    His collection is crazy...that new RR he has makes it even more over the top. I guess you can buy whatever you want once you get a divorce lol. :)

    Thanks for the picture but as I recall the cars were parked on the lawn down below at the back of the Science Center. You had to drive down a very steep driveway to get on the show lawn area!
    A couple of images from the event though the street F50 present was red and not the yellow that Jay chose for the image of the event.

    Here is a little story that mentions the F50 along with it's chassis number>

    Show & Race The Group of Seven rally was something altogether different, and with the host hotel, the Westin Prince, located close to the Toronto bypass, the participants didn't have to fight the traffic to get out into the beautiful northern suburbs of Toronto. This was a fun event, with classes for both Ferraris and non-Ferraris, but imagine the dismay when former regional director Jake Silberberg won the rally in his Dodge rental car! Steve Bacen upheld the Ferrari honors by finishing 2nd in his Mondial, and concours winner Shirley was 4th in an F355. The event finished at the spectacular McMichael Collection of Canadian Art, which featured artwork by a group of leading Canadian artists called the Group of Seven.
    Meanwhile, the guys with the competition machines were receiving instructions at the famed Mosport circuit former home of the Canadian Grand Prix-prior to the track event on Saturday.
    Show & Race Among the racers present were Bill Noon, with his 500 Testa Rossa (0652MDTR), which now has a V12 engine and disc brakes, and Joe Moch, with his ex-Gendebien, ex-Franchorchamps 250 Europa GT (0373GT). Also there was Nick Icantalupo, driving his 206 SP hill climb car (s/n 028), as well as Art Zafiropuolo, with his F50 GTI (s/n 001).

    As I recall now Art also had along his red Ferrari Daytona Spyder. His buddy there had a black Ferrari Daytona coupe as well.
    F50 001 was at the show.

    That is the setting exactly. Doug Freedman was over on the other side judging the F40's on display. Thanks for sharing those images here!
    Lots of 355's present as they were the 'current model' at that time.
    That was where one of the Michigan guys had just taken delivery of a silver 355. He ordered a special brown interior that he called 'baseball glove' for the leather color.

    Sam brought the big guns in Bahrain (F50 GT, F40 GTE, 2x FXXKs, Huracan Trofeo, C6.R & F1 GTR LT). He also took delivery of this 3rd TdF. Is this the greatest car collection ever? I'd say so..

    Some of his choices for exterior finishes are a bit questionable for me, but props for going after a style that defines him with painted tire lettering & pin striping everywhere on several of his cars.

    one of the most desirable ferraris of all time imo
    would love to see a racing driver set some laps in it and prove once and for all where it sits in the hierarchy

    Sam is at Yas Marina and his F50 got some new wheels.

    If you're on Instagram, check the last stories on his profile https://www.instagram.com/mwvmnw/, there's one showing the GT having fun around the track. Nice to see someone taking "good care" of these machines, instead of locking them in a damn garage.

    From Sam:

    "Merry Christmas! I thought what better way to finish 2017 than with the car you’ve all been asking to see since the start, and my favourite race car of all time... "

    It looks better than I expected with white wheels. Glad Sam is enjoying it on a regular basis than keeping it tucked away in the garage forever.
