Why David Lee Started OBSESSIVELY Collecting YELLOW Ferraris!

[@jb-nc8lt]

Sam, I watched your original video with David Lee back in the day. I can’t believe it’s been 5 years! You still have the best, most artistic, car videos with the best intros and b-roll shots. Keep it up!

[@seenthroughglass]

That’s very kind. Thanks for sticking around that long!

[@jamesdellaneve9005]

David Lee is the nicest guy ever. Kudos to all of his success.

Team yellow for me! The 250 and the TDF together are stunning

[@squirtle88]

Cool! David hasn't posted in months, nice to see his collection again 👍

[@th3b0untyhunter]

There is a yellow 288. 288 GTO #47649 the 5th prototype was retained by the factory until 1987. Originally red it was repainted yellow by the factory (along with retrofitted aircon and electric windows) before it was sold to a long term customer.

[@rahulsudhir666]

I don't know if it's the same car, but there's a chap who attended Gumball3000 n a few other historic rallies such as Targa Florio in a yellow 288 GTO. That one too was supposedly resprayed yellow from the factory early on in its life. The owner is an absolute savage too. He was really gunning it during the event, exactly how one should. 😉

[@sidrens1047]

As a big fan of the channel - I’m missing the STG signature adventure/day out videos - visiting US collectors feels very Shmee-150, which does get extremely repetitive in my opinion.

[@PatrickBateman1337]

Hi Sid, I have a spreadsheet here, and I am collecting feedback. I have added this to the "Too much like Tim Burton, he'll be wearing blue socks next" tab. Please feel free to advise if you think it is in the wrong section and I'll correct. Will be sending it to Sam on 23/12/22 Regards

[@billg26]

David Lee is a real car guy! He loves to share the automotive knowledge and take people that share the same passion as him for rides in his fabulous cars and that's what it's all about! Really a nice, humble and down to earth person that deserves all the success in the world! It's great that we can go along for the journey with videos like this one!

[@jadhiantojadhianto6000]

He is really an outstanding ferrari cars collector! Pretty nice guy, i would say!! 😯😲😎

[@mkygod]

David is like the opposite of Jay Leno. David collects only Ferraris while Leno has everything except Ferraris

[@PatrickBateman1337]

Hi mkygod, you're not wrong in this observation. It actually goes deeper than that, they really are quite opposite. Apparently, due to the difference in compasses they carry in case of a sudden and chronic loss of location, they legitimately repel each other. Sounds bonkers, but I can assure you it's true.

I'd like to know how US legislators thought that the added small black bumper on the F40 would somehow make a difference in a crash or hitting a pedestrian!!!!

[@PatrickBateman1337]

Hi Alun, in the 50s, they did many tests around how energy is dissipated based on colour. They ascertained that due to black absorbing the most energy from the sun, when another energy (kinetic) came into effect, it sheds that energy like nobodies business. Hope that helps, regards x

Call me an old codger but it's the Dino, Daytona & 275 that are just jaw-dropping - the modern ones all look like manga cartoon cars trying too hard. Guess I'll never own a Ferrari....

There are two kinds of people those who drive Ferraris those who collect Ferraris Think about it and realise you are playing for the collecting team making vids like this. Ferraris are about being driven.

[@Paul-D]

This video confirms the F12 TDF IS my favourite Ferrari including the classics! Its taken me 3 years to admit it haha

I pick the red side but the Daytona looks best in yellow. Also i would choose a Testerossa/512TR in yellow over red.

Having 1 red and 1 yellow of a certain Ferrari model, makes it better than just having 2 cars…. I especially love the combo.

[@realshady16]

Yellow Ferraris work for me. I remember reading somewhere that yellow was Enzos favorite color. My first new car purchase in 1976 was colored yellow.

[@gluca069just___it9]

Yellow is the color of Ferrari. The red color came from the color assigned to Italy in the car racing competitions in 1900s, as much racing green was the color assigned to UK, for instance. We all know how important racing has always been for Ferrari from day one and this explains why red is considered from many people the distintive Ferrari's color. Yellow Ferraris are possibly the purest Ferraris.

[@jeffreykilpatrick3592]

With enough money collecting expensive cars is not a journey- it is easy to write checks. Easier to just post your financial statement to impress the poor people and no oil changes.

Not going to lie, I hate the black headlight surrounds on the Giallo F50. I think Ferrari made the right call going to body-colored headlight surrounds on the later F50s (like the Rosso F50 immediately across).

Actually, the first and real Ferrari color was not Red, but Bright Yellow. Red is the color of the Modena city where Ferrari is located. Later on, the red color became the official Ferrari color.

People can hate on someone successful, who spends more on one cars service in 1 year than their total income, but that’s life. Some people work hard; are successful financially and can do this. The luxury in latter years is that people can view this and not receive the bill! As a V12 Ferrari owner who isn’t a billionaire this is golden!
