Jamiroquai AKA Jay Kay Buys a Green LaFerrari

[benters]

perhaps its to match the R44 he has ?

[testosterone]

And to think i once employed this person as pizza delivery driver. Someone who had no education, could not read or write music and never had any money. Where did i go wrong ?

You didn't go wrong anywhere, he just exploded and has obviously invested very wisely. Long may it last; I live relatively local to him and always wonder when i'm going to get a view of his 'next big thing'.

looks like green is the way to go

It makes red look boring.

Indeed. The first LaFerrari that Ive actually liked.

Here he is arriving at Goodwood yesterday. Personally didn't like the colour at all in the flesh - very flat colour and will look terrible in a few years. Each to their own though, and I doubt he cares one bit what I think. Whatever you think of him, he has great taste in cars and still looks cool enough to be seen driving them!

He said in his Goodwood interview that its Italian flag green with the red of the flag coming from the lights and the white... he didnt mention.

I agree with the OP in that it will be the only Green La Ferrari and a such will be more desirable/valuable than a red car as the decades roll on.

nice clip that. i like the geezer, lived the dream and mad on cars, good luck to him

[Mr Trophy]

Daft question, can you just order one of these or do you need to be "invited" to buy one? Also, how much?

Thanks,

Generally he comes across as a complete and utter tit; not too bad in the interview though.

I've always wondered how he has managed to amass so much money; yes he's been in the music industry for a while however he tends to come and go sporadically, he played at Guilfest last year, hardly the last word in top UK festivals so it wouldn't have been a mega bucks appearance fee, guess he has other interests elsewhere?

You probably want to do some more research on him. His band has sold over 40 million albums.

I hate his music, but the guy is a bona fide petrolhead

I don't think he bothers with gigs on this 'little island' (UK) much nowadays. But there's a whole world out there where he's arguably even more popular - so that's where he performs.

Very very much "invited" to buy one. No waiting lists as such. Ferrari are unique in this respect with a client list of preferred buyers for the limited edition stuff.

Buy one and flip it and you can expect to be removed from the inner circle forthwith.

Reserved for the very best customers they have , those who have pretty much bought every new

I know PHers always love friend-of-friend stories... But one knows a friend of a friend, and JK is still fairly big in Asia (e.g. Japan). Relatively raking it in, hence the green LF. Has a rep for being temperamental, but is definitely a car whale and dealers love him.

It will look amazing, when he gets it, for now I changed my Laferrari green on Forza5,






on the Nuburgring Nordschleife.

Your one with green roof looks much better than JKs

I'd say owning close to 100 cars classifies him as a petrolhead!

It was great to see a different colour to everyone else's good luck to him i loved the carbon extra parts on the scuttle panel and the black section on the lower front spoiler it was parked next to JM's LaF and made his look odd
