  we're going to be doing with the Ferrari marketplace, uh, you know,

  trying to get this, you know, up and running, you know, I have big plans.
• 1:04
  Hopefully, uh, going forward here, we can make it all come to fruition,
• 1:07
  but you know, plan on doing here is with the marketplace website itself.
• 1:12
  As you can see, you know, we handle some private client sales and whatnot.
• 1:16
  Uh, but what I'm wanting to do is expanding it.
• 1:18
  On the site itself.
• 1:20
  But one, I want to start, I want to start doing these podcasts, uh,
• 1:24
  get out there with these podcasts.

  I want to, you know, do interviews, talk to people that are in the industry,
• 1:28
  people that work in the dealers, you know, drivers, racers, you know, anyone
• 1:32
  who's got some affiliation or, you know, just lives and breathes Ferrari.
• 1:36
  You know, so as anyone out there listening, if you want to, uh, chit chat

• 1:48
  So, but the other step I want to do is also I'm going to start doing
• 1:51
  some YouTube videos also get on that train and start doing some things.
• 1:55
  I'm going to get started right off the bat, uh, next week.
• 1:59
  I am headed down to Florida to go to the Cavalino Classic that starts next week.
• 2:03
  Uh, I'm not sure how many of you are familiar with that.
• 2:05
  I'm sure many of you are, but that's going to be an outstanding event.
• 2:09
  Uh, they put on a phenomenal, phenomenal, phenomenal event
• 2:12
  down there for this thing.
• 2:13

• 2:16
  something special planned on the 22nd in regards to Now, I don't
• 2:20
  know if they're going to have 75 Not one for every year or what?
• 2:25
  I don't know but they're supposed to have like 75 Ferraris lined up And I'm assuming

  it's gonna be you know one from every year one from the genre or whatnot But
• 2:33
  I mean there's gonna be a collection of some absolutely gorgeous cars down there
• 2:39

• 2:47
  heard of you know Go on their website, but the revs Institute This is a phenomenal
• 2:51
  facility down in Naples, Florida.
• 2:53
  Uh, they have, I think, not, if not one of the largest, or the largest, collection
• 2:58
  of auto memorabilia in regards to, um, I guess you would say, literature,
• 3:04
  uh, history, uh, documentation.
• 3:07
  Uh, they're very, very high on keeping all that stuff intact and
• 3:11
  trying to keep it in one place.
• 3:13
  And, you know, actually.
• 3:14
  As long as you set a time, you actually, people are allowed to come down, utilize
• 3:18
  it for a project, what have you, go through it, you know, obviously depending
• 3:21
  on the age and what not, you know, taking good care with your hands and you don't
• 3:24
  want to get oily stuff in it, wearing gloves and what have you, but, um,
• 3:27
  those guys down there are phenomenal, so actually I'm going to be down there on
• 3:31
  Thursday, my first day, I'm just going to fly in and shoot right over to the
• 3:34
  revs and do a little walkthrough, first time I've ever been there, but, You know
• 3:37
  checking things out on their website.
• 3:39
  It looks like it's gonna be phenomenal I got some awesome awesome cars there
• 3:43
  and these guys do some fabulous stuff down there So I'm hoping to talk with a
• 3:48
  few of those guys there also and do that So but that's kind of what I'm trying
• 3:53
  to get going here with the website.
• 3:54
  I kind of want to be all encompassing You know, uh, you know, everything Ferrari.
• 3:58
  I know there's a bunch out there, but I mean, I, I kind of want to make it a
• 4:02
  little more personable, you know, you know, I want everyone to kind of be
• 4:04
  able to feel us, you know, there's a lot of things we could do, you know, shoot
• 4:07
  me your ideas, you have some thoughts, whatnot, let me know, um, you know,
• 4:11
  test them out and see what we can do.
• 4:13
  You know, I just, all of us out there are very passionate about the brand and,
• 4:16
  you know, always just want to kind of be part of it somehow, some way, you know,
• 4:20
  not many of us are fortunate enough to be in a tax bracket where we can afford it.
• 4:24
  They have a Ferrari, you know, let alone some people out
• 4:27
  there that got multiple ones.
• 4:28
  So, you know, us people that are in that boat, Hey, this is the
• 4:32
  way we can be part of the Ferrari family, I guess, just so to speak.
• 4:35
  So, but anyway, uh, I guess what I want to get into, I guess, in this
• 4:39
  first episode to, uh, break the ice, whatever, break the champagne bottle
• 4:43
  against the ship and get going with this.
• 4:45
  Uh, I was the big thing, you know, this is Ferrari 75th anniversary.
• 4:50
  So they've been around for 75 years.
• 4:53
  You know, the big guy, uh, started this shindig back in 1947.
• 4:58
  And, you know, obviously it was an interesting road how he got to there.
• 5:02
  I'm sure many of you are very, very familiar with his, uh, whole backstory
• 5:06
  and everything, how he got, you know, obviously, you know, starting young
• 5:10
  and, uh, you know, he was actually started at, um, uh, what was that, CMN?
• 5:16
  And, you know, just kind of, actually, as they keep putting, you look
• 5:20
  at stuff, the scrappings, parts, cars, and the trucks and the small
• 5:24
  cars, something along those lines.
• 5:26
  But anyways, you know, uh, then moving over to Alfa Romeo and, you know,
• 5:30
  obviously when he started there, he just, you know, started to work his
• 5:33
  way up, but that's where they actually started the famous Scuderia Ferrari name.
• 5:39
  You know, if obviously they were running Alfa Romeos, but you know,
• 5:42
  they were using that because it was.
• 5:45
  under his kind of, you know, race shop, so to speak.
• 5:49
  So he was able to do that and get out there and race his Alfa Romeos.
• 5:54
  And, uh, they were actually very successful, you know,
• 5:56
  um, he did very well.
• 5:57
  He raced a little bit when he was younger, but you know, once he
• 6:00
  started doing this, I guess, you know, we'd say he found his niche in
• 6:03
  regards to how he could handle stuff.
• 6:05
  So, you know, he started running the team and then, you know, some things
• 6:10
  happened because the alpha male wanted to, I guess, have more control over it.
• 6:15
  As this usually happens, you know, something, someone makes something
• 6:18
  successful, someone bigger wants to come and take it away from you.
• 6:21
  So, but part of the, uh, I guess separation agreement was.
• 6:25
  You know, he couldn't was it four years or five years?
• 6:27
  I believe it was they know He wasn't allowed to have
• 6:29
  his own race team like that.
• 6:30
  So he Just started making car parts and whatnot and setting himself up because he
• 6:36
  had his plan you know, he's gonna do he wanted to build race cars and You know,
• 6:40
  unfortunately, you know the war came so he got got forced into doing stuff for
• 6:47
  That regime that was in charge there.
• 6:49
  And, but on the plus side of it, it really kind of helped set them up going forward.
• 6:54
  I mean, even though his facilities got bombed out a couple of times and he had
• 6:58
  to rebuild, um, but it was kind of setting them up, you know, for the future to
• 7:02
  start building the race cars he wanted.
• 7:04
  Now, one of the big things, you know, that his accountants were trying to get
• 7:08
  across to him, um, as we all know, is.
• 7:10
  You know, he wasn't so much about road cars.
• 7:12
  He really could care less about him.
• 7:13
  He was more about all his race cars.
• 7:14
  You just want to go out and race and win, but you know, they kind
• 7:18
  of talked to him and let him know.
• 7:19
  Say, look, Enzo, you really need to build road cars to fund all your race cars.
• 7:23
  So, cause prize money and that stuff back then was various, basically non existent.
• 7:28
  So that's not going to be where you're gonna be able to fund building, um,
• 7:30
  you know, all these race cars and.
• 7:33
  As everyone knows out back then is, you know, technology and everything
• 7:37
  was just jumping as leaps and bounds.
• 7:39
  It was how fast it was growing.
• 7:41
  So you have something, you know, in a year or two later, that thing was so
• 7:44
  obsolete, you know, they, it was just basically considered scrap or junk.
• 7:48
  You know, um, as we all know, it's hindsight between 20, or I was going to
• 7:51
  go back in time and the time machine, we all be jumping on buying these, you know,
• 7:54
  old Testerosas and get ourselves on some, um, GTOs and what not and, uh, stashing
• 8:00
  away somewhere and come back to now time and be all very, very fat and happy.
• 8:03
  So, but anyways, you know, so he got himself going and, uh, you know, once
• 8:07
  everything was over, he came out, you know, his first car was that 125 S.
• 8:11
  Um, very, you know, very, very nice little compact car.
• 8:16
  I'm going to say compact car, but, you know, V12 and that thing, you know,
• 8:19
  he was a big, big advocate of the V12.
• 8:21
  I mean, it was very small V12.
• 8:23
  That was the one thing about displacement was very small in it.
• 8:25
  You know, these Pistons were super tiny on this, you know, it was kind of crazy
• 8:29
  if you would have seen it, but you know, Hey, you know, he got him going to where,
• 8:33
  uh, Hey, got the whole thing set up and got him prepared and where we're at today.
• 8:38
  So, and as we all know, kind of whole story going along and how everything
• 8:41
  progressed, uh, you know, with his life, you know, he had a son Dino who
• 8:45
  unfortunately passed away at a very young age, you know, for muscular dystrophy.
• 8:49
  Um, and you know, they had the Dino.
• 8:52
  Uh, came out, so it really wasn't, didn't come out under the Ferrari brand, but you
• 8:58
  know, eventually it would be considered, now it's considered, it's a Ferrari.
• 9:02
  Hey, it was basically everything, it just wasn't built, the Ferrari
• 9:04
  factory or anything like that, but you know, it's a gorgeous car.
• 9:09
  Now, I've tried to get in one, and cause I was, Afforded the opportunity to drive one
• 9:14
  one time, but I couldn't even fit in it.
• 9:15
  I'm a bit on the taller side I'm a little over 6'1 and I just couldn't do it and
• 9:20
  I wasn't gonna try to attempt it because last thing I want to do is trash this
• 9:25
  person's Car wrecking their gearbox trying to get the clutch to work anything
• 9:29
  because there's my laser just wrapped around the steering wheel It just was
• 9:32
  not very comfortable, but super gorgeous car Um, very enjoyable and everyone, you
• 9:37
  know, obviously they wouldn't know it's driven it or, you know, see and whatnot.
• 9:39
  It's a absolutely awesome little car.
• 9:42
  Um, but then obviously, you know, say we got to the seventies, eighties,
• 9:45
  everything's going through and now kind of a little side note, I must
• 9:48
  be, I'd be one of the weirdos out there, but I'm a big fan of the 412.
• 9:51
  Uh, I don't know.
• 9:53
  It's something about it.
• 9:54
  I just really liked that kind of look to it.
• 9:56
  And I, you know, um.
• 9:57
  One of these days, if I can, uh, draw up enough cash, I'm going to
• 10:00
  buy myself one of those in a manual.
• 10:02
  Cause I, I don't know something about it.
• 10:03
  I just really like them.
• 10:04
  I think it's kind of a unique car.
• 10:05
  It's a 4C or whatnot.
• 10:06
  It's kind of under the radar.
• 10:08
  Um, you know, most people wouldn't realize if you've seen it that
• 10:10
  it actually was a Ferrari.
• 10:11
  But I don't know something about it.
• 10:12
  I just really like, I dig them.
• 10:13
  So, hey, but that's just me.
• 10:14
  I'm just a little bit on the odd side, so.
• 10:17
  But, let's kind of talk about what they're going to be doing, uh,
• 10:21
  this year for the 70th anniversary.
• 10:23
  And, you know, where things are headed, what they kind of got going on.
• 10:25
  Now, we know they've already dropped to 296.
• 10:28
  So basically that is, or I guess you would say, you know, it's kind of
• 10:32
  the spiritual successor to the Dino.
• 10:34
  Um, I can't wait.
• 10:36
  I'm looking forward.
• 10:37
  I'm, I'm hoping to get an opportunity down at, uh, Cavalino to be
• 10:40
  able to, uh, Either drive one or at least go for a driving one.
• 10:43
  Um, I've talked to people that hopefully are gonna set me up I haven't got word
• 10:47
  back yet, but hopefully if I do I'll get video of that But that is such an awesome
• 10:52
  car, you know everything I read about it, you know, it's it's very deceptive
• 10:55
  and deceiving It's not that big, but man, it's got a ton of power, man.
• 11:01
  That thing is going to get up and go.
• 11:02
  And so I'm looking really, really forward to be able to
• 11:05
  go out and check out this car.
• 11:07
  Um, you know, it's just absolutely beautiful.
• 11:09
  So that's going to be one of my things I'm looking forward to when I get
• 11:12
  down there amongst everything else.
• 11:14
  But I suppose it also now is in the works.
• 11:16
  I think it's going to come out this year in 2022 is they're working on.
• 11:21
  The, um, I would say convertible target, whatever you want to call it for that,
• 11:24
  uh, they'll be coming out with it, uh, for this year's, you know, it kind of
• 11:27
  been under wraps, but that's supposedly one of the things that they're going
• 11:29
  to drop for this year, um, is putting that as a drop top for that car,
• 11:34
  which is going to look really, really cool with that thing being that way.
• 11:37
  Um, or if it's even just kind of that target top look like how the old Dino's
• 11:41
  were, it's just that target look to it.
• 11:42
  It's really cool, you know, I mean.
• 11:45
  You know, just a little wind in your hair, you know, to me, I think, you
• 11:47
  know, it's nice and this day and age, they can build those cars so rigid, you
• 11:51
  won't even know that anything's missing on the top, you know, back in the day,
• 11:54
  as many of you probably aware as, you know, those, when he had the convertible
• 11:58
  top, those man, that cowl shake you get on those things was just absolutely crazy
• 12:02
  and drive you nuts going down the road.
• 12:04
  So, but you know, this day and age, they were able to do everything they
• 12:07
  can and whatnot with those things.
• 12:08
  So, um, I'm excited to see that.
• 12:11
  Um, but the other big thing, you know, and something that, They said they
• 12:16
  were never, never, never going to do.
• 12:18
  And you know, old Luca Di Montalbello, I'm hacking up his name.
• 12:22
  My apologies, but you know, I just don't speak Italian, but anyways, you
• 12:25
  know, swore up and down left and right.
• 12:27
  They will, Ferrari will never produce an SUV.
• 12:30
  It's just not in our DNA.
• 12:31
  There's just no way we're sports.
• 12:33
  Well, as we all seen the spy photos and stuff, I posted on there, the
• 12:36
  people saying it's coming out.
• 12:38
  It's supposed to come out this year.
• 12:39
  It's actually supposed to be, um, what is it, late spring, early summer?
• 12:43
  It's supposed to drop.
• 12:44
  Now, it looks pretty cool from the spy shots.
• 12:46
  I mean, it's hard to tell because it's got all the camouflage on it.
• 12:49
  But, it's looking like it's going to be kind of interesting.
• 12:52
  Now, you know, a lot of people are thinking that it's just going to
• 12:55
  kind of be a blown up, um, stretched out, or I guess how would you say,
• 13:00
  you know, um, I'm going to say the FF Um, you know, but looking at
• 13:05
  it, I don't get that impression.
• 13:07
  You know, it doesn't seem to be as like as long.
• 13:10
  And as that, um, it's, it just seems like it's more squatty short, you know, um,
• 13:17
  I want to say that, you know, station wagon, I guess, but, you know, it's not
• 13:20
  going to be something big and bulky like those butt ugly Bentley Bentaygas or
• 13:26
  whatever, and the Rolls Royce Cullinan.
• 13:28
  Those things are so ugly.
• 13:30
  I don't know about you guys, man.
• 13:31
  I'll say I, I baffles me.
• 13:34
  I said seeing some of those driving around and people spend
• 13:37
  the money on those things.
• 13:38
  I mean, I don't, that's just me personally.
• 13:39
  Hey, you know what, they're, they're built phenomenal, everything like that.
• 13:42
  They're people buying whatnot.
• 13:43
  But I, I just don't get it, you know, to me, rolls Royce a Bentley,
• 13:48
  you know, that's a, that's a, that's a big four-door sedan, driving in
• 13:51
  comfort and, you know, that's just, that's my, my personal choice.
• 13:55
  Let me know drop me a note down there tell me what you guys think on that
• 13:59
  But anyways, you know, so I'm kind of looking forward to see that coming out
• 14:03
  Um, you know, I highly doubt they're gonna have something down to canoes.
• 14:06
  I would there's no way they would I mean, I know Maybe we surprised me.
• 14:09
  We'll have a big surprise showing down or something for it But if they do a
• 14:13
  I'll get some photos of it and spend them around But you know, like I said, I'm
• 14:18
  curious to see when that thing drops.
• 14:20
  I would assume here you know, how they do it, they get the prototypes that are
• 14:26
  just about ready for production out there in the hands of, you know, a lot of these
• 14:29
  magazines and whatnot and start testing.
• 14:31
  So maybe hopefully here we'll see something coming up in the
• 14:34
  next couple of months with.
• 14:35
  Actual, uh, people that are not from Ferrari themselves out there test
• 14:39
  driving and get the impressions on it and see so, but you know, everyone's
• 14:43
  going to say, Oh, it's blasphemy.
• 14:44
  It's going against me, but you know what?
• 14:46
  It's going to sell like hotcakes and it's just going to be that much more
• 14:50
  adding to the bottom line of Ferrari.
• 14:51
  And Hey, God bless them.
• 14:52
  You know what?
• 14:53
  I'm curious to know is how many, you know, if they're going to limit it,
• 14:56
  whatnot, you know, coming out with special models, uh, everything for it.
• 15:00
  So it's going to be interesting to see.
• 15:01
  How they approach that with the SUV as compared to the road cars no, obviously
• 15:06
  you come up with all these special models and Celebratory models and what not, you
• 15:11
  know, um, like for the SF90 and that stuff and throughout the years doing everything.
• 15:14
  But, curious to see how they handle this with this SUV and what comes
• 15:18
  about because I have a feeling it's going to be extremely successful.
• 15:22
  Unfortunately, you're probably going to see too, as you know, it's They're
• 15:25
  gonna, um, you gotta be one of those special people, previous or current
• 15:29
  Ferrari owner, gotta own five or ten of them, whatnot, to be able
• 15:31
  to get the first ones out the door.
• 15:33
  And then, you know, they'll turn around and sell them for triple the
• 15:35
  price and make a bunch of money.
• 15:37
  But, um, so it remains to be seen.
• 15:40
  So, I'm looking forward to that.
• 15:41
  I'm kind of excited.
• 15:42
  I don't know how many of you guys are, but, you know, I'm really
• 15:45
  excited to see how this comes out.
• 15:46
  Cause, you know, from what I've seen, I think that's gonna be
• 15:48
  a really, really cool vehicle.
• 15:50
  But now instead is, um, You know, the, the next big thing, I don't know about
• 15:55
  any of you guys, but I'm a huge F1 fan.
• 15:56
  I've been for God knows for God, many, many, many, many, many years.
• 16:01
  Um, so I'm looking forward to the new F1 season.
• 16:06
  Now, obviously everything was supposed to happen all new this past season,
• 16:12
  but since COVID and everything like that hit, they pushed off here
• 16:15
  just because of money, whatnot.
• 16:16
  You know, we had that crazy, you know, the, Crazy year of no fans, no nothing.
• 16:21
  How they pulled off all those races is beyond me, but you know,
• 16:24
  somehow, some way they did it.
• 16:25
  God bless them.
• 16:26
  Um, but you know, obviously in the last year they had a, you know, return
• 16:30
  of the fans, everything like that.
• 16:31
  So, and everything's on board now.
• 16:32
  We're going to have the cost cap, um, was 140 million or 145
• 16:37
  million for 2022 is your cost cap.
• 16:39
  So I'm really curious to see how this helps, you know, the smaller teams.
• 16:44
  Now I know it's like, I know Haas really didn't even come close to,
• 16:48
  um, Spending that kind of money.
• 16:49
  I mean, they think they're in like the 80 to 90 million range, you know, doing it,
• 16:53
  but how they're, you know, unique approach to that, um, being basically, um, can
• 17:00
  we say an understudy, um, you know, uh, however, their alignment is with Ferrari.
• 17:06
  I mean, you really don't hear much about it when they first came in.
• 17:08
  No, it was.
• 17:09
  You know, they were touting it big time in regards to how their
• 17:12
  collaboration with Ferrari is going to be and everything like that.
• 17:15
  You know, that first year they did phenomenal.
• 17:17
  They did really, really well right out of the gate.
• 17:18
  Everyone was like shocked.
• 17:20
  You know, you don't, that doesn't happen with a new team.
• 17:21
  But then obviously reality set in, um, you know, uh, in season
• 17:26
  improvements, you know, they just were lacking in that department.
• 17:30
  But said all these other smaller teams, it's going to be interesting
• 17:33
  to see how they, um, come out this year in regards to pace.
• 17:38
  Um, and just, you know, what they'll be able to do update wise,
• 17:41
  everything along those lines.
• 17:43
  Cause everything's supposed to tighten up the racing.
• 17:46
  The new aerodynamics is supposed to create a lot more closer racing.
• 17:51
  You're supposed to be able to follow, especially going into corners or maybe,
• 17:55
  you know, more, I guess, um, It's got like a longer radius corner to it.
• 18:00
  Not something so tight, you know, where you can be able to follow the car and
• 18:03
  the airflow it's coming over and through the car in front of you is not getting
• 18:07
  taken off of your car where all of a sudden your whole front end washes out.
• 18:10
  You have no downforce.
• 18:11
  And you got to back off or you're just going to end up in the kitty litter.
• 18:14
  Um, you know, so it's going to be interesting to see how this plays out.
• 18:18
  But on the other side, the cars look gorgeous.
• 18:20
  Uh, I think those 18 inch rims look really, really good on those cars.
• 18:24
  Um, it really kind of gives it a completely different look.
• 18:26
  I mean, just, they, to me, they look like how they should for
• 18:30
  the time and age we're living in.
• 18:32
  You know, they were getting a little out of hand there with the
• 18:34
  size and everything like that.
• 18:36
  And just all the appendages and everything they were putting on these things.
• 18:39
  But to me, I think these things look phenomenal.
• 18:41
  So, uh, I'm really, really excited.
• 18:43
  I mean, it's crazy to think that we only got like, what was it, um, I
• 18:47
  think another couple weeks, was it, I think it was early February, um,
• 18:52
  that Ferrari's gonna drop, you know.
• 18:55
  Break the covers off of it.
• 18:56
  So, I can't wait for that and obviously, um, they'll have their, I would say,
• 19:02
  winter testing, pre season testing now.
• 19:04
  Um, how would they do it?
• 19:05
  They do it over there in Spain.
• 19:06
  Um, so, I can't wait for that to happen.
• 19:09
  That's going to be really, really awesome.
• 19:10
  And before you know it, Brayston's going to be here again.
• 19:13
  Um, so have that season over, man.
• 19:15
  It's going to be outstanding.
• 19:16
  Now, I know this year I'm going to try and make my way down to Austin.
• 19:19
  Uh, I got some family that lives down there, so I definitely
• 19:22
  want to hit up that one.
• 19:23
  I've, I've been to the, up to Montreal, was in India a bunch of times for
• 19:26
  when they had it in Indianapolis.
• 19:28
  Um, I tell you what, man, if any of you have not ever been
• 19:32
  to an F1 race, you got to go.
• 19:33
  You know, and, and uh, I'm really, really excited to see
• 19:36
  how Miami's going to come out.
• 19:38
  That's going to be really cool too.
• 19:39
  Um, I don't know so much about like, go there and physically watch the race
• 19:43
  because you're really not gonna be able to see much because of where they're
• 19:45
  racing and how the track's set up.
• 19:46
  But, that's gonna be really cool too, the track layout, everything like
• 19:49
  that's supposed to be really cool.
• 19:51
  You know, just looking at what I've seen so far online, you know, it's
• 19:53
  supposed to be really, really good.
• 19:55
  So, lots of cool stuff coming up in F1 for uh, 2022.
• 19:59
  Not only just the new cars, but you know, new races, Miami getting added
• 20:03
  and it's just gonna be outstanding.
• 20:05
  Now, I feel sorry for those teams and the guys working on the teams because
• 20:08
  man, that's just A long haul for that season to be able to do that many
• 20:12
  races going all around the world like that, not getting much of a break.
• 20:17
  I mean, man, that's just, uh, got to kill those guys.
• 20:21
  I mean, that's just, I mean, how do you, how do you have a home life
• 20:24
  and something along those lines, you know, you're gone that much.
• 20:26
  I mean, I don't know.
• 20:27
  I mean.
• 20:28
  If anyone out there that's listening, uh, takes a listen to this podcast, uh, and
• 20:33
  works on with F1 team, that's on one of the channel things, Hey, drop me a line.
• 20:36
  Let me know.
• 20:36
  Shoot me an email.
• 20:37
  I'd love to talk to you.
• 20:37
  Let's get you on here.
• 20:38
  And, um, we'll chit chat a little bit and just about your experiences and how
• 20:41
  that works and what you guys do and like how far ahead, you know, I'm, I'm really
• 20:45
  curious to find out more about that or, or Hey, if you're retired from doing that
• 20:50
  or you did it for a little bit, why not reach out to me, man, drop me a line.
• 20:54
  You know, shoot me an email, you know, william at the Ferrari marketplace.
• 20:56
  com, uh, let me know and uh, we'll chit chat a little bit.
• 20:59
  We can, uh, set something up and get you on here.
• 21:01
  So, but kind of one last thing I want to end on.
• 21:06
  Um, I came across this kind of doing a little research to get this first
• 21:09
  one off the ground and, but I, I'll post it, um, uh, on the website.
• 21:14
  I'll post it on LinkedIn.
• 21:16
  I'll post it all over the place, but I hadn't heard about this.
• 21:19
  But, there was a testing accident, well not a testing accident, but
• 21:24
  a test mule was out being, uh, run around and they, uh, whoever was
• 21:30
  driving it had a bit of a problem.
• 21:32
  Um, they crunched this thing big time.
• 21:35
  I mean, you'll see the The video and the photos, man, they, they
• 21:40
  whacked the front end really good.
• 21:42
  Now it's got an SF 90 body on it, but obviously it's just being
• 21:46
  disguised because it's got all the camo tape on everything on it.
• 21:48
  So I'm really curious to know what kind of, what they were doing.
• 21:52
  So I was just.
• 21:53
  You know, more horsepower, whatnot, but I mean, I'll drop the video
• 21:57
  and you'll see for yourselves how bad this thing was crunched.
• 22:01
  So, supposedly the driver was okay, whoever was doing the driving, I
• 22:04
  guess they walked, they were fine, you know, everything kind of place.
• 22:07
  Um, but the one thing that's interesting, you know, you look
• 22:09
  at, watch the video on that is, you know, that front end got whacked hard
• 22:12
  and there are no airbags went off.
• 22:15
  So I don't know on these test mules if they don't have them, you know.
• 22:18
  hooked up or they're not in or how that works.
• 22:20
  No idea.
• 22:21
  Um, anyone out there knows how that works and test mules, you know, they're out on
• 22:25
  the road, they got to have that kind of stuff, you know, hooked up or whatnot.
• 22:28
  Be curious to know because this person took a nice big whack in the
• 22:32
  front end, like dead nuts straight on and you know, no airbags went out.
• 22:35
  So, um, Curious about that.
• 22:38
  Anyone out there know the answer to that?
• 22:40
  Let me know.
• 22:40
  I'd be curious to find the answer to that.
• 22:42
  Shoot me an email or just drop it in the chat section and let me know.
• 22:46
  So, but I'll put that out there.
• 22:47
  So, but anyways.
• 22:49
  Hey, this is the first one, you know, getting it out there.
• 22:52
  It's gonna be extremely rough.
• 22:53
  I know, I get it.
• 22:54
  So, I apologize.
• 22:56
  You know, if You know, I got some things wrong, whatnot.
• 23:00
  Again, I'm sorry, you know, trying to get this first one out.
• 23:03
  I got my notes here, but you know, trying to go through it as I do more, obviously
• 23:08
  we'll get a little better, um, flow to it and a little better information
• 23:11
  on it and, you know, get a little bit longer, but again, my apologies.
• 23:15
  Take it easy on me.
• 23:16
  Hey, gotta start somewhere, right?
• 23:18
  But hey, as I said before, if you're in the industry, if you work, you
• 23:21

  We'll chat, you know, I want to try and do like one, two of these a week.
• 23:36
  You know, not keep them too long, too crazy.
• 23:38
  You know, something that we can listen to on the way into work or what have
• 23:41
  you, just nice, you know, keep it around, you know, half hour or whatnot.
• 23:44

  on what we're talking about.
• 23:47
  You know, as you start shooting the, you know, you know, what doing everything.

  with the Ferrari marketplace, you know, I want to do the podcast.
• 24:09
  I'm going to start doing the YouTube videos.
• 24:11
  Um, and on there, we know handle private client sales.
• 24:14
  So, um, if there's, you got something out there you want to handle off market,
• 24:18
  you know, let me know, got a database of clients, whatnot, you know, kind of nose
• 24:22
  around looking for some specific vehicles.
• 24:24
  So, Hey, you know, you want to keep it hush, hush, and, you know, keep
• 24:28
  it on the down low, because as you know, something gets out there, your
• 24:30
  price gets out there, it gets no hate.
• 24:32
  And all of a sudden that's what that car's priced at.
• 24:34
  It's like, Hey, let's keep the values up.
• 24:36
  You know, these cars are, you know.
• 24:38
  Basically, you know, hey, these are this artwork, you know, it's been designated,
• 24:41
  you know, these are gorgeous vehicles.
• 24:42
  So let's go do what we can to keep up, uh, values of these cars.
• 24:47
  Um, so, but like I said, Hey, if you want to reach out to me, you know, we handle
• 24:51
  off market, private, uh, client services.
• 24:53
  So, uh, and sales in that.
• 24:55
  So, but anyways, like I said, take it easy on me.
• 24:58

• 25:01
  somewhere, but listen, uh, I really appreciate everybody listening.
