If Stern re-did the artwork on Mustang to convert it to a Ferrari pinball, and put a posters up in each Ferrari dealerships, you might find Stern would sell all of their remaining stock of Mustang/Ferrari.

Anyone buying a new Ferrari would likley buy the Ferrari pinball machine as an impulse buy, in the same a normal person would get a coke at the cashier on the way out of a supermarket.  What's another $10k on a pinball when you have just spent nearly $1m on a car, and the maintenance/fuel/insurance costs are about $10k per year.


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.

Toadyism is a far worse character defect.

Highly contagious and without precautionary steps, has the potential to infect entire States.

My comment seems to have been missed :(

     So you were serious about putting your name down for one? 

How many cars do you have?

     So you were serious about putting your name down for one?

You missed the wink,dd.  ^^^ At that price, it is a bit over the top, even for a Ferrari.

We have been collecting vehicles for many years. At its peak we had about 150, but some of them were sold off as the storage space required was getting absurd and they were spread over multiple properties.

Collection is at around 100 vehicles now, but still spread over multiple properties unfortunately.




Fox and the grapes, champ. Fox and the grapes.

You won't find me at the address you posted either.
