Mullin Collection

Post by defdes »

I had the opportunity to go tour the Mullin Collection in Oxnard last weekend, I think they are only open once a month, but if you get the chance it is worth seeing. About a $500 million collection I would estimate, the ceter of the exibition revolved around this $30 million dollar Bugatti:

I know. When I sent them to me from my wife's Apple in "medium" size scale, they were too big to post. So I resent them in "small" and now they are itsy. I need to get Photoshop for my work computer.

Here is the story, it's too long to transcribe but very interesting, The detail that they left out, was that the guy won it in a drunken card game, then penniless... but with this valuable car, was on his way back to Switzerland where he couldn't pay the taxes on it at the border. So there it sat until, by law, the Swiiss Government had to destroy it. They attached it to 35 ft chains and rolled it into the lake, thinking that it may need to be resurrected one day. The chains eventually rusted thru and to the bottom it sank. http://blog.jameslist.com/2010/mythical ... for-85000/
