Check this dude's Garage out!

Sweet Garage


I love it that this guy has a lot of sweet rides and a MINI is one of them.

No idea who's garage this is, but they have great taste in cars!

A lot of new stuff.
No real true classic, 40 years old or so.
Cobra was replica.
If it was my garage I wouldn't complain.

It's nice but I gotta tell you, my shop painted a '63 split window Corvette for Rick Hendrick to put in his personal museum. When one of his childhood friends drove down from VA to have me fix his cadillac, he asked me if I wanted to go check out his personal museum.

I did go and I can't even begin to tell you the stories of the cars I saw there. Each car has a story behind it and every building from the bank his mother worked at as a child to his favorite dealership to a gas pump is in this building as a miniature version.

Now, that was a car collection. Hundreds of cars that I'll never have the opportunity to see again, one of a kinds, absolutely beautiful.

Ahhhhh, wish I was rich.

Actually sounds like he's in someone else's garage... I do like that the MINI was the only car he really commented on.

And why wouldn't he.

That collection doesn't really impress me. It's more of a "I have lots of money so I'm going to buy the latest xxxxx supercar." That's kind of boring if you ask me. I prefer a mix of stuff, including some history. Jay Leno's garage would be a prime example, but the Collier Collection is even better, especially in the Porsche realm.

My wife's cousin specializes in collecting Ferraris. He has two Lancia Ferrari racecars that he races in historics as well as a large collection of other Ferraris, and was one of the Ferrari FXX chosen driver/owners in 2006, 2007 and 2008. He at least has a focus. That guy's "collection" just doesn't do much for me.

Exactly!

I'll agree with other posters that it's maybe not the most "sophisticated" collection. I just thought it was cool that among all the nice rides in his garage he took time to point out that sick MINI. Just saying....

Damn that Mini is sexy! I like how he gave it more attention than the other cars
