Just curious how many people have other sports cars, motorcycles and/or classic cars besides their Porsche. I have a 74 Triumph TR6 and a 1980 Triumph TR8 convertible. Having these other two convertibles is one of the reasons I chose a coupe versus a cabriolet. Happy and healthy New Year to all!

I rode bikes for about 12 years before I got my C4. Last two are below. 2001 RC51 - badass v twin with unbelievable torque and a 2006 MV Agusta Brutale 910S - I sold that when I got the Porsche.

I'm just starting to get into the German scene at the beginning of 2014 and have spent most of my time collecting American classic iron. Here's the list - you can see that the herd was thinned last year to significantly upgrade the sports car side.

2009 997.2 Cab PDK
2002 996 Turbo (500whp)
1967 Plymouth Belvedere wagon with 6.1L Hemi swapped (Sleeper)
1968 Pontiac Firebird (LS3 swap)
1971 Buick GS 455 clone (sold 2014)
1970 Plymouth Cuda 440 (sold 2014 to get my Porsche fever started)
1970 Dodge Superbee (sold 2014)
1959 Chevrolet Nomad wagon (Sold 2014)
1957 Chevrolet Nomad wagon (Sold 2014)
Plus a 1996 Dodge Ram Indy 500 special edition that I use for autocrossing against Camaros and Mustangs (They don't have a class for me so i get stuck with V8 Rear wheel drive)

Don't have pics readily avail but here it goes:
1987 Saleen Mustang
1995 Corvette (yes I now, bad mistake, big, heavy, terrible build quality, but had tons of torque)
1995 BMW M3 (loved this car, such neutral handling, and so lightweight)
2002 BMW M3 (loved this one too, high revving I6)
2011 BMW M3 (lost that special feeling, too big, too heavy, drove me to...)
2009 C2S! Love it, have no need or desire for anything else!
