Ferrari Blasphemy and Sacrilege w/ Stanceworks Mike Burroughs & Ferrari Tech Victoria Bruno

Take your seats for this Fiery, Ferarri-flavored Face-off! In the red corner, fresh out of her oily-black Testarossa, we’ve got newcomer Victoria Bruno (@MotoriBruno), a vintage Ferrari mechanic on the rise. In the (other) red corner, none other than one of the most controversial builders today: Mike Burroughs (StanceWorks)! His 308 and F40 Frankenstein creatures are the stuff of exquisite nightmare! So gather round! Watch as these two duke it out: purism versus modding, each getting their jabs in. Scotto acts as not-so-reluctant referee and third member to this particularly unholy Ferrari owners club. Who will triumph? You’ll have to watch to find out! @MotoriBruno@StanceWorks@BrianScotto @321ActionActionPartners:Vyper IndustrialFCP EuroHeatwave VisualToyo TiresProducer: Nick Rutter @nickrutterartsMusic: SlikSound Patreon: https://patreon.com/u37266647https://bio.site/[email protected]:00 - Welcome & Introduction01:21 - Sponsors: Vyper Industrial, Toyo Tires, Heat Wave03:00 - The Unholy Ferrari Owners Club05:05 - Italian Heritage and Family Mob Ties05:59 - What is Blasphemy when it comes to Ferraris?08:42 - Victoria’s Journey: From Waitressing to Ferrari Mechanic15:45 - Mike’s Background: BMW Roots and Stanceworks17:15 - Creative Outlets: Why Nothing is Sacred18:30 - The Legacy and Craftsmanship of Ferrari20:29 - Have Ferrari Sent Mike a Cease & Desist Yet?42:35 - The Influence of Magnum PI and Ferris Bueller45:49 - Sponsor: FCP Euro47:07 - The Value of Ferraris49:57 - Top Ferraris of All time1:05:00 - The Case for Preservation1:10:32 - Mods: Once You Start, Where Do You Stop?1:27:11 - Banned from FerrariChat (FChat)1:38:46 - F40 Build Update: Chassis and Gearbox Progress1:52:40 - Finding Common Ground?2:02:19 - Brian’s Ferrari Wheel Incident2:09:08 - If You Had to Choose a Ferrari to Modify2:23:06 - Challenge!
