blog but I have had a few things that have made me busier than I’d first thought they would.
Yesterday, I passed my driving test first time with only 4 minor faults - so I’m still pretty damn happy 
Anyways, let’s get onto the Entrecard competition that ended yesterday - all in all there has been a total of 67 entries and I am now going to use random.org to give me a winner out of the 67 entries.
And the winning number it gave me back can be seen in the following screenshot:
The winner is… number 12 - ShadowKnight.
ShadowKnight, your Entrecard credits are being sent right now to the email address you used to post your comments.
Thank you very much to all of you who entered this competition - all entries, comments, blog posts etc. are all very much appreciated - keep your eyes on FerrariDave and Buy Me A Ferrari for another competition within the next few days.
Thanks again!

FerrariDave is Changing!
Written byDavid Dunn on January 14, 2008 – 11:33 am - 1,129 views After running FerrariDave since 11th November 2007, I have decided that some stuff needs to change. Nothing too drastic so don’t worry.
Rather than FerrariDave being a personal blog, I am going to start another more personal blog with a domain name more personal to myself. This website will not only have a blog but will talk about stuff I am working on and other personal stuff - basically it will be more of a website than just a blog.
What will happen to FerrariDave?
FerrariDave is going to become more focused on motoring/automotive topics. Anything related to the motoring industry, driving, traffic law, Formula 1, and the likewise will be posted on ferraridave.com.
What else have I got planned?
Over the not-so-distant future, I plan to release the following sites:
- Personal website
- A joke site
- A cool idea for my local area that I don’t really wish to go into more detail about until I develop it a bit more..
- Local news blog
- Money making blog
That’s about all I have in mind at the moment. Obviously some of the ideas are going to be developed a bit more quickly than the others and some I have even started work on already.
More information about each project will be posted on my personal website, rather than on this ‘motoring’ site 
Entrecard competiton
The Entrecard competition is still running and I will probably keep on running Entrecard contests once this one is over. Which reminds me, I need to find out how I stand with regards to Entrecard once I have more websites. Anyone have any ideas?
So hopefully the readers that I have at the moment will continue to read FerrariDave. If you aren’t interested in motoring, then I am sorry, but hopefully you will continue to follow my projects and hopefully I’ll develop something else you are interested in 
Thanks for reading and wish me luck with my projects, please, I might need it!

Written byDavid Dunn on January 2, 2008 – 10:18 am - 438 views I use Entrecard on pretty much a daily basis now, it’s great to see what’s new on there and see the new posts on the blogs I am dropping my card onto.
I got chatting to one of the members of Entrecard the other day and I liked the design of his card. I told him this and said that I must get one done for FerrariDave.
He told me that he designed his himself and I cheekily asked if he could do one for my blog :-D!
Out of kindness he then went on to design me two new designs that I could use as my Entrecard. Some of his stuff is really cool and well designed, just like my new Entrecards, please give his website a visit.
Thanks Mark!

Blog Stats for December 2007

Win 500 Entrecard Credits
Written byDavid Dunn on December 31, 2007 – 1:48 am - 1,430 views I thought it was about time that I posted some sort of competition on FerrariDave.
As there is a large amount of people now actively using Entrecard and reaping the benefits of having the widget on their blog, I have decided to give away 500 Entrecard credits to one lucky winner.
The prize draw is pretty simple and the rules are as follows:
- Post a comment in this post saying you’re in (1 entry)
- Post a comment on any of my other posts (1 entry per comment)
- Post about this contest in your blog (5 entries)
I will then pick one entry at random on the closing date (31.01.08). The winner will be announced on FerrariDave. Good Luck!
