Das Borgen Posted December 1, 2010 Report Share Posted December 1, 2010 from Fchat This is the car collection of Lawrence Stroll, owner of Mont Tremblant circuit in Montreal, Canada Start with the COMMON, the grand slam (288, F40, F50, Enzo). It is estimated that there are 8 such collections in North America http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y32/outlaw59/attachment-1.jpg http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y32/outlaw59/attachment-1-1.jpg http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y32/outlaw59/attachment-2.jpg Bonus points as he has one of the 33 FXX's. Rare territory indeed. I'm already impressed as any of the 5 would make a single collection and he has all 5. Further peeking around the garage: 288 GTO Evoluzione. 1 of 5, not bad http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y32/outlaw59/IMG_6476.jpg 333 SP. I think there's around 40 of these, and they cost a fortune to upkeep. Not to mention you can't exactly buy them at Carmax. http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y32/outlaw59/IMG_6522.jpg Tired of modern Ferrari's you say? Lets go vintage: P4, ~8m or so http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y32/outlaw59/IMG_6518.jpg http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y32/outlaw59/IMG_6512.jpg http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y32/outlaw59/IMG_6514.jpg Oh wait, there's another F40 in there. Except this ones a GTE. How bout some 250s? 250 TR and 250 GTO. This is a $30+m picture http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y32/outlaw59/IMG_6516.jpg Don't like Ferrari's you say? How bout these puppies: http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y32/outlaw59/IMG_6521.jpg I'd estimate that this collection would take >100 million to replicate, provided you could find some of these for sale. The artwork is stunning as well. bonus from a member of The Car Lounge Lawrence Stroll owns a lot of special things in the automotive world. Many of them would leave you breathless or jealous, or both. The three items in his possession that I find to be the coolest are a race track called 'Le Circuit Mont Tremblant' which is located north of Montreal, his McLaren F1 GTR featured here, and his McLaren F1 road car. I'm a simple fellow with a one track mind - what can I say? The point of this thread though is to share a pretty cool video of a warmup lap and the start of a race held at Mont Tremblant this past spring. Stroll is driving his F1 GTR - chassis #23R, which is one of 10 longtail F1 GTRs that were built for competition in the 1997 FIA GT series and 24 Hours of LeMans. It's fairly rare to find good footage of an F1 GTR on track, and while this isn't the best I have ever seen, it offers great sounds and great scenery. Watch the video here: I had never seen any on board footage from Mont Tremblant before. The track looks quite challenging - I'd love to drive it sometime, especially in an F1 GTR. Here's some still shots of the car. It certainly looks good on the move: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v482/Peloton25/McLaren%20F1%20H/3274611a.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v482/Peloton25/McLaren%20F1%20H/941812524_f39d5e410e_o.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v482/Peloton25/McLaren%20F1%20H/82912858oD6OHWxFMcLarenF102.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRed05 Posted December 1, 2010 Report Share Posted December 1, 2010 It just doesn't get much more badass than an F40. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Das Borgen Posted December 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2010 It just doesn't get much more badass than an F40. not at all......but The F1 GTR (#23R) in that livery is to die for also that P4 too still the F40 trumps all in my heart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceGhost Posted December 1, 2010 Report Share Posted December 1, 2010 250 GTO is worth more than F40 F50 Enzo and FXX combined. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Das Borgen Posted December 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2010 250 GTO is worth more than F40 F50 Enzo and FXX combined. indeed it is have you seen James Glickenhaus' collection? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

87GT Posted December 2, 2010 Report Share Posted December 2, 2010 I am going to win the lottery and put a functional Ferrari in my bed room. It will be my "race car" bed. Fuck all the haters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AudiOn19s Posted December 2, 2010 Report Share Posted December 2, 2010 Amazing stuff in that colection. Call me crazy, but I too would take the F40 if I could only have one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iwashmycar Posted December 2, 2010 Report Share Posted December 2, 2010 just awesome. that garage/house/basement/whateverthefuckitis is spectacular as well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crossle Posted December 2, 2010 Report Share Posted December 2, 2010 Hot sauce, F40 GTE is a bad ass car. Only see those during the F40 reunion typically, or the goodwood festival of speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oh8sti Posted December 2, 2010 Report Share Posted December 2, 2010 Pretty standard collection Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceGhost Posted December 2, 2010 Report Share Posted December 2, 2010 indeed it is have you seen James Glickenhaus' collection? I don't think so, I was introduced to a fried of my father in law's at Road America, he has most of those too, F40, F50, Enzo. You had to own the 40 and 50 to buy the Enzo. But anyway, he has a 250 GTO he RACED on the track in the vintage race. I watched him put the thing into the kitty litter and then rip off the front nose. We caught up with him latter in the pits, he said Meh, I'll get it it fixed and race next year. He's a cardiologist in Chicago LOL. I can't think of a better place to be one of those.
