Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Collection of cars snapped up by John Collins

[John Ashburne (jashburne]

They needed to hire some Hollywood accountants to keep the league at bay. 

Team owner:  "We need our books to show a loss of no more than X million pounds."

Hollywood Accountants:  "We can do that. What do you want the number to be?"

Talacrest purchased this package from Fawaz Al-Hasawi, the Kuwaiti owner of the British football club Nottingham Forest.  And if you're wondering why it went on sale:

I just glanced over the two links and didn't see anything.  Does anyone know who the original owner was?   They seem to be making sure you know it's Collins who bought them but nothing about the seller or probably the family of the seller.... or the barrister representing the government agency that seized them...  or fill in your options here_________

Reminds me of the Jim Glickenhaus philosophy:  "Not driving your Ferrari is like not making love to your supermodel girlfriend so that her next boyfriend can enjoy her more" or words to that effect.

Jay Leno says "I drive my cars until they are 66 point cars, restore them to 100 point cars and then drive them some more"

My sentiments exactly. Let's hope the next owners do drive them, bring them to cars and coffee events and get the full enjoyment these cars were meant to deliver.

Just my 2 cents.
