Did anyone catch this show? Fantastic, the restorer of a number of his cars is 5 miles from my house, Paul Russel & Co. Alot of the scenes of the cars driving were shot at Crane Castle just a stones throw across the river from me.

I sold my old '73 Land Rover to an apprentice who worked at Russel & got a behind the scene tour. What a place.

It may be airing again, try & catch it.

I caught that on Saturday... Fantastic! I like it when a man of means like that creates a collection that really gets enjoyed. Not just for their investment value or braggin rights, but because he really enjoys and appreciates them.

Well worth watching.
 
He's got nuthin' without Crypty in there.............
 
Yeah that was a VERY interesting show...
something of great interest to me was the 1938 Alfa Romeo 8C-2900 Mille Miglia Spider.

A strange coincidence.... A friend of mine was talking about how he got to ride in an unrestored 1938 Alfa Romeo 8C-2900 Mille Miglia Spider. How cool would that of been? Riding in a car that only 4 exist in the world! It was (don't know if its still unrestored as its been privately sold) the car that Paul Russel sent a team of photographers to Cincinnati to document for Lauren's car.

That Alfa used to show up at the ault park Concours d'Elegance event in Cincinnati. The idiots planning the event told the owner to not bring the Alfa anymore.... so i never got to see it.
 
That was a great show. I liked the restoration of the Alfa as well. I think it's great when a guy like that collects cars, and actually drives them. I'm not a big fan of the guys clothes line, but I have a bit more respect for him now. (I'm sure he appreciates my approval :smile:)
 
Great show. Jay Leno looked a little frumpy next to Ralph Lauren didn't he?
 
It makes you wonder what would be in your own collection with unlimited funds. Not that I haven't thought about it before.
