Hmmmm,

Been to a few of those establishments I see....!


Ok, here are your strippers without robes..

The DB9 is a 1/1 in the USA with Aston Green body with Parliament (Green hood and leather interior) The pictures do not do the car justice, and it's very hard to photograph due to the colour.

The F612 Scaglietti is an OTO (One to one) or Atelier (tailor made) car. It is 1/50 made between 2008-2010 for the USA market. It was the Ferrari flagship at the time and was only available as a special order. It has a panoramic roof, diamond stitch, carbon fiber everywhere, and a whole load of stuff that I don't know how to use yet, as I am still reading the manual. It's basically a 4 seat 599.

I will be at sharktoberfest with the 612 this year, as the 928 is not yet ready.

The beige building is my warehouse/shop where I keep all the car related stuff etc.. I have owned many cars after the 928. These two are some of my favourite, and are quite special. With that said, I still love my 928, and always will.

Best Regards, and happy viewing.

I could try to convince the owner to part with the gold wheeled car, but it would take some vociferous explaining to the other half, so better to just have lunch with the owner and enjoy the day than have domestic disturbance in the universe...

Stumbled on this old thread... Lots of cool cars on this list!
Thought I’d put in my 2 cents.

Traded out one “28” for another “28”. (928 for a Z/28).
I pulled the trigger on a 2015 Z/28 2 yrs ago, didn’t end up selling the GTS UNTIL a year ago this month.
Wanted to get into MERICAN muscle again as I hadn’t had a muscle car since I was in college.

Looked at and drove a bunch of cars including the HELLCAT, C6 Z06 and ZR1.
One drive in the Z/28, I decided to put the GTS on the market and never looked again at the other 3 I just mentioned.
This car reminded me of an old bad *** muscle car w modern technology.
LS7 7.0 liter V8, 505hp, 305 tires all the way around, dssv suspension (like F1 cars), carbon ceramic brakes....
It was not marketed well, they only made 1,800 of them in 2014-2015. Very spartan, (AC and radio are the only options)
For that reason, my car was in the showroom for 2 years w 55 mlies on it, discounted the car 25%, so after the test drive I had to have it!

Totally different car than the 928. Not refined, it’s a friggin Chevy for cryin out loud...
But man, when you turn the key This car is just a BEAST!!!

I came across this video the other day. After the POV drive, they talk about what the car is all about. It’s been a blast to say the least. Especially with a Sammy Hagar cd in at full blast!


Chris HARRIS liked it so much he ended up buying a Z after this test drive...

I’d move first, before conceding garage limitations

I’ve driven a few Z/28 Camaros. Nice cars, but different mission than a 928, and none of the refinement. Modern features aside, the Z is pretty crude and with those super fat front tires, a chore in daily use. The 7.0L was the last of an era, and even more fun when supercharged! Enjoy the new ride.
