hello all...i think this might be my first O/T post ever. so here goes...

if you guys (and gals) have any interest in rare, expensive sportscars, watch tonight's special on the Discovery Channel 8pm (Sat. 10/6). it's an hour-long documentary highlighting Ralph's amazing car collection.

i work for RL, and have sat in many of his cars, they are incredible...ferraris, jags, porsches, bugattis, etc...


Enjoy!

Hey MS,

I watched it . Very nicely done. The cars in his collection are just beautiful. Even though Jay Leno has such a great collection also, it must have made him a little envious to stand at Pebble beach and see that alfa take First place! Im in the city alot (son at Fordham) yes we have to tone down the life style just a little !!

i just watched the special (of course i was out partying at the rodeo bar last night, so i had to tape it )...

it was really well done, i was at that museum exhibit, it really felt like you were looking at sculptures...

i was glad to see paul russell (who owns the restoration shop) get significant screen time, i met him at his shop, he was a complete gentleman and puts so much time and energy into restoring these cars...these men are just as passionate with their hobby as we are of ours.

again, i highly recommend watching the show, if you are into cars (or even just cool design)...
