    Hi

    I'm usually "researching" Koenigsegg, stumbled on this guy (@bemjaminkeller_91) as he was "going to buy" a Koenigsegg.

    He ordered his F12 TDF from Garage Zenith AG in Sion, specified as "plain yellow" (that's my words, I guess that's Giallo Tristrato to you guys) with Black (RIFS) wheels and yellow (CALY) calipers, body coloured ORMVs and black interior. But in the end it seems like he got taste for the car and acquired a dozen of them!!

    It seems the (first? "Giallo Triplostrato") car was delivered trough Autohaus Gohm in Germany (at least that's where the picture is taken).

    Sorry, I' don't think I'm understanding much here, but I believe you might be a little naive thinking all cars belong to the same person? It makes below-zero sense.

    Absolutely.

    What makes you think those are different cars each time.

    What I see is a tdf owner posting pics of his car...

    See the photos again, same car with 10 plates from (I think) 10 different countries and a lot of photos aren't his, so he either swaps plates (doesn't make much sense, unless you are smuggling drugs, on the run, or you just want to go full blast thru Europe, but if police stops you, one will be f+xk).

    It simply seems he has a yellow and his father has a red F12 TDF.

    I don't think he owns those cars, I remember he claimed to have a blue tailor made Aperta ...

    Same car with different plates? Maybe he is changing the wheels, calipers, ORVMs and other stuff as well? Because the cars he posts are not the same spec as the one he claims he ordered.

    Seems he "is the owner" of a LaF Aperta, only thing is that another instagramer also clams to be the owner of the same car (neither of them are the owner). He claims delivery from Niki Hasler AG, when it's in fact Ferrari Cannes.

    "His" 458 SpecialeA had US-side-markers at a picture he posted, needless to say the picture was deleted and the guy who pointed it out was banned.

    I got banned myself when I pointed out that some of the pictures of his LaFA are from Autogespot and the others are from Flickr ..

    "His" private jet is sometimes in South Africa when he is "preparing it for a trip from Bassel to London" .. if you check 3A-MGA at a flight tracker it never fits with his posts..

    I told him when he said he was going to buy a Koenigsegg that it wasn't good idea as they are very well known and well documented and easy to recognize as individuals, he would never pull it off..

    Edit: Very entertaining but seems a bit strange.. and the 10000 "fans" following him, giving serious likes and comments on his imaginary garage/life..

    NO LF or LFA or (yellow) F12 tdf was delivered through Niki Hasler AG to a man using the name "Benjamin Keller". This person is not known at the Basel dealership.

    Sounds reasonable. Someone who posts : "Like every evening I'm the last who leaves the office, driving now home in my #F12TDF" with a mobile picture of a Ferrari in a garage isn't that strange. But when the picture is really downloaded from a sales add.. and all his posts are the same cut and paste..

    Maybe he's "Just the small town guy, Livin' in a lonely world, taking the midnight train goin' anywhere" so to say? (my free interpretation of Don’t Stop Believin’) Or what's the point?

    I don't get how being a compulsive fabricator like @bemjaminkeller_91 with a cut-and-paste-fantasy-ferrari-garage could be something you want to defend? I don't get how the kid pointing at the emperor without clothes is the "Gestapo", when 10000 sheep follow this fantasy-guy and gives likes and comments seemingly without being aware of the fact that HE IS NAKED!

    Heard of AIS for tracking boats? That's why it's pathetic when (the other instgramer claiming to be the owner of the very same LaFA as "Keller") @zzmonaco claims he is at one location with "his" yacht and with google pictures you can track the picture he posted (to be from a boat show) and with AIS you can track the boats actual position (to be very far from where he claims it to be) .. and find out in a few seconds that zzmonaco is just another fantasy instagram profile.

    Sorry if I've been misunderstood... In fact my post was more about the internet in general that allows to follow almost everybody and everything, than about that Instagram liar about wich I absolutely don't care...

    Remember MTV Cribs? Instagram is the version 2.0....

    I remember once a guy begging me for a ride; as soon as he stepped into the car he took his cell and started "hello and welcome, today a good friend blabla"

    I didn't know him a minute before :)

    :D

    Every. Damn. Time! Whenever I hear people say ''A GOOD friend'' I automatically think ''person I've never met before''.

    ''My good buddy bought car XYZ''

    ****s, the lot of them.

    _benjaminkeller_ (as his instagram name currently is), are now selling his collection of six imaginary Ferraris. Let's hope no one is stupid enough to pay anything what so ever!

    .. this is also the answer to the people who ask me why I even care about someone who "builds" a made up life at instagram including imaginary garage and acts aggressive threatening on people who try to point out that they are a fraud.

    On the gtc4 lusso he is "selling"
