Great Celebrity Garages

[my porsche]

Yes, I am this bored. If it came down to either browsing famous peoples' garage photos or studying for both a pathobiology test and a calculus 2 test, you'd do the same.

So what have you guys got? I'm sure since I can only list great American collectors off the top of my head, some European members will come to the rescue here.

Jerry Seinfeld is rumored to have one of the best Porsche collections in existence (959, very first and very last 911 produced etc) but I can't seem to find any pictures...odd.

Jay Leno

Ralph Lauren

Don Wallace

I haven't seen any photos of Aaron Kwok's car collection, but he supposedly owns a whole bunch.

I know for sure he owns a Pagani Zonda one of only a few in Hong Kong.

Ralph Lauren's collection is to me by far the most desirable.

And then of course there's the Sultan of Brunei and his family.

I have always felt Ralph Lauren's collection was more about quality than quantity and as such I've always admired his collection greatly. However I will not deny that Don Wallace seems to have a nice gathering of recent history super cars.

They can be driven for "display" though mileage is limited. The owner of Pelican Parts (a Californian) motored his all around Monterey last year, and was part of our group that drove down Carmel Valley Road to a vinyard.

That's handy.. 'No officer, I wasn't driving to the shops.. I'm going to display it in the carpark for five minutes while I get some milk...'

And then of course there's the Sultan of Brunei and his family.

Last I heard the the Sultan had approximately 155 Rolls Royces in his garage...not to mention the custom one-offs.

Now that is desirable.

Actually HK is the largest market for Pagani, 1/5 of all Zondas are there as of now. There is also a car (the one which was crashed a while ago) which is identical to Knok's, only the interior is slightly different (alcantara instead of leather on the dashboard) but otherwise you couldn't spot any other difference.

I agree, his immaculate taste definitely carries over into his automobiles. But then again, it's Ralph Lauren, what did you expect?

He definitely has a large collection. I'd sell off 99% of it if I somehow acquired it though. Some of that stuff is just straight tacky.

According to Wikipedia (as we all know, the definitive source for true information) it's 500. What a terrible investment.

What about Nick Mason, does he have anything of note besides the 250 GTO (as if that isn't enough, what, being the most beautiful production car ever made and all)?

I didn't know that. That's pretty cool.

Whether he still owns it i'm not privvy to but he leant his Ferrari F60 to Top Gear for the day so they could do a piece on it.

[clutch-monkey]

these people must hire a manager for their garages yes?

[DesmoRob]

Honestly I'm not sure I'd want to be privileged with owning so many cars. Too much of even a good thing like cars still seems like a bad thing. I like the idea of having one or two cars and a bike that really mean something to me. It would be easier to appreciate them. Unless I'm the owner of a legitimate car museum as some type of business venture, buying these things out of sheer boredom and too much money wouldn't be my cup of tea. I'm sure many would argue otherwise. That's just my view.
