I know there’s a Ferrari F40 that crashed years ago in the targa Tasmania. Owned by a collector on the north west coast. The car was sent back to Italy to be rebuilt/restored by Ferrari and the owner was told to never drive it like that again. The front window is also signed by Niki Lauda

[@PepalaPow23]

There were stories of the contestants of the Cannonball getting passed by the locals in their regular rides because there is no speed limit on the Stuart Hwy & very few people that to most of the people in the territory doing 200+ in an old Ford Falcon was just a tuesday. I know the last time I drove the Stuart Hwy, I set the cruise control to 200 & just sat back & watched the kms go by. I even got passed a couple of times. I wasnt driving a real sports car either, it was a stock standard Holden Statesman.

One minor correction. The 1972 New York Auto Show would have been at the N.Y. Coliseum, which was at Columbus Circle where the Time Warner Center now stands. The Javits Center didn’t open until 1986.

We're also quick to jump on pointing out that although Javits was open in 1986, the auto show was still at the Coliseum that year. Jacob Javits began hosting it in March or April '87.

When I put it up for sale, I immediately had offers. One person told me they wanted the car, and assured me that they where going to baby the car in thier collection and never even drive it. To which I responded "I'm sorry I'm not interested in selling this car to you then" Dumbfounded he asked "why"? I said" because, I spent the last two years bringing his car back from the dead, it had already been sitting for 15 years, I didn't do it for nothing, and I Didn't Do It For the Money this car needs to be driven and enjoyed" I didn't sell him the car.

New Miura for Aventador replacement at Geneva 2020?

[@bm.3759]

no.

[@primespark22]

One of the best stories. Will go down on my top 5 episodes

It's actually sad that enthusiasts don't get to appreciate this car. The level of OCD here is bordering on illness.

[@biosaber585]

My grandfather owns a fully original 1967 RS/SS 350 camaro by chevrolet, original mountain green paint, original tires, everything. It's not just a car anymore, its family honestly. And this seems very similar. I salute your father and hope he enjoys many more years with his car :)

Slight point of correction: Javitz Center NYC opened Apr. 1986 (const. - June, 1979.) Prior to Javitz the NY Int'l Auto Show was held at NY Coliseum, Columbus Circle, Manhattan. Great story... thanks for sharing!!!

[@WeAreCurated]

Yes! You are correct. My mistake.

[@siddiqahmad5193]

@@WeAreCurated You nailed the details that count. But... if you're at all unsettled, just be sure to drive that thing when dad hands you the keys 😉

[@brianjschumer]

Jacob Javits Center opened in 1986, couldn't have been in the 70's.. I always remember going to the car shows with my dad. If I remember correctly they were usually held at the felt Forum at MSG..

[@ArnavDeshpande]

He used to daily a Miura on the Mass Pike?! Geez, I guess anything is possible when you have a s#!t ton of money.

[@Mark_Ser_Spec_V]

One of the greatest stories I heard on this channel , big thumbs up 👍👍

[@felixgijon8621]

I drive my cars until the wheels come off no matter the car. I'd do the same with a Ferrari 250 GTO.

[@branflakes1299]

Totally agree, I respect people with cars that keep them super clean and are show pieces but ultimately it was meant to be driven. I daily drive my 2014 Camaro. By all means it is not a rare car but some people with the same car keep them in their garage under covers and use them only on nice warm days or the weekend. If I had a Lamborghini Aventador or Huracan I would daily drive them until the wheels fall off!

[@tydeboswell]

@@branflakes1299 If I had a supercar, a daily driver and a show car, I would probably drive the supercar more than the daily for the soul reason that they are more fun and interesting to drive. Also the show car would be just too low to drive properly

[@joeladzim1225]

No you won't

[@thedukeofwales]

Felix Gijón you won’t. You can’t just say that without any actually experience with a high end car

[@13DatsyukDangle13]

@@tydeboswell I know for a fact you wouldn't. You'd get sick of everything you compromise when driving an exotic. My uncle has a 1989 Countach, and if I owned it I would NEVER drive it as my daily. I don't think you realize just how bad exotics are at being daily drivers.

The Jacob Javits Center was not completed till 1986. The NY Auto Show previously was held at the New York Coliseum which was located at Columbus Circle.

*The love his father had for that car gave me an eargasm* Im literally shaking with how passionate he was

[@TheCannonball79]

Wow! Really nice story. And I can appreciate your Dad’s love for the car and the time he’s had it. The only thing and it’s not meant as anything snide is the New York Auto Show was held at the Coliseum at Columbus Circle until the 1980’s. I loved going there and it was much easier on the feet in the smaller arena.
