“If something exists, somebody somewhere collects them.”
Remember when you were a kid and you used to collect the Pokemon tatoos, stickers, WWE cards, fancy wrappers, post stamps, old coins, comics, and a lot of stuff that other people would simply throw away. But for you, it was special. There are many people who collect something. However their reasons and manner vary hugely. For some, like the cricket fans who collect cricket memorabilia of their favorite cricketer, it is a way to express their loyalty and support; for others, like the coin collector proud of rare finds, who amasses a collection purely for fun.
Now what if I told you that there is someone who loves collecting Ferraris! You’d laugh and say it was a good one mate. But someone is really doing it, someone is really collecting these expensive cars. You would definitely be surprised after seeing his collection. Take a look at his 2005 Porsche 996 Turbo S!

When asked about his passion and love for Ferrai, David Lee said,
I really like the history and I don’t think other brands have the range of models and variety that Ferrari has. I picked a certain direction and strategy, I prefer the supercars from the 288GTO through the LaFerrari, but also some of their icons of the 60s And I also like driving something dependable everyday, which is my 2014 Ferrari FF.
David must be proud of his collection. Everyone can take an inspiration from Ferrai Collector David Lee to make their dreams come true.
