Hell yes he did. About $35000 USD, which, as a random price comparison is the same price as a Mustang EcoBoost Premium convertible in the US. He was super lucky to get it, there was a person in his small town advertising it in their front yard. I haven't actually seen it in person yet, since he's 3 hours away.
I agree, much cooler than a Ferrari. He is actually only a recent fan of back to the future, he first saw it when I showed him the bluray collection.
