Ferraris in a Florida barn...
About 10 years ago probably, there was an article in either Car & Driver or Road & Track magazines about a guy named the 'Mysterious Mr. M' who lived in Florida and had a whole barn/warehouse of old Ferraris socked away. They would not say his name, or the exact location (just that is was in Florida), but they showed a few pictures of like 20 Ferraris sitting UNCOVERED in this dusty old barn just wasting away. We are talking he had a P4, a P3, several Ferrari race cars, and some Ferrari street cars, and they were just sitting. It was sad, yet strangely intriguing. They wrote a whole article about the cars and the strange owner. Does anyone know which magazine issue this was? I would love to find it, but do not know where to look. I know that soon after the article somehow the IRS found out about it and seized the P4, P3, and a couple others and were auctioning them off. It was a big deal at the time. If you know this issue, please let me know.

I hope someone knows the article...it sounds like an urban legend until you see the pictures and read the article...it is unreal.

these set of pics are a couple of years old, even though they just appeared as a "recent find" in one of the popular classic car mags. this "find" is referred to as aladin's cave in many articles. they belong to a man from new jersey i believe who isn't selling them as he plans to restore them when he retires. at least that was the story about a year or so ago. these cars, however did make it onto ebay. i do not know if they were sold. wayne previous outlined the history of these cars in a previous thread. as for the florida find, i don't recall having heard of that before. unless the cars are the ones that harley cluxton finally convinced an owner to sell, the lot included the p4 s/n 0844, which was still in can-am racing spec.

heres the Info on "MrBadger" i got form EBay WHY MR.BADGER?
Guess what, It has nothing to do with badges. *************************************** It has nothing to with any sports team. ************************************** There is an English children’s story called “The Wind in the Willows” by Kenneth Graham in which all of the characters are small animals. **************************************** Years ago, I spent some time in England. Myself and the bunch of yobs that I hung out with decided that we needed “code names” and so, we each took on the name of one of the animals in the story, which ever one seemed to match our persona the best. As I was not quite as whacked out as most of my friends, I won the title of wise old “badger”. The name has always stuck with me. When I registered for eBay, that name was already taken so I simply added the “mr”. Now you know! *** mrbadger*** My real name is Derek Durst, What does THAT matter? also did a internet search and found this dont know if its him or not (maybe just someone with the same name http://www.theautomobile.ndirect.co.uk/p00_04_69_1.htm Last edited by 96impalaSS; 01-19-2004 at 09:06 PM.
