Stevie: Thanks for drawing my attention to this thread http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/vintage-thru-365-gtc4-sponsored-vintage-driving-machines/57256-who-anthony-wang.html The thread seems very interesting, and both men seem engaging and justifiably proud of their Ferrari connections. (I won't tell them you told me....)
Thank you for the more pleasantly worded response Steven. I have been a "professional" in the art world since 1972, so I have a feeling for your Rothko discussion. I can certainly understand a need for - and a desire for - some measure of privacy. I value that for myself. My assumption was the "owner" might like credit for the HUGE effort he has made to bring this car - and this display - to us. Showing the car and transporter in public indicated some willingness to be open to public acclaim and recognition. An easy solution to the "privacy" question is to invite "a friend" - like Rob Lay - to just post that: The owner wishes to remain anonymous. How hard is that ? Can I assume that when I show my collection (In public) of more than 30 vintage racing machines - including my 3 Ferrari cars - that I should be insulted if someone asks my name ? I'm just asking, and I am only asking here, among friends. I'm not asking friends in Paris to "hunt the guy down," I'm not doing a huge GOOGLE search, I'm not "snooping around" Talacrest. I'm just askin....... My video collection includes "Passion for Speed," and it would seem that Nick Mason has no such feelings for privacy
Thanks for pointing out my "deficit posting" John. I did a "quick click" on your profile, and see that we both own 575M's, and that we value information from TAZ. If you did a quick Google for SCOTT GUTHRIE MOTORCYCLE, you would find: Salt Addiction - Scott Guthrie - Motorcycle USA and Guthrie Swings ?The Hammer? or: (Use sound for this Youtube.

Your point is a good one sir. Is this you ? Driver // Steve Warson // Race2Play Multiplayer Online Racing or here ? Steve Warson - YouTube
Yes, just a "question....." David : I am from Sarasota, and drive a blue Ferrari. so, what would I know.....
Then you can't be all bad. My question is asked out of simple curiosity. I have opinions but no dog in this fight. Owners have every right to anonymity but if its up for sale why not say so? If it's found a home it's all to the good as well.
David: You make the point quite well, and I am willing to stop asking "the question" now that you have summerized it. I feel that I have made my REASONS for asking quite clear, and that if the owner does NOT want to be known, that's fine ! So, until he posts on FChat, let's drop the discussion, with no "Speculation, etc." Cheers, Scott
I am pretty sure that the owner did not want "....to bring this car -and this display- to us...!" This display had been organised by the dealer/restorer Mario Linke in partnership with dealer Franco Meiners. Thats all. Nothing less....but nothing more! Admire the car and be happy that you saw it. And thats it. If you want to kiss someones hands, go to Las Vegas or meet the Pope.....:)
Thank you Walter, but I am not so much into "kissing hands," unless of course you were Sofia Loren. I enjoy conversations with those I admire and respect, of whatever status. I have stood and chatted with the fastest automobile drivers in the world, and I am HARD to impress.
