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"

Nothing zipties can't fix.

You crashed it?

500k in europe maybe...more like 1.4 million in america since I believe there are only 5 here..

Dave, remember the blue one that crashed out here a couple years back? Same owner :wink:

money doesnt buy driving skills

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

I dont know, but it would make a killer race car bed.

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

hahaha, better than Mr.Bean crashing his Mclaren I guess.

take a big payout from the insurance company I bet.

hahahaha awesome

The last one that I mentioned in my previous post got sent back overseas to be repaired.

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.

Pat, remember the Fast five eggs? here is the owners garage: (grab a change of pants before clicking link) http://www.luxury4play.com/garage/79...y-edition.html

That just made me sad.

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.

And really? 2 Maserati MC-12s?

What a car hog :lol:

good luck finding the place ;)

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.

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.

Love that site! Just read that whole thread... incredible

Best quote in sig: "Money is not the most important thing in the world. Love is. Fortunately, I love money" :cool:

haha theres a lot of ballers on that site, unfortunately there are a lot of fake ballers as well.
