Awesome garage

Was at my friend's house this weekend and just had to snap some pics of his father's garage.





I just had to sit inside this one:







Every car has some racing heritage. Thought you guys might appreciate the pics.

Fantastic car collection. Is there a name to the collection or museum? Is it open to the public and if yes, where is it?

Or maybe he's still growing? I knew a kid like that.. didnt look like an adult until he hit 25 or so.

And yes, fantastic garage!

Thats pretty crazy...

I don't know if I could bring myself to start collecting cars unless I had a huge amount of land outback with a full scale track(for that not street legal stuff).

Kudos to your friends dad for being one of the few rich people who actually have a good place to put there money. Anyone have an estimate to the value of that collection?
