Default Unbelievable!

The local (DE/PA/NJ) Ferrari guys visited a car collector extraordinaire today somewhere north-east of Philadelphia (in an undisclosed location). I was aware of this event and was invited to attend, but I had other plans, which I now know were of little relative importance. This guy's collection of exotics and other rare vehicles trumps Jay Leno, as far as I am concerned. I am kicking myself for not attending.

Be prepared to drool as you view these 300 or so pics of his phenomenal collection: http://s1230.photobu...!cpZZ1QQtppZZ24

There are some more pics to be posted, which I will link as soon as they are available.

I have on great authority that it is, Dave. Rich does not begin to describe him... Here is the Ferrari Chat Forum link: http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/sho...d.php?t=338182

I did see the link. Whoever took the pictures, needs lessons. 300 pictures. 3 or 4 of the same pose of the same car. It looked more like a car meet than a collection. So, how many actual cars does he have? Just wondering.

Not that link. This link to the Ferrari forum:

I think he has around 50 cars, plus an airplane and other memorabilia. Look at the posts on the bottom of page 2 and page 3.

What a great collection. In 50 years people will be glad that these examples were basically stashed away.

I have to say that I don't find it a match for Leno's collection. True, Jay doesn't have a single Ferrari in his garage. And the collection pictured may be unmatched as a private Ferrari collection. The Veyron was nice and there were some pretty Lambos. But where are the antiques, muscle cars, British sports cars (not counting those Astons), steamers, and old electrics. And there wasn't a single roadster powered by a AV-1790-5B engine from an M-47 Patton tank.

Jay's garage may well be the greatest collection of road-going vehicles ever assembled by a single owner.

I agree, Mike. I guess I was exaggerating a bit in my comparison with Leno! I was wrong, though, on the number of cars this collector has. He really has 114. There are some more excellent pics on this photographer's Facebook page: https://www.facebook...50625b25&type=1 (The first several photos are of the group drive to this undisclosed location)
