When I sort of came up the Ferrari hierarchy, I I didn't even know all this stuff existed. I just sort of bought and
00:00:05
sold cars, but I bought a Ferrari Enzo in the UK. And all of a sudden I was on Ferrari's radar cuz that was pretty
00:00:10
high-end car. I got a call from the dealer here and they said, you know, can you be in Maranello like next week? And
00:00:16
I said, like what for? He said, can't tell you but you should go. And I got there and I met a guy called
00:00:22
Enrico Galliera, who's one of the directors of Ferrari, and had lunch with him in the Ferrari boardroom. And I'm
00:00:27
going like, what the hell is this about, you know? And he goes, oh, we just wanted to meet you. So why? And he goes,
00:00:32
I'll show you something. So we go into this room and see the new LaFerrari, which hadn't even been released at that
00:00:38
time. No one had seen it. He said, just thought I'd show you this. Cool. I want one of those. He goes, oh,
00:00:44
we will see. I said, >> [laughter] >> But I'd like one, you know, like I I want to buy it. And he goes, well, I
00:00:53
can't do that. And he said, And I said, well, why am I here? I was finally figuring I was there to buy this car. He
00:00:58
said, no, no, he said, we just want to get to know you. We're a family and we want to work out whether you fit in our
00:01:02
family cuz we only want these cars to go to family. Yeah, it took took me 6 months to be allowed to buy that car.
00:01:08
[laughter] >> It's like a weird business model. >> It is it is but it's a very successful
00:01:12
one.
