(emphasis added)

I've put that information together with this post by 410SA...

Any chance we have a Koenigsegg owner here on F-chat?

PS - I recently read 410SA's thread about "focusing his collection" and have followed his subsequent efforts to sell off some of his newer vehicles, so it would seem this is probably not a reference to him. But, it definitely is someone in Arizona - so get ready to see a Koenigsegg, Arizona F-chatters!

 

I thought this guy 410SA was into classic vintage cars and looking for a Miura

but a Koenigsegg is a must for any collector

 

Not me. The price has become too much for what the car is IMO and the biggest downside is the lack of a local dealer and service facility.
It is a stunning vehicle by any measure, but the lack of operating history, the lack of reliable local service and the "newness" of the brand all make it a no-go for me.

For that kind of money I'm shopping for 40 and 50 year old cars with some tradition and history to go along with the nuts and bolts

 

WOW! That looks amazing!

CMT, was this the car you saw on the trailer?

 

but its tempting?

 

Maybe I'll have to make a trip up to AZ

 

I wonder if Caesar's Palace would service it?

 

The owner of the Koenigsegg is not on this forum, at least not that I know of. Has LOTS of cars and usually one of the first to get the latest greatest thing on 4 wheels. You should be able to see the car around Scottsdale Fashion in the coming weeks.

 

Probably Ron Pratte.

 

I think I might have a good idea of who it is...that would fit his style....Congrats to the new owner!

 

not going to mention names or get into a "is it" game. I will reply once, it is not Ron.

 

Ron doesn't really get into the "latest-greatest" when it comes to exotics. My building is next to his compound and I see his stuff all day-everyday.
Helicopters, yes, latest and greatest. Buildings, yes, latest and greatest. Tour busses, yes, latest and greatest. Sand Rails, yes, latest and greatest.


TT

 

I'll bet you a Koenigsegg CCX its Dan, the previous owner of the orange mclaren F1. And i think he had a zonda.Wouldnt suprise me if its him. Is he a member here?

 

haha..no its not Dan, and I dont think hes a member here.

 

ill be in Scottsdale for about a week in January, I hope I can spot it out
I saw the Orange Mclaren F1 years back in Scottsdale it flew past me

 

Wow I hope that's true!

 

It was delivered to an Arizona owner yesterday. All black, carbon fiber wheels, carbon fiber wing. Very stunning and impressive car in person. Top Gear set new fastest track time with it on their show.

 

Is this guy going to come to any of the events?

 

just talked to Dan..isnt him. lets keep looking!

 

He is not in the club. He may come to event though. I will ask him.

 

Well..there went my guess...this ought to be interesting...

 

Tim G? Aka Tim on here.

 

Dont think its him either. talked to a friend of his the other day and asked about Tim and his Ferraris. He said he got rid of all of them and is doing only Baja off roaders and sandrails. Tim is a member here but I havent seen him post in ages

 

As far as service my understanding is that they send the mechanic to you from Sweden.

 

You are correct, the mechanic is shipped in the boot of the car along with the tools.
