    This man owns the most gorgeous 599 I've seen to date. White on white with red stitching. I saw it at the St Pete Festival of Speed last weekend and was speechless. The plaque on the dash is the only reason I knew who's it was. Does anyone have pictures of the car they could post? I had no camera unfortunately. Does he own others?

    Well, at least he can "sleep well at night."


    Ooops, a little M FaUX humor.

    I mean, wha da Fux.


    Arrrrgh...at least his parents didn't name him Dick Buttkus.

    I believe he owns the ex-works Aston Martin racer in ALMS, run by Jim Bell Racing in Miami.

    They featured him in a Forza recently (last year or so), Oh My God what nice cars. He doesn't get the normal Red/Tan, oh no, custom color interior and exterior. The man knows how to play the Ferrari game and plays it well.

    white/white 599 looks great but I think its a garage queen...I cant imagine driving that car without it getting instantly filthy.

    :D nice

    They were saying he had "bookends" out there, for all of his cars. I figured I'd ask you guys since so much BS is spewed at those shows, and I'm not his accountant, like many enjoy acting so.

    He did great on that design! I had seen the yellow one briefly at Shelton just after it had arrived, but didn't know who's it was.

    It was a GREAT show I though. I was there for the powerboat club run, but enjoyed seeing the cars right next to the marina.

    If you google Mr Fux the first link in the results is this one.

    http://www.wsws.org/articles/2006/apr2006/rich-a19.shtml

    Its a nut job socialist article. Odd. Ive never read such a pile of crap before. The article is not flattering of him, though it mentions him in passing as an example of the evils of capitalism. I wonder if he knows about it? Or cares?

    Agreed. I know it may not be everyones style, but I think that 599 is the nicest one ever made.

    I agree, that car is fantastic. Never liked white F's, but that is stunning. What does this guy do/own?

    Michael Fux is a real gentleman.

    Mention a children's charity and he will pay to ship 15 of his 70 + cars to the show, such as his Veyron, his Schumacher autographed F2003, his FXX, his Saleen, etc.

    I am very honored to know Michael Fux.
