Awesome page, lot sof nice pics! Who is Armen with all the red cars?? You got any pics of Benny Caiola's collection?

 

Anyone know when it'll be re-run or if we can buy a copy of the show? I was only able to see a few minutes of it and didn't get it on TIVO..

 

This is Armen..... http://ferrarichat.com/forum/member.php?u=1562
He has an awesome collection.

 

I was fortunate enough to see Lauren's collection in person in Boston a few years back. Yes, we are on a Ferrari board, BUT the Porsche 959 is absolutely stunning in person!

 

I watched a show on Discovery Channel. Stunning collection. My favourite is the 8C

 

Ralphie has 2 or 3 McLaren F1s? One of those alone makes your collection great, and he has 3 of them .

 

On the show he said he got 2 of as many cars as he could so his children would not have to fight over them.

 

WOW!

That is the best picture link I've ever seen........I'm speechless.

Well done Jonas!

 

Saw the RL car collection last night on TV, it was amazing.

 

I saw the episode, and I also got to see the exhibit in the flesh in Montreal a number of years ago, and it was incredible! The man has excellent taste.

 

His collection was displayed in a Museum some time ago, who then published it...search "Speed, Style and Beauty"....it's a nice book.....

 

Was the museum in Austin? The setting was breathtaking. The curatorial theme was also interesting - aero at various stages leading to beauty derived from form

 

Boston, IIRC.........I have the publication I'll look for the ISBN number if you send a PM to remind me!

 

No museums in Austin, LOL!

Just my buddies, playing great live music and clinking long necked beer bottles!!!!!

 

I KNOW this is a repost (no repost cards please ) but I figured the OP would like to see it.

An encounter with Ralph and his Veyron here in Colorado by a local FChatter:

Its been posted alot on FChat and other discussion groups and DDemuro's pictures have spread to quite a few websites (is "Viral Pictures" a word?)

James in Denver

 

I don't know if anybody remembers this, but years ago (I think maybe late 80's) there was a TV special on Mr. Lauren, his cars, his harem of models, and his general lifestyle.

He was shown driving a red Testarossa, some of the best shots of someone actually driving this car I had seen (including Miami Vice).

I was instantly set straight on a couple of things -

a) - not everybody in the fashion industry has a "testarossarone deficiency"...

b) - someday I would own a red Testarossa even if it meant a divorce and selling the dog.

I still have the dog, BTW...

 

Thank you Took some time to gather the collection of photos If anyone has anymore, feel free to mail them to me and I will add them.

 

It's an impressive collection.. but I think you'll find that not everyone agrees with his restorations as the history and experience of the cars tends to get washed out in favor of factory originality (a term which is a paradox for some of these examples).

To each his own.. but it's just not for me.

 

The cover story last month of Men's Vouge is of him and his collection. Nothing new, but I found it interesting he took the author for a ride in his 430. Damn if it was me I'd be begging for a ride in the 250 gto, testarosa, Jaguar D type, McLaren, etc. anything but the 430.

A funny tid bit is his son is dating Lauren Bush.

Lauren Lauren if they get married.

 

repost.

a couple of his classic ferraris are former cars of fchatters

 

I need his 250 LM
