I was really surprised to see DC make an appearance on Jay’s channel.. Now for someone like Matt Farah to employ and endorse DC, sure.

There were so many signs that Donnie wasn't kosher but his clients were willfully ignorant. He isn't the first and certainly won't be the last.

Jay Leno, a guy who famously isn't into Ferraris, needs a new F-car mechanic?

Jay Leno does not own any Ferraris.
Not surprised at this outcome, I saw his work and was initially impressed but started reading about how much he charges his customers and immediately thought "rip-off". Sabotaging customer's engines? I hope he rots behind bars.

Wow! It's amazing how often these sorts of guy pop up.
We've got this guy, and then the infamous MM, and what really gets me is that not only was Hennessey doing some seriously shady crap, but he's still in business and seems to be doing better than ever. How did he get away with it?

Good question...but it's just not Ferraris. I urge anybody to be cautious entering the collector car world.

Is AZ still putting the crooks out in tents in the desert like they should be?

Good point on Hennessey...he's lucky...very lucky.
I've met him and he is full of himself and arrogant. I wouldn't trust him to work on my sister's Mazda 3.

That is the one.
The way I take this is that clients with money to pay someone to work on or restore a vintage Ferrari also have the money and time to make someone like Donnys life miserable if the want. Not sure what the truth is but I don't have anything to say till its black and white and a verdict issued.
