Ferrari Mailing List: Re: RM Auctions Tops $125 Million in Sales, Ferrari 275 GTB Sells for $27.5 Million

[Therese Fitzgerald (ladylusso]

Many years ago at Morosso, I was not shy to ask this driver if he needed a passenger. He had the top down and I had my helmet with me. Eddie was one of the nicest people I ever knew. I used to always bring Gatorade to the track for him. It became tradition at the Cavallino events. I was invited to his mechanics wedding (Junior) and sat with Eddie during the ceremony. I miss him! His Christmas card had a pic of him w the car and said something like This year I'll be even faster because I'll be another year older. He was in his 80's at the time. What a great attitude! "Who let the dogs out??" He loved to dance to that song and sing it too. : )

Don't forget the rich are different.  Once you get above a certain level, you can afford real boats, planes, real estate, etc...  These are just cars after all. 

 

And careful with the sportcoat/ascot comments Clyde, I flew into EWR yesterday in first, I was the only guy in a suit and tie.  Some of us are old school but still know how to drive...

Not impressive on the surface, but it seems money and driving passion are usually mutually exclusive, so it's a bit refreshing to see these cars used the way we would want too.

There's nothing impressive about a billionaire risking millions; no more impressive than a small boy risking a dollar instead of a penny when he can afford to lose either amount.

Just for the record cLyDe 

Lawrence Stroll, the guy that bought the car, is one of those guys that drives the tires off of his cars.  

I've personally seen him racing in the classic challenge races put his GTO full on sideways with smoke (literally) coming off the tires - more than once - pushing hard for nothing more than a plastic trophy.

You'd probably like him too - really nice guy that LOVES his cars, spends real money making and keeping them perfect, and then drives them like he stole them.  Not sure he even owns an ascot - heck, I'm not even sure what an ascot is.

It has found a good home.

It's more stupid people 

With more stupid money

Same shit happened when Enzo died 

My god it's just a car

But hey it is what it is!

Most if not all of these guys who buy the cars are pricks anyway who run around with blazers and ascots 

You see them in the Formula 1 paddock club acting like they know what the are seeing

Much like a kid opening a door while two people are making out!

The kid knows something is going on he just doesn't know what!

Gotta go fly 

If I ever hit the lottery I would buy the cars from those jerks and drive the wheels off them with my friends off this list at a race track 

Because that's where they be long not in some garage catching dusk

These cars have soul !
