That sounds more like a private driver towing their car on an open trailer.. but more importantly sounds like and urban legend type story - do you have any links to this "story"?

jesus i would drive every1 of them back. Fly to the location, drive one back, fly back to the location and drive another back ... I don't get the point of having a exotic car and not clocking the km's on them. Its like having money and not spending it .. stupid if you ask me.

Perhaps he wanted them all at once and had other things to do in the meantime? Exotic cars are not the sole preserve of the leisurely rich.

I am pretty sure every one of you cocksuckers would have a lot to say if your Enzo came home driving on an open transporter with paint chips and dinged windshoelds from road debirs.
That was the point - these are not "dealer delivery Golfs and Jettas" being transported... but no doubt the magazine/TV station/test organizer was too fucking cheap to spring for a decent enclosed trailer.

1. Let me not talk about how fool americans are. You think you are the smartest people on earth.
2. What's the difference between an Enzo and a Jetta? You would get pissed eaven if you get your Jetta with scratces/chips, it doesnt' have to be an Enzo.
3. Maybe roads in western europe are much cleaner than in the US, and we don't have sandstorms that often
4. I prefer hairy woman over bald (i.e. Britney)

Really? You obviously have no idea that "Americans" are all immigrants.. the majority from European decent - some of us ar efirst generaiton inmmigrants - BTW were are you from? Some shitstain country that would probably have been speaking Nazi at this time if it wasnt for US money and industry that saved your stupid lazy arses twin in 10 years.
Or wait - maybe you are from some shrivelled up economy that grew upin the shadow of communism while being protected from SOviet annihilaiton by US military presence for last half of the previous centuary.

I think I recall a similar Gumball story - except it was while driving the car without front bumper protection and the "sand" removed the paint from the nose of the car.

Sorry... but being I work in and around the greatest cars in the world... NEVER will we even have a 1970's Cougar gets FAR better care and treatment then those super-exotics on an open trailer.
Dirt, Dust, road grime, debris.... people following and finding out where those cars are going... no protection while at road stops... Just doesn't make ANY sense... hence why only high production new cars get the open hauler treatment here. Even the Ferrari dealer takes dealer delivery of their cars fully enclosed for good reason.
Sorry, but I don't care what you have to say about it being better in an open trailer... it just IS NOT.

I remember when I saw a train carrying Audis and many others (100s and 1000s of cars are arriving to that station every week). 30-40 Audi A6s and A8s had all their windows scratched hard by some lunatics. :shock:
As for enclosed trailers... I saw a `60 or `70 Jaguar at a Classics show that had bumps on it's roof and hood. The owner said, something falled on it during transportation. It had original paint... OUCH
