Monster Garage

[dbk]

Today I went to the garage of a local guy working on one of the largest car collections in Michigan (or anywhere else for that matter). A gent who works for him asked that I pick up a massive Ferrari flag to hang in the garage down at the F1 race, which I did.

The following were some of the cars in the stable:

Aston Martin Vanquish
Bentley Continental GT
Bentley Arnage
Bentley Azure
Corvette x 2 of those retromod 03 to 53 looking cars
Corvette 06 Z06
Corvette Lingenfelter 427 TT
Delorean
Ferrari 612 Scaglietti
Ferrari Enzo
Ferrari F40
Ferrari F430
Ferrari F430 Spider
Ferrari Superamerica
Ford GT
Ford Shelby GT350 (original)
Ford Shelby GT500 (original)
Ford Shelby GT500 (new)
Jaguar E-Type Coupe
Jaguar E-Type convertible
Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder
Lamborghini Murcielago
Mercedes McLaren SLR
Mercedes SL65
Porsche Carrera GT
Porsche Cayenne Turbo
Porsche Cayman S
Porsche 997TT
Porsche 996 Gemballa
Rolls Royce Phantom
Saleen S281E
Saleen S7 TT
Shelby Cobra (all original)
Shelby Series 1

That's just the start. I think the total collection is somewhere north of 100. Either way, it's way more than I could remember. There was an assortment of old muscle on the other side in extremely good condition including Chargers, Camaros and the like. Needless to say, it's alot of cars. And the man has good taste, as his GT is white/blue stripes with optional wheel and red caliper (another guy I know has that same combo :biggrin ).

Second most impressive garage I've ever been in, second only to Leno's.

Dat's not a garage, Dave - dat's a warehouse! ('Leno's more so!) :biggrin

 

[dbk]

Yeah, garage is an inappropriate term. It's a big warehouse divided into three sections.

 

[ROCMAN]

ummm, where are the pics? How could you tease us like that?:wink

When I first read the title, I thought you were going to say that the show "Monster Garage" did something with a GT.:biggrin

 

[B O N Y]

[dbk]

Sorry didn't take any pics. Will do next time I get a chance. This is from his garage though.

Impressive collection. He has got to have a full time staff looking after all that iron. How many mechanics/ detailers/ drivers does he have on the payroll?

 

[dbk]

At the moment, I don't think he's got much of a staff in place. He's been assembling the cars for a while, but only recently has the collection completely blown up. I think it tripled in size this year.

I'm sure it won't be long before the whole place is abuzz with employees.

Ask him if he needs an MD (motor doctor) around.

 

[Mad Max]

Or a WVD, wash and vaccum Doctor.....

 

[Edson]

Is this his personal collection? A car for every day of the month. Wow.

 

[GTNJ]

What ! No rice burners? :lol :lol

New pic. That's 1 of the 3 equally sized rooms, and you're missing quite a few cars...

New pic. That's 1 of the 3 equally sized rooms, and you're missing quite a few cars...

Actually, that one is the smaller of the 3 rooms. This one is 12k sq. ft., the other two are 14k sq. ft. each..... filling up quick!

MD - AKA Dr. F.

Ask him if he needs an MD (motor doctor) around.

Mr. Doctor Pikul, looks like this collection contains live cars only. Looks like you'd best get some re-freshers scheduled before your apply.

And the wow factor of this collection raises my heart beat and lowers my blood pressure. What's your diagnosis?

 

[fjpikul]

What does it do for your hooter? That's what's important.

The most massive car collection I've ever seen was at this site

http://64.38.252.186/New/RonsGallery.htm

It's locked now but it was unbeleavable... easliy 300+ cars. All extreemly desirable. If anybody knows this guy. Get access to this for us. It was eye candy for years to come.
