[DeTomaso] Spectacular Mangusta coming up for auction in France

Guys,

Here are some great videos (in French):

Laurent is in the passenger seat.   He's a hell of a nice guy, who laughs 
more than most people do, and has an incredibly infectious, childlike spirit 
that just makes everybody around him feel good.   At least, that was my 
experience in the numerous times I met him, the most recent time being 6-7 years 
ago.   I confess, I really miss that guy....

Here's somebody else's home video from a car show:

And finally, a bit of a puff piece apparently advertising the 
almost-imaginary De Tomaso Club of France, run by Stephane Poux:

Poux is the fellow in the white sweater marshalling him into parking; you 
can see glimpses of his silver GT5-S.   This is the car that he lost in a 
bankruptcy proceeding, which is now being restored by new owner Stephane 
Bergeron, the founder of the 'not the De Tomaso Club of France' which is called 
Pantera French Connection.   PFC is the outfit that stages the big De Tomaso 
paddock display and club dinner at Le Mans Classic...but I digress!
