    Wouldn't want you to think I was "pounding" on you or whatever.

    I put a smiley in there, instead of "resorting to name-calling and goofy pictures", Wayne.

    20-30yo memories need brushing up sometimes.

    Perhaps I may know as much as some here, maybe more, but I have little to prove to you or anyone[documenting knowledge of history/particular cars].

    Least of all be chastised by a car dealer on how I "should take a lesson from him[Jim G] on how to have an adult discussion".

    So "man up" yourself.[I put the comment in there as a half-hearted jest, and you jumped all over it. Stereotypic if nothing else.]

    As you pointed out in your previous post, I said nothing at all about your error, so I fail to see how you thought you were being challenged to prove anything to anyone.

    Never told you to take any lessons from me. Maybe you should cool off and then read through that post again.

    In the meantime, this is the last you'll hear from me on this issue, as we're messing up a perfectly normal thread. If you'd like to continue to bicker, please take it to PM or email.

    Not bickering, Wayne. I just responded to a question, jested about your earlier correction of Scott. Sorry you are so touchy :(
    I clarified my egregious errors in brackets for you. You have PM.
    Enough wanging around...back to Wang's wrong wong. I think. :D

    Ok, so lemme get this straight. The Wang from the U.S is the Computer Associates Wang. What does the Wang in Britain do?

    Or did I get this all wong?

    Beautifully done!!!


    I always assumed they were somehow related, but it seems they're not. You can't fault their tastes however!

    My next door neighbor growing up was Steve Wong, and on his answering machine it said, "Hello, You have reached the Wong Number."

    I admire anyone who gets into the GTO realm, but a dyno in the garage is even better.

    reviving an old thread here but is there a 250 GTO page anywhere with a register and ownership histories ( and photos )

    these cars are out of my reach now but i do love to study the engineering involved

    its artwork to an engineer :)

    wish i could meet Mr and Mrs Wang one day and listen to their racing and collecting history , lots of golden knowledge there , its a pity there were not more books around on these things

    the small detailed bits of knowledge from previous owners , mechanics , race drivers etc may all seem unimportant to them at the time but such things should be documented and saved for posterity

    the history on these cars is worth more than money folks

    Anthony was the President of CA for many years and was installed there by his brother Charles who was the companies founder.

    This from Wikipedia so take it for what its worth.

    In 1979, three years after CA's founding, Wang had installed his older brother Tony, a one-time corporate lawyer, as president and COO. Tony held the position until his retirement in 1992 to make way for Sanjay Kumar, who joined CA via its 1987 acquisition of archrival Uccel Corporation.

    When Anthony left the Company (retired i believe) he was replaced by Sanjay Kumar who was also an avid Ferrari collector. Sanjay went on to replace Charles as CEO and eventually went on to become chairman.

    I currently own one of the ex Kumar cars so did a little digging after my purchase.

    Doesn't Tony own the Steve McQueen NART spider, or am I mistaken?

    Pampers, so to speak.
    And there are millions of people named Wang on this planet. It is like Smith or Miller.
    There is no relation between Anthony W. Wang (Long Island/NY) and Brandon Wang (UK). Except that both own/owned Ferraris.

    Tony and Lulu are marvelous folks. And true enthusiasts, long before the cars were valuable...

    They brought these to my little race a few years ago.

    The majority of the Wang Ferraris are now gone. This LM (#6119) was sold November 2009 by the Wang's.

    Yes, unfortunately. They shared them (by bringing them out) so we all could enjoy!
