I have only the vaguest of information about it. I met him about a year ago at a coffee and cars meet up on Sundays in the large vacant (on Sunday) parking lot behind Gepetto's Cafe. For the rest of the fall, there would be at least five or six good cars every week on average. But it never took off this year. Streamlining to only the first Sunday of the month might be better.
But my man comes around for a few days every few weeks. Ginny and her husband run the place. She's a fairly recent Chinese immigrant, has caught Ferrari fever in a big way. Dude keeps her informed of when he's going to be in town for the meet up, he likes to show off his stuff, and he has a good attitude about it. And all of us want to see it and Ginny wants to sell us coffee and food so it all works out.
A few months ago she told me he was in Florida buying a high end Ferrari. I briefly saw a pic, it was black and a GT. This Monza was, I think bought from the same source. He said if he sells this Ferrari, the Monza, Ferrari won't sell him car X, I didn't hear the details, it's a sought after soon to be released model. So he's getting into the hierarchy which sounds halfway complicated. I think it might be good business practice for him as he has contact with many established wineries. Having a fine stable of Ferraris is sort of proving his clout. I think, I've certainly never discussed this with him. I'm being careful now to not even hint about wanting to take a ride in one of those cars. It's not something he does, and I can well understand though he did take Ginny for a ride one time. She's a little bit of a hottie and really outgoing.
