Buy Me A Ferrari

In a recent article, I touched on the fact that I have a few ideas that need to be developed. I have most of the domains for ideas that I have, here are some of the ideas along with the domain name. If you are interested in domain names I’m unlikely to get round to doing all of these so I can sell any of them at a suitable price.

If you are interested, please drop me an email.

Here’s the ideas along with the domain names:

YourAppleTV.com

Possibly thinking about having a blog dedicated to the Apple TV or have some sort of community website or gallery where people can show and talk about their Apple TV setups. I may be more likely to sell this as it is pretty low priority in terms of what I have planned.

CarSnap.co.uk

I’m thinking or maybe having either a gallery website where car owners can upload photos of their cars, or, a forum where people can discuss motoring related topics and post photographs of their cars.

911Owner.co.uk

Might have some sort of club and/or message boards where Porsche owners and enthusiasts can talk about their cars or just Porsches in general.

AuctionForum.info

I did intend to have a forum set up that had auctions on. I am now more likely to sell this rather than actually develop it although you never know.

TopWords.co.uk

I have absolutely no idea what I was going to stick on this one, purchased it a while back now and originally though of something along the lines of Million Dollar Homepage but instead of pixels have words. However, I believe this sort of idea is already out and about on the internet.

WiiBoom.com

Again, thinking about maybe having a blog that discusses the Nintendo Wii and games that are being released for the Wii. However, I don’t have a Wii at the moment and don’t see myself buying one in the near future. If I was to start I’d just be talking about new releases instead of actually reviewing games. Maybe someone else could give me a hand with this one? Write some content?

DavidDunn.name

I just registered this as it’s my name and it’s a .name - no idea what I’ll do with it but maybe I’ll stick a portfolio on there or something in the near future.

AboutGardening.info

Was going to have a website discussing all aspects of gardening but not really on the top of my interests list. Would be willing to sell this if anyone is interested.

ComperBlog.co.uk

This one will be a blog about entering competitions both online and offline. This is something I have been interested in for some time now and would be good to post about competitions that people can enter alongside tips for entering competitions.

ComperForum.co.uk

This is designed to go alongside Comper Blog, where people can talk about competitions, entering competitions, new competitions etc.

NewcastleLad.com and .co.uk

This is going to be a blog about my local area; Newcastle. Will talk about goings on and up and coming events in the city of Newcastle.

There are a few additional domains that I am buying etc. at the moment but these will be things that I am just starting to think about - hence why I haven’t blogged about them. The above ideas are very much that - ideas! I’ll never do all of these at once and never intend to - one at a time works best for me.

If you are interested in purchasing any of the above domains, I may be interested in selling - drop me an email and we can discuss it.

Are there any ideas you’d like me to get started on straight away? Please leave a comment.

Would you like to follow these ideas more closely when I blog about them here? Follow my RSS feed to keep up-to-date.

When checking out the Google Toolbar I discovered that this domain name (buymeaferrari.co.uk) has a Google Pagerank of PR2. As I had registered this from a registrar not from someone off a message board, I was interested in how it accrued PR2.

This led me to google buymeaferrari.co.uk which led to a whole range of interesting stuff.

The Sun Newspaper

Turns out, that in September 2005, this domain name was featured in The Sun, you can read the article here. Turns out the guy who had this domain had a website that asked members of the public to donate money to buy him a Ferrari. Not a bad idea when you think it made him £212.12 - not entirely sure on the time frame for that though.

Autoblog

Autoblog also wrote an article about the site, however, they weren’t as nice as The Sun were. Really made me chuckle. Read the article here.

Club Scuderia

On the Club Scuderia message boards, there was also this discussion on the subject and a debate about how the guy planned to pay for insurance/fuel etc.

Lexus Owners Club

Another message board in on the discussion was that of Lexus Owners Club. They were along the same lines as the rest, basically having a go at the guy for the website. However, I think that T7RY B hit the nail on the head, he may be regarded as a fruit cake, but he still made some cash with it!

Day of Defeat Forums

Dear… the guy who had buymeaferrari.co.uk definitely did create a bit of a stir! Here’s another message board talking about it.

And the rest…

As there seems to be loads, here’s a few more following the same lines:

• Fastdrive Born To Ride Forum
• ScoobyNet
• Get A Freelancer <– Someone wants a clone of it
• Tyresmoke
• Neowin
• Pistonheads
• SpikedHumor

So, I am very surprised at the history that I didn’t even know existed!! Suppose it’s good to have some backlinks before I even start.

Right… where will I put the donate button hehe!
