Only Ralph Lauren's collection had the content to make me jizz myself (For lack of a better reaction). I mean, a brace of F1's, including an LM? And an Atlantic? '62 GTO? Then the Alfa? My God, he's got taste. (And the means to back it up.)

Buying a car and not driving it is like buying a meal and not eating it.

Does Jay Leno open up his garage to visitors?
He really should.

I can see the point Rob. I think I'd enjoy a quite large collection, but each model would have to mean something to me. Given the amount of money some of these people have, I'd rather try to make my own car, no matter if the companies goes bankrupt in 1 year, it would definitely be funnier and more special.Originally Posted by DesmoRob

This.
Also with so many cars, do they have the time to actually drive all of them?

Depends on the visitor. He shows it quite a bit, but it's by invitation only. I haven't managed to get one.Does Jay Leno open up his garage to visitors?
He really should.
Leno does drive all of his (which has some people up in arms,) but with so many it's not like they all get driven often.

That's not such a bad idea. If you think about it, thats probably how the majority of exclusive car manufacturers started. It all begins with a vision and a dream, followed by having the will to take the necessary steps in order to bring the plan to fruition.

haha you can have a mini instead of whatever rental car the airport would usually lump you with if you visitBuddy!
but seriously, you got to drive these cars to keep them in top condition right; one man couldn't possibly do that with large collections, it would become an itemised chore. "must drive car X this week, then car Y on monday.." etc etc

yea you're right. Those things would go to sh!t if they weren't used. After all, they were built not just to be driven, but to be driven HARD. At least you wouldn't have to pay people to do it. You'd have lineups of people ready to do it for free. The only work you'd have to put in is background checks on everyone, and perhaps a little racing school for the lot.haha you can have a mini instead of whatever rental car the airport would usually lump you with if you visit

UCP track day!

We can't even arrange a general get together, let alone a track event LOL. That would be damn cool though. Maybe one day, when all of us are retired. Maybe then we'll actually make it a reality. Of course by then poor Pieter won't be able to get in and out of his C6, so we'll just have to make him feel comfortable in the standsUCP track day!
