Wow, how ttribe walked out without committing GTA is impressive.






Albeit, I don't really see many drool puddles everywhere. Were you wearing a bib?

Thanks for sharring, Herr T.

So, you go with a friend or took your boys?



I would love to go to this "spectacle" one day. I hear the drinking is a bit...uncontrolled at times. Most bidders are sh*t-faced?

Went with a friend. I can imagine the drinking getting out of hand on the weekend. We were there on a Thursday night and I was seeing plenty of alcohol flowing amongst the bidders.

I knew Fux was selling off a few of his Mercedes (as a whole collection) & many Ferraris, but I believe those are his IROC Z cars as well. Most of that should sell thankfully, because the man has created some oddball finishes.... That 599 is probably one of them; yellow on yellow interior.

Yeah the Black Series lot didn't sell Bidding hit $850k believe.

The yellow on yellow 599 was horrible. I actually liked the white on white 599 though

Top end for a SLS BS is around $500,000. The SL65 BS is probably $250,000 for a pristine example. CLK63 BS is $150,000 top end. Basically no C63 BS for sale, but past cars have sold as high as $130,000; I'd be generous to wage $150,000 for mint. Given he was expecting a million dollars, I'm guessing $850K wasn't hitting the reserve.

Personally, should've accepted that offer. You'll be hard pressed to get someone to buy all 4 cars b/c there's a high chance someone interested in this collection already has 1 of the 4. There's very, very few of the CLK/C63 cars for sale as well, so my guess he won't have much issue offloading them individually.

That 458 Speciale Aperta would be perfect stripeless.

Talking about alcohol, an acquaintance of mine bid and won on a PTS Green color with green vent slants after a few bottles of wine; we must have made fun of him for a few years.

That area is insane. Exotics all the time. I shot that outside the Rolex store which I was in only because we have a friend who works there. Free champagne!

The one thing that stood at to me when I saw the Swed Egg in person at the NYC show, was how wide the tires are. They are enormous

I visited Lamborghini of Austin today and snapped a few shots. Thanks the Ryan Mortensen (sales guy) for letting me roam around, take pictures and sit in some cars!

So I saw the car the first time when I dropped my son off at Colorado State University. The Chinese kids there are fairly well off, but a Z06?

So fast forward to this past Sunday, and you see the temp tag expired in December . Here, they base the tax on a. Ea car at about an 80% valuation, and for that one (thinking $90k purchase price) would be near $4000.

Oh, and I forgot to say he had a campus police sticker stating it has to be towed because of the tags.

^How'd you know it was him?

A few I've seen in the wild including a 718. Sorry about the quality. The stupid app shrunk it. That's an S63 at the bottom left.

He plays for the Charlotte Hornets and has taken the same vehicle to another Charlotte-area MB dealership for service earlier in the year.
