    PICTURES LATER TODAY, I ASSURE YOU

    Had a once in a lifetime opportunity today driving by Ferrari Maserati of Vancouver... a chance to witness the 288 GTO, F40, F50, and the Enzo all together at one time!

    Normally all four cars are on prominent display behind glass at the dealer, but today all four were out in the "wild" (the cars were receiving some minor maintenance)

    The employee I spoke with mentioned that the dealership owner owns all four cars and actually does drive them

    It was interesting to note that the Enzo featured an Ohio license plate and the F50 a Montana plate

    Of course it is the one day I forget my digital camera but luckily I had my BlackBerry so I took as many shots as I could

    All four of the cars were red!

    A lucky, young man working at the dealer had the fortunate task of driving the cars around

    That is cool. Looking forward to the pics.

    They are US plated because from what I understand the owner of FoV is American.

    Thanks for sharing these great photos. It is one of a life time experience. Even though I pass by FMoV numerous times, I don't have a chance to see these beauties that close.

    The F40 at FOA is an interesting 1991 model. It was sold originally through a European dealer but was built to USA version specifications...
    Probably doesn't even have 5,000 miles on it yet.

    Are you serious? Does the owner have an FXX, Enzo, F50, F40, F40 GTE, 288 GTO and 288 Evoluzione?

    That is the most insane thing I have ever heard.. and coolest :D

    What does he have besides those? And do you have more pics? :D

    pretty set of cars there :) Thanks! I guess F50 GT's are a bit harder to come by LOL (Even if we could call a 333 SP an F50 at heart)

    Yes I'm jealous you were there :)

    FoA had the F40, Enzo, and 288 at a car show in MS here a couple weeks back. The F40 only had 1200 miles on it give or take a couple. So thats only like 70 miles a year it has been driven since it was built. The Enzo had only about 250 miles on it I believe. And the 288 had something like 175 or 275 km on it.

    I've seen three major (100+ cars) privately owned car collections so far. One on a regular basis :)

    I've seen seven 10-30 car collections...

    I'm still jealous :D
