Mr. Glickenhaus

im a punchline type guy and i successfully ignored this debate since the beginning. can someone tell me who was it who ultimately called Jim out and what was the defining piece of evidence?

 

Steve Robinson called him out. The defining piece of evidence (lots of pieces to choose from) for me was the May 10, 2016 letter from Mauro Forghieri to Steve Robinson, designer/creator at Ferrari of the real 330 P3/P4 #0846, that refers to Jim' car as "falsa P4 di Glinkenhaus[sic]". Forghieri is outright calling Jim's car a fake after reviewing the comparative photos. End of story.

 

Indeed, I wonder how many other members have gotten away with threatening to sue people without being banned?

Like most realized ideas, it would have been a collaboration resulting from something as simple as JG expressing that he'd like something along the visual and modern ultra-performance lines of the P3/4 based upon modern running gear, and AP noting that they could likely do it with an Enzo. It wouldn't have been realized without both parties' contributions.

Carry-on with your crusade. Looking forward to your more impressive SRSG-1 on the road!!

 

Which of Jim’s 2 “Ferraris” inspired by p3/4 is more valuable?

 

That’s not the 2 cars I was referring to. The scud is not even a “pretend” Ferrari now.

 

Legal collateral? Anybody can threaten to sue. What bugged me was FerrariChat let him get away with it.

 

Huh??? Glickenhaus threatened to sue me. I didn't think it was innuendo. I told him to bring in on. He never did.

 

Don't have the time or interest. It was probably in the 2011/2012 timeframe.

 

If the time comes that he actually files against this site please make the members aware. I wouldn't have an issue paying an augmented fee for such a cause and I doubt many others would either.

 

Good for you. Getting sued sucks. But one good thing is you get open-ended discovery. You can ask any questions on anything.

 

The evolution of childish treats:

"My daddy can beat up your daddy!"

"I'll sue!"

 

Since you keep asking, re Glickenhaus's SCG003 that you are going on about, shouldn't its real name be MAT00... whatever number... by Paolo Garella, which is who really built these cars? Yes, I know with JG's money. Has Glickenhaus actually built and completed any car yet? Just curious.

 

Golden Rule of naming the project. Jim has the gold to finance the project and name it anything he wants.
Ummmm...... Asking about the existence of JG cars that have track times, and even one you've provided video of, is a little.......... awkward.

 

Good lord - for WHAT?

 

Yes we all know he has the finance but what has JG/SCG cars designed/built and completed in its New York Factory?

 

If the "story" ended on May 10, 2016, why are so many still here arguing and creating more confusing or misleading claims regarding it (see above) ?

Also, while the "story" of the 0846 or its "ending"(?) was never really that important to me and likely will not have any effect on my life or the price of rice in upcoming years, I apologize for questioning something probably obvious, but could you or some one point me to this "letter" or published photo copy of it ?
I admit I wasn't following the saga very closely and must've just missed that post or link to its publication and I'm not interested enough to dig thru all that nonsense again.

My last (vague) recollections from "that thread" is that eventually someone was posting a lot of pictures with multi color lines and arrows pasted all over them, but when I (and perhaps others ?) questioned the authenticity and origin of each of them, no one, including the poster, bothered to come forward to offer verifiable proof or at least reasonable evidence to remove any doubt which photo actually represented which exact car/VIN. I also recall inquiring, more than once, about the bona fides, including first-hand experiences of a certain "expert", but to no avail. Perhaps I was just too far back in the peanut gallery or focusing on something other than prevailing narrative of the disagreement at the moment to be bothered with.

So, as far as I see it, no one won that argument and as long as that or any other potential outcome doesn't effect handling or performance of any of my cars, I really don't care.
The world history is filled to the brim with much much more important discrepancies or misrepresentations effecting everyday lives of many to waste this much time and energy to argue over a single car or it's owner.
OTOH, I guess we all need some justification for our mere existence, both here and in the real world.

 

Mostly Steve, but I think I had a hand in it as well pushing for confirmation of the front of the car. Everyone was concentrated on the back
