Thanks for the comments!

What an awesome event. Definitely one of my favorite of the year.

We get ridiculously spoiled in Florida. The first 3-4 months of the year are always my favorite between the car shows, parties, Sebring 12 Hours etc.

It's an absolute blast!

There are tons more photos on the website including the article that has a lot of very interesting and useful information regarding the event itself.

Thanks for checking it out. I hope to see you all there next year!

^^^ I have no idea. I was wondering the same thing. That car is beautiful.

Heard it was from a massive private collection here in Naples. It wouldn't surprise me. The collection is worth well in excess of $500 million.

Can't think of the guys name, He actually lives in Tampa... He made his money in RV campsites. I saw his collection in Palm Beach for Supercar Weekend its quite impressive.

You're thinking of Don Wallace. He owns Lazydays RV company. I have a few friends that actually personally know him. He's a huge philanthropist here in the area of Tampa and the state of Florida alike.

The picture of all the Ferrari's - I've seen a photo like that before in a local Naples magazine so I am pretty sure that the info is correct. I think I might actually know the neighborhood where that collection resides. There was an article in the newspaper with pictures of that collection in an individuals backyard - it was in what seemed like an almost all glass housing storage facility. Unbelievable to say the least.

Do you have any more information on who the owner is?

I would have a photography field day with that type of collection. I would love to do an article on that collection for one of my main websites that I run.

Having grown up in Naples my entire life before I moved to Tampa to continue college 1.5 years ago, you see some RIDICULOUS things in that city. Money is no object; it's like Disney World for the rich and famous.

Here is a thread on some Don Wallace cars:

I don't know if the garage I posted is his, or someone else's. I do know that MexicoBlue knows the guy who's garage I posted.
