  As part of Ferrari Fridays, William Ross from the Exotic Car Marketplace
• 0:04
  will be discussing all things Ferrari and interviewing people that live
• 0:07
  and breathe the Ferrari brand.
• 0:09
  Topics range from road cars to racing, drivers to owners, as well
• 0:13
  as auctions, private sales, and trends in the collector market.
• 0:26
  And welcome back everyone to the Ferrari marketplace.
• 0:29
  This is William.
• 0:30
  I hope everybody is doing well.
• 0:32
  Um, this took a little bit getting this, uh, next episode out.
• 0:36
  Uh, I've been traveling quite a bit.
• 0:37
  The past couple of weekends, uh, was out in California, as you know.
• 0:41
  And then this past weekend, I was down at Amelia Island for the
• 0:45
  Concourse d'Elegance down there.
• 0:47
  The one that Hagerty just took over and they renamed it.
• 0:49
  I just shortened up the name, I guess.
• 0:52
  So, but, um, kind of want to jump in this stuff, but first and foremost, I kind of
• 0:57
  want to say, you know, this is a Friday that I'm dropping this and this is what
• 1:01
  March 11th, I believe today's date is, um, and season four drive to survive.
• 1:10
  And I got snookered into watching the first few episodes and started
• 1:16
  getting the binge saying I had to peel myself away because I needed
• 1:19
  to get this up and put it out there.
• 1:21
  And so, but I don't know if any of you out there have been watching this season.
• 1:27
  Drive to survive the past three seasons or what?
• 1:29
  But I mean, I really, I enjoyed it.
• 1:31
  I mean, I like it.
• 1:31
  Um, I think they did a heck of a job yet, you know, building up, um,
• 1:37
  creating the drama, whatever you got, how they want to do, but it's
• 1:40
  television, that's what they got to do.
• 1:41
  But, you know, I really like it because it gives you more of a sense, kind of
• 1:44
  gives you, you know, more of a behind the scenes look, you know, and anyone that's,
• 1:48
  is an F one fan, you know, knows that how formula one is very standoffish and closed
• 1:53
  off and, you Getting to see what goes on behind the scenes is about impossible
• 1:57
  unless you, you know, are very, very rich or you work for one of the teams.
• 2:03
  So it's, it's always really cool to see, but I said, I just watched the
• 2:06
  first few episodes and you know, it's just as good as it's been in the past.
• 2:10
  So, um, I've only gotten through three episodes, so, uh, there's more
• 2:13
  to come and I had to peel myself away, like I said, so I could, uh,
• 2:17
  get this, this episode up and going.
• 2:19
  So anyways.
• 2:21
  Back to the main agenda and talking about Amelia Island.
• 2:24
  Um, so what I did is, uh, I was, I was on the fence about going down because
• 2:29
  I had just gotten back from California that Monday night and I thought I'd
• 2:34
  talk my, uh, Father to come down with me and each time I talked to him, I
• 2:39
  could tell that he didn't want to go.
• 2:41
  So I finally just let him off the hook and say, look, I can
• 2:43
  tell you don't want to go.
• 2:44
  Don't worry about it.
• 2:45
  So I ended up just, you know, jumping in the car myself
• 2:48
  Thursday and just driving down.
• 2:50
  It's not that bad of a drive.
• 2:51
  You know, it's only like 12 hours.
• 2:52
  So it's no big deal.
• 2:53
  I like driving.
• 2:54
  So, you know, it's not bad.
• 2:55
  Especially, you know, you driving the right car helps also too.
• 2:59
  And, you know, it's going through the mountains to West Virginia.
• 3:01
  Virginia is a lot of fun and, you know, a lot of twists and turns and what
• 3:04
  have you and You know, getting out past that once you get into, you know, um,
• 3:08
  the Carolinas and Georgia and that, you know, it's pretty nice straight
• 3:11
  shots and, um, you know, nice just.
• 3:14
  Wide open stints, you know, you get humming along it at a nice
• 3:17
  fast pace and it goes quick.
• 3:19
  But the thing that drives me nuts is these yahoos that park out in the left lane
• 3:26
  and then they don't either don't look in their mirrors or just absolutely clueless
• 3:31
  or they're just that bad of drivers.
• 3:33
  So I don't know.
• 3:34
  And it just really, really.
• 3:35
  It bugs the shit out of me that these people, I mean, and they're the ones that
• 3:40
  kind of get traffic backed up because they sit out there, you know, and they take
• 3:44
  their sweet ass time, like trying to pass someone and you know, you got like five
• 3:48
  cars behind you and you're sitting there on them trying to get them, you know,
• 3:51
  it's just, it's a pain in the ass and I'm sure a lot of you probably have dealt
• 3:54
  with it and you know, I just don't get it.
• 3:56
  You know, they, they should make it a national law.
• 3:59
  That, you know, I know some states have, like Ohio has it, and a lot of states, oh,
• 4:03
  hey, you know, left lane's passing only, but people ignore the heck out of that.
• 4:06
  And what they need to do is make it a law, and I think Germany is the one
• 4:10
  that has a fantastic law regarding this.
• 4:12
  One, semis cannot even go in the left lane, so depending if there's only two
• 4:16
  lanes, they gotta stay in the right lane, they can't even go over there.
• 4:19
  And you have to get back over to the right lane.
• 4:21
  You cannot just sit out there in that left lane.
• 4:24
  Because like, as soon as you pass someone, you get right back over.
• 4:27
  And, you know, that's what needs to happen here.
• 4:29
  I mean, because this is just getting ridiculous with people.
• 4:32
  And this is what causes road rage.
• 4:34
  And, you know, I just don't get it.
• 4:36
  But anyways, back to Amelia.
• 4:37
  So anyways, I got down there, um, well I left on Thursday.
• 4:42
  And I drove down, I, I got down, I didn't leave till a little bit in the morning.
• 4:45
  It's like about 9 15 or so, nine ish.
• 4:48
  And I drove down to about 8 PM or so I got down to about Savannah, Georgia,
• 4:54
  which only put me like a couple hours outside of where Amelia is, Amelia, not
• 4:58
  all that familiar is basically kind of just Northeast of Jacksonville, Florida.
• 5:04
  Um, so I, I got to Savannah cause I, I was beat and it's like, Hey, I can just
• 5:09
  get up in the morning cause nothing really started till about 10 o'clock.
• 5:11
  Anyways, the next day.
• 5:12
  So I parked myself in Savannah for the evening got up early in the
• 5:17
  morning and made my way to the Gooding auction So that was my first event.
• 5:21
  I wanted to hit that was going on on that Friday And they have their own
• 5:26
  separate facility over at the Omni Club and real nice setup, you know, lots
• 5:30
  of tents everything's available and I will say this if you ever go down to
• 5:35
  Amelia the parking is the biggest pain in the ass and you know, sometimes you
• 5:40
  can luck out if you're doing, you can park out on the road, you know, on the
• 5:44
  side of the street and that, you know, they're pretty flexible about that.
• 5:46
  But there are tons of signs everywhere about telling you
• 5:48
  where you can and can't park.
• 5:50
  Um, but no, especially going for Saturday and Sunday, the concourse
• 5:53
  itself at the Ritz, you know, you could either have to get there at 56 a.
• 5:58
  m.
• 5:59
  Park somewhere relatively close and walk or you're gonna be spending 20 30
• 6:03
  40 dollars for parking It is what it is, you know, so so be it But anyways,
• 6:08
  so I got to gooding and I got myself actually a decent spot, which I was
• 6:11
  actually surprised But so I got in and I started going around I shot some videos.
• 6:15
  So if you want you'll check out the Um, the uh, YouTube channel and you know,
• 6:20
  the Ferrari marketplace or motorsports.
• 6:23
  And I got a lot of stuff that's posted up there, but check out
• 6:26
  the Ferrari marketplace site.
• 6:27
  I got, you know, tons of video up.
• 6:29
  It's a multiple videos, I guess you would say.
• 6:33
  Um, cause you know, goody was the one that actually had, I guess
• 6:37
  the, uh, I guess the most Ferraris added available for the auction.
• 6:41
  And you know, they had a great.
• 6:42
  It's, you know, set up regards to in the tents going around and then
• 6:45
  you actually had the auction room itself, the auction tent itself, which
• 6:49
  was rather large and it was packed.
• 6:52
  Now, I don't know if this is just because it's pent up, you know, people finally
• 6:55
  getting out and be able to kind of start going to places and whatnot because of
• 6:58
  COVID it's getting a little more, you know, things are getting a little more
• 7:00
  relaxed or what, but I can tell you what, it was packed to the wall, the wall.
• 7:04
  I mean, it was, there was a lot of people, a lot of activity, a lot of,
• 7:06
  a lot of people raising their hands.
• 7:09
  Um, you know, some stuff going below estimates, some going above
• 7:13
  estimates, some right in the middle.
• 7:14
  You know, it just kind of depends.
• 7:16
  Um, like I said, you know, Gooding had probably the biggest selection of Ferraris
• 7:22
  there, uh, that they were auctioning off.
• 7:24
  And they had a, now the one they had that was kind of interesting
• 7:27
  was a, was a Testarossa Recreation.
• 7:29
  And it went right just above its high estimate, went for, I think
• 7:33
  it was just a smidge over the, you know, half a million dollar mark.
• 7:36
  But I tell you what, it was a really, really nice job on the
• 7:39
  street creation that someone did.
• 7:40
  And, you know, this is a car that, hey, you can drive on the street and not
• 7:45
  have to worry about telling me it's still a half a million dollar car.
• 7:47
  But, you know, it's, you're not so much worried about driving a 10, 15, 20
• 7:53
  million dollar Testarossa out on the road.
• 7:56
  Whereas you got this thing where it's got a Ferrari engine chassis I think
• 7:59
  they took off a 330 chassis and you know made the body did everything with it
• 8:03
  Then you'll put the you know motor in it.
• 8:06
  So I mean, it's a Ferrari just a it's a rebodied car on it You know 330 chassis
• 8:11
  So but it's when you go out there and drive and have some fun with and enjoy
• 8:13
  it not really be paranoid About someone getting too close to you on the street
• 8:18
  or anything like that now at Gooding They're the top Ferrari that they had
• 8:23
  go off was an f40 91 f40 And it sold for just over, just, just a smidge under, I
• 8:31
  should say, uh, two and a half million.
• 8:34
  Uh, the estimate, it fell, you know, it was on the lower end of
• 8:36
  the estimate, the estimate was 2.
• 8:37
  4 to 2.
• 8:38
  8.
• 8:39
  Um, so that thing was really nice.
• 8:41
  It was super clean.
• 8:41
  It had a decent mileage on it.
• 8:43
  Uh, well maintained document history and stuff like that.
• 8:45
  So that was nice.
• 8:46
  And the next they had was a, uh, 67 330 GTS.
• 8:50
  Now that one again, low end of the estimate, just a smidge
• 8:53
  over, just a hair under 2.
• 8:55
  1 million.
• 8:56
  Uh, estimates were 2 to 2.
• 8:58
  4.
• 8:58
  So again, low end of the estimate.
• 9:01
  And the last one that they had go through was a 275.
• 9:06
  If you check out the videos on the channel, you'll see I have posted pictures
• 9:10
  on this place, you know on this car, too Now this 275 now you probably go.
• 9:14
  Wow, that's you know went for a decent price.
• 9:16
  Well, this thing needed a ton of work The sills everything were rotted.
• 9:22
  I mean I couldn't see the floors, but you looked inside and the passenger
• 9:25
  foot Well, it was just all wires.
• 9:27
  I mean this thing needed a lot of love It had been sitting for a long
• 9:31
  long time in someone's garage barn, whatever But You're probably looking
• 9:37
  but close to probably between 800 to a million dollars to get this thing up
• 9:41
  to snuff You know, so it was someone took it on and someone's gonna do it.
• 9:46
  So again, it's kind of one of those ones Okay, you stand there looking at it.
• 9:51
  You're like, okay Hey, I could just you know get to get it running good
• 9:54
  But not and just drive it with the patina and not to worry about it.
• 9:56
  Well It's gonna take a lot more than that to get this
• 9:58
  thing up and going on the road.
• 10:00
  So, um, kudos to whoever purchased it and was gonna get this thing up
• 10:05
  on the road and get this thing going.
• 10:06
  So, um, good for them.
• 10:08
  'cause, you know, you like to, don't like to see these things just
• 10:10
  kind of rotten, go into the ground.
• 10:12
  So, but, um, you know, the rest of the auction was really, really good time.
• 10:16
  I mean, a lot of activity going on.
• 10:18
  And, uh, they had sold, uh, you know, a, uh, a Talbot Lago.
• 10:22
  That went for, uh, after all said and done just a smidge under
• 10:26
  13 and a half million dollars.
• 10:28
  So that was kind of interesting to watch that and it's always fun watching
• 10:30
  the auctioneers, you know, try and I guess push things out, you know, kind
• 10:34
  of get more money because they're obviously they're trying to get the
• 10:37
  most for the seller, but you know, the more they get for the seller,
• 10:40
  the more they put in their pocket.
• 10:42
  So, you know, it's a win win for everybody all around except maybe the buyer
• 10:44
  who's got to spend more money on it.
• 10:46
  So, but this car was absolutely gorgeous.
• 10:48
  It was the main focal point.
• 10:50
  Uh, when you went in the one tent, first tent, as soon as you walked in, you
• 10:53
  know, got your ticket and went through, they had it up on a pedestal, you
• 10:56
  know, roped off, everything like that.
• 10:58
  So, I mean, you can still get up close to it and look inside it, take
• 11:00
  photos and everything like that.
• 11:01
  But this thing was absolutely gorgeous.
• 11:03
  And, you know, it worked probably every bit of the 13 and a half million.
• 11:07
  So kudos, congrats to the new buyer on that.
• 11:11
  Um, so anyways, that, you know, you know, hanging out there, I mean, they didn't
• 11:17
  have like hundreds and hundreds of cars.
• 11:18
  So the event didn't last all that long.
• 11:21
  So, I mean, I got out of there, I think it was like around 2, 2.
• 11:23
  30, and I think they still had a few cars to go, but I kind of wanted
• 11:26
  to beat traffic, and there really wasn't much else to do after that.
• 11:31
  Um, you know, they kind of stressed me out.
• 11:33
  Now, Sotheby's had their thing going on, and Bonhams also.
• 11:36
  I didn't go to either of those auctions, because I just, I didn't want to do it,
• 11:40
  because I know both those, they really didn't have anything that was of interest
• 11:43
  to me that was going across the block.
• 11:46
  But, the other fact is, Tuesday was a relatively smaller sized auction, so.
• 11:51
  It just wasn't, wasn't intriguing enough for me to take my time and go over there.
• 11:56
  So now, so after it's over, I just, you know, got stuff.
• 11:59
  Cause I was still kind of beat from doing all the driving the past couple of days.
• 12:03
  So I went, you know, got to my hotel, went and checked in and went
• 12:05
  up to the store and got a thing.
• 12:06
  But I wanted to say this, the hotel I stayed at was absolute crap.
• 12:09
  Um, you know, I was shopping around trying to find a hotel last minute
• 12:13
  and this one was, you know, It was only like 70 bucks a night.
• 12:17
  It was cheap and you get what you pay for.
• 12:19
  Right.
• 12:19
  You know, so, but kind of pissed me off was, you know, when I did, I was
• 12:25
  like, okay, I'm gonna stay, you know, Friday, Saturday and Sunday night and
• 12:27
  I'll leave Monday morning cause I, you know, I wasn't thinking, but then after,
• 12:30
  you know, what was going on and being at the events on Friday, I realized,
• 12:34
  well, shit, I'm going to be out of here.
• 12:35
  Probably one, two o'clock on Sunday.
• 12:37
  I'm not going to just go and hang out, you know, and wait till Monday morning, leave.
• 12:41
  I'll just get on the road and start driving halfway.
• 12:44
  Sunday night or Sunday and get halfway that way I'm not doing so much driving
• 12:48
  and you know I did it through hotels.
• 12:51
  com and sure enough, you know, and I knew that way I'm just talking these
• 12:54
  morons at the front desk, you know, they had clueless I mean when you're at a
• 12:58
  place, it's only 60 70 dollars a night.
• 13:00
  You're gonna get the kind of people that work there they're just absolutely
• 13:03
  clueless and They were absolutely no help.
• 13:06
  I was like, look, I'm not trying to, I just want to cancel the one night.
• 13:08
  I don't need it.
• 13:09
  And I knew that they weren't going to go for that because they
• 13:11
  want to scrape every nickel out.
• 13:13
  And sure enough, they didn't.
• 13:14
  Uh, you know, I went to hotels.
• 13:16
  com, you know, and going back forth, phone calls, whatnot, and trying to explain it.
• 13:20
  I get an email and say, well, you know, they're, since you're still
• 13:23
  there, they're not going to cancel it.
• 13:25
  I'm not canceling it.
• 13:26
  I just need to get rid of the, you know, cancel the one for last night.
• 13:29
  Cause I'm not going to be here.
• 13:31
  Oh, apologize for the, the confusion, blah, blah, blah.
• 13:34
  You know?
• 13:34
  And cause I knew they weren't gonna do nothing.
• 13:36
  So anyways, I had to eat it, but anyways, what can you do?
• 13:40
  But the place was just absolute shithole and.
• 13:44
  If it comes up I'm not gonna name the name because I'm not gonna all sudden
• 13:47
  somebody get this and I get a lawsuit or something for Defamation or some kind
• 13:51
  of crap like that, but let's just say it's an it was just an absolute shithole
• 13:55
  But anyways, so I just hung out and then Saturday morning I got up early got
• 13:59
  myself moving because they had going on at the Ritz itself where the concourse
• 14:04
  is On saturday they had the radwood and the concourse de lemons Um, i'm not sure
• 14:09
  how many of you out there familiar with this, you know the concourse de lemons and
• 14:12
  the radwood Now the concourse of lemons, you know They've actually been around
• 14:15
  for a few years now and which started out as a joke out in pebble beach And
• 14:20
  kind of just as the anti establishment type situation So these guys set it up
• 14:25
  and got these going but it took off.
• 14:27
  I mean it was a huge hit You know, I don't know if you've ever been to one
• 14:30
  but they're just absolutely a blast to jetty, walk through and see, um, you
• 14:35
  know, it's people, you know, they're not taking themselves seriously.
• 14:38
  They're just having fun.
• 14:39
  And this Radwood is something that's relatively, uh, new to the
• 14:43
  scene in regards to what they do.
• 14:45
  It's kind of, I don't say not take off the concourse of lemons, but
• 14:48
  what this is, Radwood was like their eighties and nineties cars.
• 14:51
  Um, so cars to me that I grew up, you know, in high school and college,
• 14:56
  you know, having and lusting after, um, but it wasn't like, you know,
• 14:59
  have Ferrari stuff like that.
• 15:01
  You know, it's going to be your, your Mustangs, your Camaros, stuff like that.
• 15:05
  Um, you know, stuff that you could actually maybe obtain in
• 15:08
  high school and drive around.
• 15:09
  So I don't know about you, but, uh, I had a Fiero GT in high school.
• 15:13
  Um, that thing was a blast.
• 15:15
  And then I, once I graduated, I had actually a Mustang GT, um, an 85.
• 15:19
  That thing was awesome.
• 15:20
  But anyways.
• 15:22
  Those events were a lot of fun.
• 15:23
  They had other things going on around there with it.
• 15:25
  Um, you know, it wasn't just those events there.
• 15:29
  Porsche had a nice set up, um, and then there was a kind of a set up going
• 15:33
  on because they had the lake set up.
• 15:34
  Now if you, you know, look at some of the photos and videos and what
• 15:36
  not of how this thing was done.
• 15:38
  You know, they had other cars set up.
• 15:39
  The guys from Curated had a nice set up with uh, some Lamborghinis
• 15:43
  and that, um, and an F40.
• 15:45
  And which he had actually at Cavalino and I thought that thing might have been sold
• 15:51
  because it was Nigel Mansell's old F40.
• 15:54
  I believe it was curated, the way it was presented, I believe it
• 15:57
  was from curated, but I could be wrong, so don't quote me on it.
• 16:02
  But the one cool thing that was there was Jim Glickenhaus.
• 16:05
  I don't know how familiar you are with, you know, IMSA, you know, Le
• 16:08
  Mans, that kind of stuff and Sebring.
• 16:11
  But, you know, Jim Glickenhaus is a huge motorsports fan and a big Ferrari person.
• 16:17
  But, um, he's signed to take on big, whatever you want to call
• 16:22
  them, Toyota, all those guys at Lamar and build his own car.
• 16:27
  Now he had built some cars in the past where he actually
• 16:29
  took, you know, Ferrari chassis.
• 16:31
  The one was beautiful.
• 16:32
  He took the Enzo chassis and built that P3 P4.
• 16:36
  Um, thing was stunning race.
• 16:38
  It did it at Nuremberg, at Nuremberg ring, 24 hours, you know, did really
• 16:41
  well, um, for like a small, just, I want to say homegrown team, but
• 16:45
  you know, they did rather well.
• 16:47
  So, but you know, last year, just because of COVID that kind of had
• 16:50
  some, I would not say setbacks, but you know, it just kind of slowed the.
• 16:54
  The, uh, build up the, um, what's the word I'm looking for the development
• 17:01
  of the car, uh, and for them at Lamar, Lamar, they, they went, you
• 17:05
  know, they were respectable, but you know, they got the balance of
• 17:08
  competition, uh, that they got to do or balance of performance, I should say.
• 17:13
  So this year is going to be interesting.
• 17:15
  I know they were headed down to Sebring and they're only going to have one
• 17:19
  car there, but then at Lamar, they're going to have two cars, but now I
• 17:23
  saw it interesting enough that they had posted that they actually have.
• 17:26
  I don't know if it's the second car that something fell through or what
• 17:28
  but they were advertising as hey You want to come in and you know be
• 17:33
  part of this and for Lamar some crap like that So I don't know something
• 17:36
  happened or what what fell through but anyways, you know Jim Glickenhaus
• 17:40
  himself was there at the event.
• 17:41
  He's actually there both days Saturday and Sunday and super nice guy So I
• 17:45
  talked to him for I don't know a good half hour just kind of going over the
• 17:47
  car, you know They had there was there about two weeks away From being, uh, the
• 17:53
  homologation for it to be able to, you know, get these things road certified so
• 17:57
  they could actually start delivering cars.
• 17:59
  Um, their plan is, I think he said it was to do about 30
• 18:03
  cars this year, 25 to 30 cars.
• 18:05
  And the next year, like do 100 to 150 cars.
• 18:07
  Um, and maybe like kind of cap it at that.
• 18:10
  Um, and a couple of different styles of it was really cool.
• 18:13
  You know, and you have variations.
• 18:14
  You could get a manual in it if you wanted.
• 18:17
  Um, you know, shift your own gears, or if you want to get to the, you
• 18:19
  know, the paddle floppy paddle box, you could get that also.
• 18:23
  But what was kind of interesting is the interior on the car he
• 18:26
  had there was leopard print.
• 18:28
  Um, that's something I would choose, but it did really, really stand out.
• 18:33
  That's for sure.
• 18:34
  Um, but I highly, you know, recommend you go check out Glickenhaus's, uh, website,
• 18:38
  uh, Scooteria Cameron Glickenhaus or Glickenhaus Cameron, something like that.
• 18:43
  Um, I forget how he actually has it worded, but look up Scooteria Glickenhaus.
• 18:47
  And look up his, uh, the team and stuff like that.
• 18:50
  And, you know, they got a cool, you know, they do a lot of
• 18:52
  updates on Facebook and that.
• 18:54
  And they're getting ready, obviously, they're going down to Sebring
• 18:56
  because that's the next weekend.
• 18:57
  So they're getting ready for the Sebring 12 hours.
• 18:59
  And that'll be a good touch for that car because that thing
• 19:02
  just beats the heck out of cars.
• 19:03
  That is not the smoothest of tracks.
• 19:05
  I don't know if any of you guys have been down there, but I've
• 19:06
  actually raced on that track.
• 19:08
  And let me tell you, that thing is not smooth at all.
• 19:11
  It is super, super rough and they don't do a damn thing about it to try and smooth it
• 19:16
  out or make it any nicer for the drivers.
• 19:18
  You just bounce around like crazy.
• 19:20
  It just beats the heck out of you.
• 19:22
  But anyways, so kind of going around then, um, you know, they had, you
• 19:26
  know, a few other things in there now.
• 19:28
  This being the 75th anniversary of Ferrari, they didn't have
• 19:31
  anything on Saturday per se.
• 19:32
  They had, you know, a few Ferraris there and what not.
• 19:34
  Um, but really nothing crazy.
• 19:37
  And, you know, kind of wandering around.
• 19:38
  They had some, you know, other decent stuff.
• 19:40
  The one thing I was kind of surprised was, I thought they'd have more vendors there.
• 19:44
  They'd have like more, you know, booths, uh, people selling things.
• 19:46
  Now, they had a few.
• 19:48
  Um, but, I don't know if it seems to be because it's like, you know, they've
• 19:52
  been to quite a few of these things.
• 19:54
  And, it seems to be there's always, A lot of artists selling paintings,
• 20:00
  you know, uh, car paintings, what have you there and not cheaply.
• 20:05
  Um, the one person's, uh, booth I went into seven grand, 13 grand,
• 20:11
  15 grand for some of these things.
• 20:13
  And no, you're not talking some big, huge mural, you know,
• 20:15
  mural, mural, uh, get that out.
• 20:18
  Um, you know, it's just a standard size, you know, poster size, what
• 20:23
  you would call it, you know, I mean, yeah, they're gorgeous and
• 20:25
  looking at it, but I don't know.
• 20:26
  I mean, I guess it's all in the beholder and what someone
• 20:29
  values something at, but I mean.
• 20:32
  I'm not in the position that I can just go and spend, you know, seven, eight, 10
• 20:35
  grand on, you know, something like that.
• 20:36
  I'm just gonna hang on the wall and I don't have that kind of money anyways.
• 20:40
  Uh, but obviously a lot of people do.
• 20:41
  So that's one thing you do notice when you go these things, there is lots
• 20:44
  of people with lots of money there.
• 20:46
  But, um, anyway, it's kind of wrapping up, you know, Saturday,
• 20:48
  like I said, Saturday was great.
• 20:50
  It was cool.
• 20:50
  I said it was packed.
• 20:51
  And when I was pulling in again, I had to pay.
• 20:54
  Forty dollars for parking because my bad back I can't really park too far
• 20:57
  away because I can't only I only can do so much Walking so it's like I just
• 21:00
  gotta bite the bullet and I just pay for the parking Which is nice because
• 21:05
  then they had a golf cart to you from that that section which was you were
• 21:08
  close Because I was paying for it hours.
• 21:11
  You were relatively close to the event So but they still had a golf cart that would
• 21:14
  take you over to the field or anything was and you go in and they were pretty
• 21:19
  Diligent in regards to checking all your bags and whatnot and pulling stuff out.
• 21:26
  Um, you know, I had a camera, you know, and a couple of camera
• 21:29
  sticks, that kind of stuff.
• 21:30
  I had to pull all this junk out of this bag.
• 21:32
  It was just a pain.
• 21:33
  I mean, I get it, but it was a bit overkill to me if you ask.
• 21:37
  Um, so anyways, So wrapping up on, you know, when you went up to around the
• 21:45
  hotel's entrance itself, the circular drive, you know, they had McLaren
• 21:48
  had a really cool setup up there.
• 21:50
  The one thing was neat and you had a sign for it and it got booked up pretty quick.
• 21:54
  There was Porsche had where you could do test drives.
• 21:56
  And.
• 21:57
  I'm not quite sure where the route was.
• 21:59
  Cause I didn't get to go on it cause it was booked up.
• 22:01
  Um, but you actually got, and I don't think someone was in the car with you
• 22:07
  from Porsche, I think they, Hey, they took the car and they had the Macan.
• 22:10
  Uh, they had a Tican, uh, no nine 11s.
• 22:14
  I don't believe.
• 22:14
  Um, and I think a Cayenne, I think it was there too.
• 22:17
  So I'm not quite sure they got it, but Hagerty also had.
• 22:20
  The same thing.
• 22:21
  So now I really didn't go and inquire about this one either, but
• 22:23
  they had classic cars where you could take them for a drive again.
• 22:27
  I don't know if he had to pay for the Hagerty one.
• 22:30
  I know the Porsche one was free.
• 22:31
  Just had to sign up.
• 22:32
  Uh, the Hagerty one.
• 22:34
  I would assume you probably had to pay, but they had an old Bronco.
• 22:37
  Uh, they had a do che vo, do che vo, you know, Citroen.
• 22:40
  Um, you know what I'm talking about?
• 22:42
  One of those weird things.
• 22:43
  Um, so I didn't really kind of delve into how much cost wise and whatnot
• 22:47
  would been to test out one of those, but I seen them driving around and
• 22:51
  you can see, cause they had the big stickers on them, everything like that.
• 22:53
  So that was kind of cool.
• 22:55
  You know, so if you want to take a thing and again, I don't know how big.
• 22:57
  Or how long you go for a drive on this thing.
• 23:00
  And other thing was, is traffic was horrendous.
• 23:02
  So not really quite sure where you're going to go very far, especially those
• 23:05
  old cars, I would imagine those things kind of get hot pretty damn quick.
• 23:10
  Uh, you'd be watching that temperature gauge.
• 23:14
  But anyways, so I got done pretty early on Saturday too.
• 23:18
  Again, I would wrap things up around like two o'clock and get, get everything
• 23:22
  out of there, put it, present the words.
• 23:23
  And you know, I'm not an awards person.
• 23:25
  Hey, what'd you do good for you for winning?
• 23:27
  So I left and I went to the beach and I mean, it wasn't like it was in
• 23:31
  the eighties or anything like that.
• 23:32
  It was only in the low seventies, but Hey, he's still, the sun was out.
• 23:35
  What not?
• 23:36
  It was nice.
• 23:36
  But anyways.
• 23:37
  So, Sunday rolled around, so knowing what was going on since I kind of got a late
• 23:41
  start Saturday and saw how bad traffic was and how long it took, I got an early start
• 23:46
  on Sunday and got there pretty easily.
• 23:50
  Nice and breezy, you know, got in the road with hardly any traffic
• 23:52
  by the time I got there, because I got there basically first thing.
• 23:55
  The event didn't, they didn't start letting you in until 9.
• 23:56
  30, so I got there like around quarter to nine.
• 23:59
  Um, and there were already a lot of people there, and, which is not surprising.
• 24:04
  But, you know, we had to wait in line to get in there.
• 24:07
  Again, I think they could be a little better in regards to how
• 24:10
  they get people into the, into the field, into the event itself.
• 24:14
  Um, they had like a main entrance where they have most things, but they had the
• 24:17
  side one where a lot of people go and they only had two people scanning and this
• 24:22
  day and age, people are going ticketless.
• 24:23
  So these scanners trying to read your QR code that's on your
• 24:26
  phone is a little difficult.
• 24:28
  Anyways, so you go through and you get in and out.
• 24:31
  I said, I went into the one side now, depending on which one you went
• 24:34
  into, where it would dump you out at.
• 24:36
  So I came in the backside to where the big showcase is where the cars
• 24:39
  drive up, everything like that.
• 24:40
  So as soon as they came in, walk around.
• 24:42
  They had all your brass era, uh, pre war stuff.
• 24:45
  And I cannot remember for the life of me, cause the guy I first talked
• 24:49
  to had this gorgeous Packard and he's been on Wayne Carini's, uh,
• 24:56
  chasing classic cars, his buddy, but you know, he's got all the Packards.
• 25:00
  And so I, I talked to him for a little bit about it and I could not remember
• 25:04
  his, um, the life of me, his name.
• 25:12
  And it was, and it's still driving me nuts.
• 25:13
  And I'm going to try and look it up.
• 25:16
  Right now, real quick and see if I can pull it up and
• 25:19
  yeah, Ralph Ralph is his name.
• 25:21
  That's it.
• 25:24
  Anyways, um, he has beautiful package and that was the only
• 25:27
  one he had there is showing.
• 25:28
  And, but you know, soon as everyone's come in.
• 25:31
  So it wasn't crowded yet.
• 25:32
  So, um, so I chapped him a little bit about it, but this thing was beautiful.
• 25:35
  Again, I got pictures posted, you know, Instagram, um, got
• 25:38
  video over there and whatnot.
• 25:39
  So, uh, check it out, but you know, you go through all the pre war stuff and.
• 25:45
  These cars are absolutely stunning.
• 25:47
  I mean, just, but what also gets me is the size of these cars.
• 25:51
  I mean, these are not small vehicles.
• 25:53
  I mean, you know, cars this day and age, but God, the cars
• 25:56
  back then were just massive.
• 25:59
  And now you could see why they didn't, you know, horsepower wise.
• 26:03
  It wasn't so much, but they had a lot of torque because these things, you know,
• 26:05
  getting these behemoths up and going, but I mean, these things were massive.
• 26:09
  I mean, just these things made statements going down the road.
• 26:12
  That's for sure.
• 26:13
  Um, Gomez, that's what they had really cool is I had seen them the day before.
• 26:19
  And I don't know if they do with the concourse drive or the tour or
• 26:22
  something like that, that they have.
• 26:24
  Um, they had Davis, Divins, Divins, however you pronounce that.
• 26:29
  Um, I know they only made like 14 of them and they had like five of them there.
• 26:32
  They actually had a prototype Army Jeep one, uh, that they must've submitted
• 26:38
  for, uh, consideration to the U.
• 26:39
  S.
• 26:39
  government.
• 26:40
  Uh, now if you're not familiar with those, look them up.
• 26:42
  It's a Davis Divan, D I V A N, uh, it's a three wheeled car, um,
• 26:47
  it's been on Wayne Carini's show.
• 26:49
  They've had it, you know, here and there.
• 26:50
  It's really kind of very streamlined looking.
• 26:52
  Uh, really cool looking and, but to see that many in one spot, it's kind of crazy
• 26:56
  because they only made the 14 of them.
• 26:58
  And I'm not sure all 14 are like in this kind of presented, you
• 27:02
  know, kind of course level type condition where you could show them.
• 27:05
  I mean, these things don't get me wrong.
• 27:06
  These things weren't gonna, you know, win best of show at this thing, but you
• 27:09
  know, they were pretty decent shape.
• 27:12
  Um, so, but that was kind of cool checking those out and.
• 27:16
  Then there was, you know, uh, BMW had brought some cars too, um,
• 27:21
  which was kind of interesting.
• 27:22
  They had some older M sixes and that stuff.
• 27:24
  Uh, but they had a big boost up cause they also had, you know, their brand
• 27:27
  new cars that were kind of launching.
• 27:28
  So, and I, you know, trying to push the electric stuff.
• 27:31
  Um, and then going around the guys from curated had, they're all set up.
• 27:35
  And you know, that backside was kind of all the same set up and everything too.
• 27:37
  But the thing I want to get to is.
• 27:41
  You know, going around is, but I want to get to the Ferrari stuff.
• 27:43
  Cause Hey, this is a Ferrari marketplace.
• 27:46
  Uh, don't want to bother you and bore you with the other stuff.
• 27:49
  But anyways, I thought it was kind of humorous because are funny, humorous.
• 27:55
  I, however you want to pronounce it, but obviously five years ago when it
• 28:01
  was the 70th anniversary of Ferrari, they must've had something because.
• 28:06
  If you've ever been to the Amelia, they have signs like for each beginning of each
• 28:10
  grouping of cars, you know, nice setup.
• 28:12
  Well, this one said the 70, 70th anniversary.
• 28:16
  Why they couldn't update the sign to the 75th, I don't know.
• 28:19
  I thought that was a big, huge faux pas on their part.
• 28:22
  Why they didn't update that to the 75th is beyond me.
• 28:26
  But, no, this wasn't anything like the Cavalino was.
• 28:31
  Where they had like one from every year, but um, Brian and
• 28:35
  Kimberly Ross had brought their 1.
• 28:37
  6 mm 1.
• 28:38
  66 mm there, which was absolutely stunning.
• 28:41
  Then there was a 250 Tour de France Then you went up to the 275 Yeah, the 1.
• 28:50
  6 mm, the Tour de France, the 250 Tour de France, then the 255 or 275 Then
• 28:57
  they had a 365, uh, then they had a 288 GTO, then they had the F40, F50, Enzo.
• 29:05
  And then they had a LaFerrari and then they had the new,
• 29:09
  uh, Monza, SP Monza there.
• 29:11
  So they had a nice, you know, set up of the cars and they're stunning.
• 29:14
  Again, check out the video.
• 29:15
  I got some shorter ones of just those cars coming up.
• 29:18
  And what was really cool is they did a Ferrari parade, I guess you would call
• 29:21
  it, or that's what they were calling it.
• 29:23
  And that's what kind of neat thing there is, you know, you actually can see these
• 29:25
  things driving, started up and running.
• 29:27
  And, you know, they had to come all the way around from the backside over
• 29:30
  to where they got it because they ran them in front of the grandstands.
• 29:33
  So I got a great shot, you know, all those four hours lined up running and then
• 29:37
  getting presented going around driving, you know, they weren't driving fast.
• 29:40
  I mean, they're driving super slow, like five miles an hour.
• 29:43
  But anyways, hearing them run.
• 29:44
  Oh, I'm sorry.
• 29:45
  And I forgot they had a GTO.
• 29:48
  Duh.
• 29:48
  Um, sorry, but mine's the said the ADD always kicks in.
• 29:52
  But anyways, um, that also had the GTO was there also, um, in between the.
• 29:59
  250 tour de France and the uh, 275 was the GTO.
• 30:03
  My bad.
• 30:04
  Apologies.
• 30:05
  But anyways.
• 30:07
  So I got video of them kind of pulling up and everything like that.
• 30:09
  And then I came back around because I got those coming up and, you know, cause
• 30:12
  once they got presented, you know, they had to come all the way back around.
• 30:14
  So I got back on the other side, got a great shot of the two 88 and
• 30:18
  the F 40 coming back up and running.
• 30:20
  And, you know, they're just absolutely gorgeous cars.
• 30:22
  Those are, I have all the Ferraris out there that have been made.
• 30:26
  I mean, those are probably my two favorites.
• 30:28
  My first is a two 88 GTO is my all time favorite.
• 30:31
  And the next was the F 40.
• 30:32
  I mean, I know it's probably a lot of people's, um, Choices and but I
• 30:37
  that's what I, you know, grew up, you know, uh, 288 and f40 were, you
• 30:43
  know, my, you know, poster wall cars.
• 30:45
  So it's always one.
• 30:46
  So those are my lottery cars So if I win those depending on how much I win
• 30:49
  in the lotto I'm getting both of those and then if there's enough that I can
• 30:53
  obviously get the f50 and the enzo also and just get that whole um, the um,
• 30:59
  the holy I don't want to say Trinity, cause that's three, but the holy quad,
• 31:04
  however you want to pronounce it.
• 31:06
  But anyways, so they did a nice setup with that and have them there.
• 31:09
  You know, I thought maybe they do a little bit more just because of facts as a 75th
• 31:12
  anniversary, but there really wasn't.
• 31:14
  But that was kind of, you know, where people float in,
• 31:17
  that was the kind of the main.
• 31:20
  So it was pretty crowded around those cars.
• 31:23
  Um, now one cool thing is in some other areas they had, uh, the race cars were
• 31:28
  kind of, they had stuff from Sebring.
• 31:30
  Um, the Sebring class and, uh, from IMSA and that.
• 31:34
  So they had some other cars over there.
• 31:36
  They had a couple of Ferrari race cars.
• 31:38
  It was pretty cool to see also.
• 31:40
  So, it was an awesome event.
• 31:42
  Uh, I really, really had fun attending all the days I was down there.
• 31:46
  And I, I recommend it highly if you get the opportunity, go to it,
• 31:50
  attend it, you know, even if you're somewhere across the country, you got
• 31:53
  to do it's a vacation, what have you.
• 31:55
  I highly recommend it.
• 31:56
  I mean, now I will say this, it's not the cheapest of things to go
• 32:00
  to on Sunday for the event itself.
• 32:02
  Um, if you buy 150 bucks to get in.
• 32:05
  Like the other days.
• 32:07
  Um, you know, like Gooding's thing was, um, 30 bucks to get in, you
• 32:11
  know, so you can walk around.
• 32:12
  Uh, Saturday's stuff, they had it, it was dirt cheap to get
• 32:14
  in, I think it was only 10.
• 32:15
  But, if you buy a ticket for Sunday's event, that gets
• 32:18
  you into Saturday's stuff.
• 32:19
  So, it's not like you gotta buy all these tickets.
• 32:21
  So, but, I highly, highly recommend attending the event if you've never been.
• 32:25
  It's well worth the trip.
• 32:26
  Uh, they do a great job.
• 32:28
  Now, I know, um, Hager just took it over.
• 32:30
  So they did a fantastic job, um, and getting this put together I'm sure
• 32:34
  next year's will have a few things more streamlined and whatnot So hopefully,
• 32:38
  you know next year when I attend and then you guys go hey be even that
• 32:43
  much better So anyways, I'm gonna wrap this up I'm gonna probably start also.
• 32:49
  I've noticed that it seems to be No one's really so much Big on the events,
• 32:55
  I guess you say you're more interested in the vehicle, specific vehicles
• 32:57
  itself and maybe more to history.
• 32:59
  So subsequently.
• 33:02
  Future episodes, I'm gonna start focusing more on like getting car specific and
• 33:05
  going through a history of certain cars.
• 33:07
  Um, I think my next episode I'm going to do, it's going to be on Luigi Cianetti.
• 33:11
  Uh, we're going to talk about him, uh, and NART, the whole nine yards and how
• 33:15
  everything came about and you know, how he became, I would say Enzo's best
• 33:19
  buddy, but, uh, he's basically the one that brought Ferrari to the America.
• 33:23
  So we're going to do, uh, the next episode on him and talk about that.
• 33:26
  So give me a few days and I will have that one up.
• 33:28
  So, but again, I appreciate everybody listening.
