Default A truly stunning collection.

This really has nothing to do with our "9" variant Pcars, but I thought that most of you would be gearheads like me...

A local guy (won't divulge his name) who sold a rather large company a while ago has amassed an incredible collection of choice Euro / American cars. He's a wonderfully down to earth person & regularly invites friends over to his "main" storage facility to see his latest toys & enjoy the facility.

There are 3 main sections to this building - Euro, Corvette and "Muscle" - all cars are registered, insured and ready to go... I took pictures of each room, but the rooms are too large to fit into one shot!

The most recent additions are the Alfa 8c, Ferrari Scuderia 16M and the 959.

It's great when someone with the means to assemble such a stellar collection also enjoys sharing.

Here are some pics from Saturday's visit:























Rough view through the windscreen...

Holy Cracker barrel!

Let's hear it for capialism! Out of all of that spectacular iron (and carbon fiber) I would still take the Ferrari 288 GTO out of any of them. I haven't seen anything like this since I saw the Simeone museum in Philly.

Agreed, the 288gto is a tingler. I'm not sure which I'd drive home, but the Veyron definitely commands respect amongst even the most dominant stablemates.

Yes - Vector it was - Purple it is. Ill proportioned & not really aging well.... But, that said I still spent some time looking around it.

Here are a few more....

I agree. It's sick that one guy owns all those cars. They should be owned by two guys and out of sheer selflessness, I'll volunteer to be the second guy.
