    very nice. but he probably don't drive any of these.....sad, really.
    maybe his beneficiaries will drive them one day, or sell them to another obsessive/compulsive.

    Beautiful beautiful cars, but if they're sitting on plinths - it's not a garage.

    I nominate my garage.

    has a fridge with nothing but beer, a stereo, a tv and dvd player, over a dozen bikes, a wine cellar, stationary cycling trainer, tool bench, work bench, desk, is full of camping gear, books, has a motorbike a sportscar and a 4wd.

    and I just got rid of the pull out sofa bed - lounge thingy a short time ago.

    other than that MDT's garage is good too and it even has no cars in it.

    this one for me... plenty of room and I like the idea of the turntable. I also like #21 and think that Way would appreciate #s 51 and 52, It could be an idea for you to buiy a couple more appartments for your cars to sit in.

    RLs is wayyyy too neurotic and clinical and that last one is dull. I used to have one like that in my previous house except accesed via a car lift or stairs.
    A good garage needs more than just cars IMO.

    How well do those car lift and turn table work? Any issue at all? Because I really dislike living in big houses in surburbia, yet I like lots of garage space, I think it's only a matter time before I venture down that path.

    They kinda suck. The turntables werent so bad but the lifts are a pain.
    They require alot of safety features in Oz so locks and sequencing are forever. Worst part is trying to get council approval for one in a residential area.

    It is kinda cool having a remote for a car lift and batman turntable. But when the lift failed you were f(;:/Ed.

    When I move into my new joint in feb you can come and have a ride on the turntable. But not in a gti, only an rs3...can't be letting the neighborhood standards slip.

    Plasticygoodness has kicked on! Good to see you haven't forgotten the vortex riff raff! We miss your nimble fingers dancing across the keyboard bringing deep belly laughs and major ownage through out the pages of tex...

    How is the private world treating you? I was going to give you a ring for advice for my girlfriend, thought that might be rude... Maybe we can trade info... I can get some cards off you to distribute for "body sculpting" or similar and you can tell me what I need to know about breasts...

    Loooooooong story!

    Only thing about the missus's you need to know is 'they're the most beautiful I've ever seen....I mean, if I had seen anyone else's to compare them to, which I haven't, I'm only talking theoretically from what I've seen in movies...but not those sort of movies, just ones I've....nevermind, you know I was walking past Tiffany's the other day and saw this ring/necklace/watch and really wondered if you'd like it, do you want to drop past there next week?'

    he spent 5 million dollars building the actual garage

    and stock with all these ****ty cars? wtf

    and the elevator is quite stupid..it looks like it takes 5-10 mins to go up or down


    i hope he is never in a hurry...

    so sterile though! the houses above ground seem much nicer

    did the host say "50 cent's felatio playground"?!?!

    The elevator reminds me of Batman's temp hideout in TDK.
    Maybe the dude has a secret cave too where he keeps the real rides?

    He did mention his car collection is worth a couple of million, I'm guessing there's more too it than we saw.

    I also think he has problems, why buy numerous examples of the same motorbike? And then not even START them!
