    I think it was at another auction in the meantime as was his Aston Martin DB 5 Shooting brake.
    The 330 I think is also his.
    I think I haven't expressed enough that I absolutetly love shooting brakes!

    I also usually appreciate shooting brakes.
    I have missed a Artz Porsche 928 that was in Norway.

    Mr P. collection was really impressive.

    A few feet away, a fat, obnoxious, grossly arrogant, old one-percenter was enjoying his 15 minutes of fame amid the mindless adulation of the drooling and texting unwashed over his brand-new FF Ferrari that he had just picked up at Ferrari of San Francisco that morning and condescendingly announced that "I thought the spectators wanted to see it, since it's the first FF sold in Northern California".

    The difference between the classic sports racer with impeccable provenance vs. the current, flashy, plasticky, 4-wheel drive, robotically built SUV coudn't have been more dramatic and telling about the state of sports cars in general today.

    I was at the F1 race in Montreal a couple of years ago and in front of the hotel Ferrari uses there were all the latest offerings from Ferrari - and an original GTO. I was the only one in awe of those lines. The glam set were falling all over the latest post Enzo machines.
