here is a blurb:

"A rare and exotic CCX Koenigsegg, a Swedish sports car, crashed near the intersection of Berry Hill Road and Rodeo Drive in Syosset early Saturday evening. No injuries were reported, however, the monetary damage is likely significant. The car is estimated to cost in excess of $500,000"

I wonder what they do with the car? Fix it or use for parts?

I was going to fix the price but since it was a quote I felt it better to leave it alone.

Yeah don't blame ya...but isn't it not even $500k in Europe? I alway thought it was a 800ish grand car there...just 500k pounds or so..

Whatever...its one of 34 so its sad to see.

Jeebus..I saw that first picture recently....just assumed cause of 2 eggs and bugattis that it was some rich dude in Dubai or some ish...

Gonna have to take a trip to New York it seems.

SpEcRv9 12-14-2011 07:55 PM

And really? 2 Maserati MC-12s?

What a car hog :lol:

cmr076 12-14-2011 08:03 PM

good luck finding the place ;)

SpEcRv9 12-14-2011 08:28 PM

Psh, why hide such a great car collection?

Some old guy in harleysville with a jag xj220 and some old F1 stuff amongst others told us to pop in the place whenever we wanted. That's the kinda guy I'd be with a wicked collection like that.

cmr076 12-14-2011 09:01 PM

i think I would too (and i have customers with collections that rival this one [well, not really but 8 figure collections]) and they let the public view them but say it gets old after a while having your "escape" (because these cars really are an escape from the everyday life for these rich guys just like us, only on a different scale) on display for the world to see.
