I can hear the words in every Ferrari dealership:
"A matching Ferrari pinball machine did you say?  Only $10,000! Jolly good, I'll take it.  Do you take cash for that? Great, now where is my wallet?  ...Oh darlling, do you think we can fit this in to your home gymnasium?"

The best bit about that dialogue is reading it in an old English toff accent with the image of the mascot from the Monopoly game in your head.  %.%

The wrong sort of collector isnt guys like Bowden, it is the guy who buys a car just because he can show off how much cash he has. thats called a wanker

I know that should not to be confused with
A guy who wants a certain expensive car and is in a position to buy the exotic because he loves it and because he is a true car guy


"Wankerism" aside, a majority of Ferrari owners simply don't fit that stereotype though. All of the owners I have met are normal people who simply have a passion for a certain model of car.

If anything they are incredibly frugal in many other aspects of their lives, so as to be able to afford a very expensive passion.
