A refreshing lack of angry / negative comments on this thread - very pleasing to see.

Great photo - both location & subject matter.

Fair play to the chap for actually using them too!

I'm finding it pretty hard not to be envious. That must have been a pretty decent trip away with his pals. Fair play to the guy.

Nice collection, but I don't think I would have them all the same colour.

Saw an F50 on the M6 last Wednesday eve, could it be this one embarking / returning from this epic trip?
No. That F50 would have been in Manchester that day along with various other supercars with the SupercarDriver group promoting the Need for Speed film. A shame you didn't see the F40, Aventador or P1 biggrin

smile Good man! He parked the 288GTO in the shade.
It's the only one I was interested in seeing. Should have been placed across the front of all the munters. biggrin
Indeed.

288GTO is the only modern Ferrari since the Daytona that I've any real interest in.

As a petrolhead, this story should really get me rocking.........but all I really see is a hugely expensive show of a staggering lack of imagination

1st Ferrari 'megacar' - tick, in red - tick
2nd Ferrari 'megacar' - tick, in red - tick
3rd Ferrari 'megacar' - tick, in red - tick
Yawn...........

If I had that kind of money to splash on a collection, I'd be after cars as different from each other as possible. Group B Rally cars, 60's Le Mans cars, Porsche, Macca, some tasty saloons etc etc

This just looks kinda samey and dull.

In other words you'd do the same as this chappie. wink

And you'd probably dig out some of the Ferraris when going to collect another Ferrari because it would be a great bit of fun and more enjoyable than flying down.

You do realise that this is just a amall part of his collection don't you?

And if you are going to Maranello to pick up the latest super Ferrari then why not take one of all of its predecessors?

You'd look a bit of a tool turning up there in a 911.

I understand that this is just part of the man's collection. But I quite understand and sympathise with what you're saying. I expect that this line-up probably has an asinine nick-name amongst collectors "the full set" or something like that. It leaves me cold.

In the art world a good art collection reflects the taste, knowledge, understanding and experience of the art collector. People strive to do more than just buy a bunch of Warhols, or Picassos, or Dead Sharks.

He is just copying me from when I went to go and pick up my Impreza P1. Went to dealer in my V2 STI and my Dad drove it back.

The sounds like bks to me, the guy likes his fezza's and has an awesome collection of them and he is using them. I certainly cant think of a more apt venue to take them all to than to pick up their latest incantation. Its also the sort of PR that ferrari love and will probably give him access to rarer more exclusive lists in the future

and i dont even really like them smile except the 288
