violin959 is infamous around these parts

Canepa was indirectly involved with the original purchase of Gates' car. But HE had nothing to do with the US certification. In fact, the woman overseeing the process for Bill specifically told me that Canepa was not be involved on any level. I was involved along with Sam Cabiglio through G&K.

Essentially, the Sport package cars were the ones meant for the US (about 29 cars). There are a couple of "new" cars available as well.

Canepa had nothing to do with Show and Display. One of the more recent articles at his website is carefully written to infer that Canpea has been involved with Lauren's, Gates and many other cars along with inventing God himself. NOT TRUE.
Canepa did not certify the first 959, John Dixon and I did. All verified.
