magwheel...i want your life...
unfornunatley i have not been able to see any of you amazing cars because i live over in powell, ohio. I see a ferrari 430 spider (yellow) like every other day, maybe you know the guy. I have a one question though, did you buy you f430 a few months ago at MAG? Also, I agree with you in the fact that i am surprised your dealer got the SLR and not the Crown Eurocars dealer.
Your cars are MIND BLOWING, do you have a favorite?

As I say in other forums, I really don't have a favorite because they're all fanatatic to drive and each one has its own personality. I try and drive them in order so that each one gets a chance to stretch its legs! Take care Jamie. Mags

That's an awesome pic... it looks as if the pet dog just got done riding in each of those cars, in order, and is now exhausted... :-)

magwheel, thanks for the response, the reason i was asking about the F430 at Magcars was because a buddy of mine was intrested in the Aston Martin DB9 volante they had and they took us in the garage where they kept all the custom ordered cars and I saw a ferrari F430 like yours and he let me toy around with it for a few minutes, and i was wondering if that was yours but, guess not...great car anyway you shake it though...

Mag, I have to tell you what a pleasure it's been to follow this thread from it's inception. You unaffected demeanor has been so down to earth and gracious...not to mention humorous.
Kudos to you for your good fortune and your willingness to share the ride(s). Keep the good stuff coming and we're all too happy to vicariously drive with you through your posts and pics.
I'm sure I speak for the majority of us when I say we look forward to a long and enjoyable online friendship.
Best Regards,

so i was reading this thread and was thinking magwheel must be from california or texas because theres not much in my state. so then i read on and discovered that magwheel is from OHIO! I was thinking...this is cool...and what an impressive collection of cars....i mean..wow!...then i started reading about the SLR test drive..I remember reading about a dealership near me having one...so i was thinking where did he test drive it at..he said "small town".. so i scroll down and look for somthing familiar...then i see it "Fred Martin..Youngstown, OH" ....I'm from Niles. Which is about 10 minutes away... Nice to meet ya.

Hey Magwheel,
I was searching for a 355 Ferrari on eBay when i noticed that your 575 marranello was listed. Do you have a new car in mind that you are planning on buying?

I'll be selling one more car in the Spring. Can't let the cat out of the bag though! Magwheel

It's always nice to see your posts Magwheel, I've got several friends that let owning multiple exotics go to their head, not to the extent they become an ahole, but they are far from modest, you just seem to enjoy life and appreciate everything around you, your luck couldn't have strucka nicer guy. Continue to enjoy the world's best cars!
