Remember these exotics?

http://img258.imageshack.us/img258/9748/449nj.jpg

from this thread: http://forum.finalgear.com/viewtopic...831&highlight=

Well, I found an article (http://www.ta.no/bil/article1799517.ece) about the owner of the exotics!

Translation of above article:

Quote:
"- I almost never drive a car, and haven't sat in every one of these cars. I preffer to ride horses", says Thor Johannessen.

If you have 8 million NOK, (1 million EURO) spare, Johannessens red Italian Pagani Roadster can be yours

"- That is the one I drive", says Johannessen and points at a silve fourwheel drive Japanese car. Johannessen doesn't ever drive these exotics that Autostrada (cart dealer) has borrowed.

"- I'm no racedriver. I'm too old", he smiles.

The cars were delivered from France to "Skien", where they will be exobited to mark the 10 year anniversary of the car dealership.

"- I actually don't know much about cars", claims Johannessen
He wants others to enjoy his cars

"- There are more people at car shows than at art showings", says the man who originally is from "Skien". Every one of his cars are for sale. Johannessen has collected exotic cars for three years.

"- Are these exotics an investment"?

"- It's difficult to say", says Johannessen. He will make a fortune on this exibit. One person has showed interest for the Pagani Roadster and the F-50.

Johannessen is also exibiting a Murcielago and a Gallardo. Monday they will be exibited at Skøyen, Oslo. (I work nearby, and missed this event images/smilies/cry.gif )

It's very expensive insuring these cars, but Johannessen isn't afraid of scrathes in the paintwork

"- No, it isn't a big deal if they get scratched. It's far worse if someone gets hurt", he says.

Johannessen is tempted to try and sit in the Koenigsegg, but hesitates.

"- It looks a bit tight" .........................................
Lots of hot hot hot pictures of these exotics ! ! ! ! !

What a waste of nice cars... images/smilies/thumbdown.gif
They don't fullfill their purpose - being driven hard and using all that performance on the track. I can understand to a certain point that these cars are very nice etc, and are beutiful to look at, but the guy didn't even sit in them. images/smilies/thumbdown.gif

Totally. They don't make many Zondas or CCRs. And somewhere, somebody had the money to buy these things but couldn't, so this jerk could joke about how he can't even drive them.

I hate this crap.

Well guys, at least he wants other people to enjoy them...just a shame he isnt letting them drive it because we would have to load Haz in one of them equipped with a camera images/smilies/biggrin.gif

Still, such a waste! All that effort into these cars and the guy doesnt even drive them nor care if they get scratched images/smilies/thumbdown.gif

so this guy has been hogging these cars, of which he's only driven one and hasnt even sat in all of them. And he drives a silver AWD japanese car, wonder what it is.
I am very tempted to call him the greatest loser that has ever lived, but then again he was just collecting the cars as art. And atleast he is letting others buy em off of him.

He could have stuck all his money in stocks or real estate, this is supporting those companies too. And keeping them in good shape.
