That is insane..............

 

I don't even have that many collection on my GT5 garage.... Was this at FL?

 

This was in New Jersey

 

Yeah but he didn't have a "type 35 Bugatti Atlantica".... so what are you all excited about??......."come on guys"? They're all junk. You're a walking contradiction.

And.... that is a lot more than $20mill. worth of cars.

I was telling Chris that a lot of those cars were at SEMA last year being represented by a person / wheel co. owner (to remain nameless) as his own collection....oooops.

 

I know the guy who owns this collection ... and this is only a sample of what he has. He's got garages in Florida and others in Jersey as well.

I think the day you were up there - a guy I know of has a Cobra that visited that day. He had a clutch problem at the entrance of the driveway. It was towed up to the garage and the owner had his helpers (and others) pitch in, find the problem, remedy a solution and had him on his way within an hour or so. That's the kind of exceptional guy the owner of these cars is.

The collection is astonishing and this is only part of it ... he's got Astons, Ferrari's, Masser's, F-1 Cars, GT Class racers, Lambos, P-Cars, and more! He's even designed colors for some of his custom order cars that manufacturers liked to much the company licensed the color and sells it. It has his name in the name of the color!

But ... that's not the impressive part. What's impressive is the man himself. If I pointed him out in a restaurant and told you "that's the guy with that collection" ... you'd slap me and demand I stop lying to you!
When you meet him ... what ever projection you have of his personality ... you'd be way off target. He is the most unassuming, balanced, gracious, and soft-spoken man you could meet. If you're polite, and courteous, he'd give you the shirt off his back ... and the shirt off his back won't be from some fancy-schmancy-black-label-designer ... it'll be a modest, simple, off the rack shirt.

Forget his wealth, he's a guy you'd invite to a backyard BBQ if you met him in the isles at Costco. Tell him he has to bring his Mother - although she's 90, she's a hoot and would have everyone laughing with a joke or three. Truly a great family.

What he LOVES more than anything ... is his anonymity ... and I am very happy to see you honored his request to not put license plate numbers or mention his name in your post. When I see him next Thursday I'll mention you did the right thing. He'll respect that.

 

Don't know much about this guy..but I heard a story from this guy who he met at a car show and gladly invited the guy to his private collection! That to me, shows a lot! Always good to have people like that.

 

True that!! I used to work for a guy who was worth $2bill. and used to ride his bicycle solo around Woodside, CA. In today's "America", if people knew who he was he'd have to have security guards around him 24/7. ..... not naming names.... but he now owns a very prolific ALMS team.... and he drives, but usually only at LeMans.... just a hobby. LOL

If the "occupy wall st." people ever try to assault these collections call me.... I'll come to defend.
