Playing The FERRARI GAME!? Buying, Allocations and Collecting

Поділитися

  • Let's talk about the 'game' of buying and collecting Ferrari cars! My garage now features three; the 296 GTS alongside Purosangue and SF90 Stradale, but with more on the way let's talk about what it means to be a Ferrari collector and especially around allocations for limited models.
    With both my Purosangue and 296 GTS arriving in quick succession, and having recently taking the Puro down to Italy and Monaco, as a result the 296 has seen very little mileage up to this point - in fact it is yet to be fully run in and ready for action. This is both of the timing, my recent travels, and the fact it actually arrived significantly earlier than expected.
    After being exceptionally fortunate to secure an allocation for the Ferrari SF90 XX Stradale, I've seen lots of comments suggesting that the likes of the 296 GTS and Purosangue are cars only bought for no other reason, so what better than to take the 296 out for a run to give my thoughts. When it comes to luxury goods like Rolex or Hermes, or any car brand like Porsche or McLaren, there's always a 'chicken or egg' situation where special cars will be allocated to those loyal customers who have bought many of their products, and been close to the company.
    It is almost certain that I will sell my SF90 when the XX is here, but continue the 296 GTS, Purosangue and inbound Roma Spider alongside others that may well arrive in future. In my opinion, Ferrari are absolutely on point at the moment with their model portfolio, and it's unbelievable to have the opportunity to buy and enjoy these cars, which if it brings the chance to then experience the likes of the SF90 XX, it's literally a dream come true.
    Thanks for watching, Tim

To watch you go from keeping a couple of cars in your apartment’s garage to a full blown showroom full of some of the best cars available today and then stay as humble and as transparent as you have is an amazing thing. Please don’t stop sharing these crazy experiences of yours!

      Of course I really hope a beautiful yellow F50 is a future shmeemobile but there are some other Ferraris I’d like to see him buy as well like a 430, 458 and 812 gts as well as something a little more classic. Hopefully those are the kind of things he is alluding to rather than just the new stuff down the line.

      ⁠@@Speednote10you don't really need to be those these days especially because the LaFerrari has ended prodution years ago and the way you can buy them is through 3rd-party dealers or owners themselves which doesn't require the blessings or allocation of Ferrari,exemption being ferrari dealers themselves selling used Laf's but I think you can get away with being a normal rich person also these days.

    I love how you can go on and on about this hobby so eloquently. I share the same thoughts you had on the different brands. The Ferrari experience is just a little more direct with the brand. You get on the hamster wheel and you will be offered the new models. With Porsche and others, not really. I'm sad about Porsche especially because they make such great cars and have many interesting limited production models but good luck getting an allocation. Great to hear your authentic voice on this subject. Thx for sharing as always! Happy New Year!

    Tim….Im too old to try to copy what you do and now it is impossible to catch up but I do admire your honesty and ability to explain just how to obtain and enjoy these cars. I have had a lifetime of cars and started out experiencing Pre War stuff when it was old and tired junk…not by owning it but being surrounded by the cars of my Dad’s friends. I have seen the entire World of motoring change and now we have new challenges and cars beyond the imagination of anybody even thirty years ago. That you can experience so many super cars that few will ever ride in let alone drive, is remarkable but I fear your motoring future is going to be a tangled picture…I don’t know where it is going.
    Now for me…I can buy a Porsche but my wife’s mobility means only a Macan or Cayenne will work. I can buy a Roma…but she cannot get in one so that kills Ferrari and no, a Purosangue is just impossible to buy! There are loads of cars but age and growing infirmity of family and oneself means….you cannot buy what you WANT but what life lets you have. So Tim…keep buying these dream bars, keep sharing them with us and I’ll go away and configure a GTS with air suspension and comfort seats…..that’s not too bad I think!! 😃😃😃😃😅

I hope everyone is enjoying the ferrari content and will enjoy the future content with any limited cars he gets.

    First, I love Tim. Truly one of the best UA-camrs on the platform and what you have done is insane. So much respect. My only negative about the Shmee collection is there are just so many. I love every one of those cars and what you've done is awesome, it can be crappy though if they alot of them sit for long periods and dont get used properly. I look at him and Hoovie, who I both love and their taste is awesome - it just sucks because so many just sit for long periods of time and dont get to run and drive properly. However, I know Shmee appreciates and probably everything gets driven way more than most of these hypercar collectors, so thats why its still awesome.

    Ferrari did awesome job with the suv. Lamborghini was supposed to be the outrageous brand. But Ferrari put a V12 in a crossover! And im not crazy for Ferrari. But as you said. They've been nailing it.

    Interesting how this has changed so much in so little time. Go back to the Speciale and they were discounting them from retail just to shift the things. Even rolex back then, you could walk into any boutique and buy a steel Daytona. But now, completely different world. Highly likely to come back full circle though

    The other high level brands could and should learn a lot from this type of experience. Ferrari clearly do it better, less backhanded deals behind the scenes and a nicer, clearer ‘game’ so to speak. The customer needs to know where they’re heading, not ignored. Great video and a good insight into Porsche and McLaren too.

    You’re a loyal Ferrari customer so you’ve earned the right to be offered a special version. Ferrari we different in that many dealerships are privately owned in UK so there is a familiarity with the team and a sense they treat you like family. Even me who has only bought two pre-owned cars; I still feel like a valued customer who they keep in touch with.

    Always nice videos (especially ones that feature ferraris) tim, i have a question, if you have the 296 GTS that is a convertible why are you buying the roma spider? Is it because its a bit less extreme than the 296 or just for the "collection"? Anyways always a good choice, supporting you from Italy,

    From my perspective though, I wish you'd keep the SF90 and sell the GTS. Ever since you first owned it, the SF90 Stradale just seemed to be **THE PERFECT** car (cept for storage space 😂).

    To me I think everything you said with the chicken and egg concept was truly spot on, and to be frank Everyone has different tastes and to be honest I would take that 296 GTS over the sf and people will think I’m crazy for saying that but I just LOVE the lines and that rosso Dino orange spec with the grey leather and that blacked out rear bonnet and powered back window that has the vintage look to it from the rear are just so freakin sexy to me that if I had to pick that would be my Ferrari. And yes it’s slower and significantly less expensive than the sf90 but idc and I think you kind of hinted towards that concept that it’s about the brand and cherishing it and also personalizing the hell out of the spec if you have the opportunity to and make it unique and your own. I think your gts is just sexy man! Lol I’m in love with that car.

    Dear Tim, Although I watch hours and hours of YT a week.. Your channel seems to be the one I click on first.. I love hard working, dedicated people.. The blue electrico is sooo beautiful.. If the SF90 would have to leave the Shmuseum.. Would it be so strange to get a Sf90XX in the same color? Yeh kinda would no? But what a color... Looking foreward seeing the spec for the XX! Also thinking.. Have you thought making a portion of the Shmuseum more a Ferrari dedicated display? Thnx for making 2023 more entertaining and looking foreward to see what 2024 brings.. Moooooooooooooooooo

    Great comments on ‘the game’ … I personally changed from a Porsche guy to a Ferrari guy … based on two things …. 1. It’s the passion and excitement of the brand …. Ferrari creates an excitement inside …. A passion …. Porsche is clinical but almost boringly perfect ….. but 2. ‘The game’…. All I wanted was a GT3 or GT3rs to drive … you know, to enjoy that perfection ….. but no …. Not a chance …. The Dealer Principle got the first one for his collection and the Rich ‘flippers’ got the others …. No doubt giving 1/2+the profit back to the dealership …. It stank ….. and my custom went elsewhere because of that …..
    Funny thing is I’d have paid Porsche the flippers money for their amazing cars, but I’m not gonna line the flippers pockets !!!
    And just a shout out to……Ferrari Scuderia 16m …..honestly ….. best car Ferrari ever made … (except F40, F50, Enzo and 250) …… noise, handling, perfect power, analogue but modern, n/a, 499 worldwide, Schumacher inspired, steering and feel and my god …. That single clutch gearbox … it’s as fast as a duel clutch but the feel of a manual ……
