    Looking for a input on all the celebrities that owned the TR or 512tr. I know Don Johnson owned the tr. Jordan owned the 512tr. Elton John the 512tr I think. Oj Simpson the glove doesn’t fit owned the tr. Who else is there?

    How many 80s and early 90s (high earning) athletes and celebs owned Testarossas?

    Answer: ALL OF THEM :)

    The decade of decadence, the decade of American Greatness baby!

    I feel sorry for people who never got a chance to see it, it was pure magic.

    End of thread

    That is definitely worth watching thank you. He was so hilarious. And his skit about changing gears in the Testa...brilliant. So sad he died young. Or youngish, I guess he would be nearly 80 now.

    A must see from a genius comic!

    I'm pretty sure Miles Davis had a TR. I remember some story where he said he had his lawyer call the Malibu police when he bought it to say, "Miles Davis just bought a Ferrari Testarossa, thought you'd like to know." So he would not get pulled over for Driving a TR while black.
