Parade of Ferraris Sets New World Record

Filed under: Wheels, Events


Here's a fun traffic jam to be a part of: a group of 385 Ferraris parading down the Silverstone circuit in England. It happened just a week or so ago on June 9th as part of a celebration to mark the company's anniversary year. Just a few of the models present were a 250 California Spider, a 275GTB/C, FXX, F40, F50 and an Enzo. The total value of all the Ferraris involved is estimated to be more than $118.4 million.

For the event the cars traveled slowly over a 2 mile course, made sure to stay within 2 car lengths of each other, and were counted both at the beginning and at the end. A representative from Guinness World Records certified the event as a new world record and presented Ferrari officials with a certificate.

What? No certificates for the individual owners/drivers? Bummer.

Ultimate Home Bar from Guinness

Filed under: Decor

It's hard not to love a good contest, no matter how slim your chances of winning might be, especially when the prize is a good one. In this case, the prize is a custom-built $20,000 home bar from Guinness. The contest is one of design, not merely pure chance. Guinness wants your to submit your own vision of the ultimate home bar, whether built to scale from 2x4's in your yard or sketched on the back of a cocktail napkin. Don't worry if you aren't the greatest artist, though, because after uploading a picture of your creation, you have the chance to describe it. The best bar wins.

You have until July 31st to create your winning design and, since there is only one entry per person, you may as well take your time thinking about it. We'll keep our fingers crossed for all the Luxist readers who decide to enter - and don't hesitate to invite us to the the unveiling of your dream bar.
