No personal experience, but I often visited the F40 website before the show
came on. Always seemed to be a nice assortment of very desirable cars. One of
his clients is Herb Chambers who owns a bunch of auto dealerships in greater
Boston and owns some beautiful collector cars (including a McLaren F1). I have
seen Wayne's wife on the show accompanying him to some shows. As far as Wayne
getting "skunked" I bet the TV show underwrites the cost of some of his less
successful sales for the sake of getting the cars to auction.

I have been watching this show, Chasing Classic Cars on HD Theater for a few
months
and am just curious if anyone know whats behind this show?
Does anyone in the Connecticut area know of this shop, the credibility, or
who
is
Wayne Carrinie? The shop is F40 Motorsports, (I believe)
The show deals a lot with the Cal. and Arizona car auctions and mostly rare
classic
and unusual cars. Wayne ships his cars across the states to sell and buy.
But lately
he seems to get "skunked" on his sales, which makes me wonder why go through
all
that expense just to have to bring your car back home and then end up selling
it locally.
Hmmmm?
One has to wonder sometimes which TV shows are on the level and use credible
information as opposed to just another "reality show" that is staged to draw
as many
viewers as possible. (like the American Chopper reality show. That is
getting
ridiculous
but pretty nice bikes.)
Waynes collection of inventory at his shop seems to be on the upper level of
unusual and
higher priced but they don't dwell too much on the inventory that he has in
stock much.
And where is the wife? She must be the most understanding woman in the world
to
stand by while her husband travels all over the US and does his Guy Toy
hobby/business without
her along.
Anybody know of this shop/ person or what is behind the makeup of this show?
