I saw a picture of that, but didn't know that the car was Jon Shirley's. It happened at the 40th anniversary of the GTO. All remaining GTOs were present at Mas du Clos of Pierre Bardinon. And they were driven as well. Imagine that, a parade of 250/330 GTOs... :shock: Some crappy driver in a Ford Fiesta didn't look careful enough and ran into the GTO, damaging it pretty extensively. I think the insurance company that was dragged into this couldn't believe the bill either.
This Jon Shirley has got a great collection! And now I know where the 375 MM is...
