Just a few of my favourite things

[_Leg_]

Hi All

With the arrival of my new 458 Spider on Friday I thought I would share my favouritist things in the world with you. Ok, second favouritist, wife and kids have to come first (so she tells me).

Thanks to a mate of mine, Graham Stott for the photos. I'll answer the obvious question before anyone asks. I have lifts in the garages and the Merc and the wife's Tiguan live outside. They all get used as you can see from the mucky Fezza.

Hope you like.

From the left:
1930 Model A Phaeton Convertible
2010 MK Indy R R1
2008 BMW E92 M3
1964 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint 1300
2014 Ferrari 458 Spider
2012 Porsche 981S
2014 Mercedes GL AMG 3.0TD





Cheers

st the bed that's a great collection. Can you tell us more about the 1930 Model A?

Extra cool points for a car lift to what I can only imagine is some sort of underground man lair. Brilliant.

Do you have any pics of your car lift? What an amazing garage!

I bet you're loving life right now..having just picked up a 458 Spider ready for the summer.

A lovely and varied collection, you have obviously been working hard. Enjoy the fruits of your labour. Nice to see that there are people who treat themselves and use them for the purpose for which they were intended.
I am jealous of the garage too.

That's the way to have a car collection, diversity all the way.

Well done you lucky bd

[lewisf182]

Jesus christ, what a garage! well done sir, you clearly work hard so why not reward yourself ey!

Would be over the moon with 'just' the boxster let alone the other metal!

458 really is a stunning car, one of the nicest ferrari's ever made and will I think be a future classic, especially as the replacement will probably not feature that epic ferrari V8

Nice collection

[Altrezia]

It's pretty depressing that any one of those cars would be an upgrade from my kit. Ha!

Amazing collection - really love seeing someone using their money properly!

Hope they bring you the joy they look like they should.

Lovely collection.... much green envy going on here.

Cheers guys. Really appreciate the comments. 28 years hard graft and I love the bloody things.

I'm currently sat in a bar at Heathrow flying out to Maranello for a tour and track day courtesy of jct. How the f#ck that happened to some bloke from t'yorkshire I'm yet to fathom.

Epic

[jimbop1]

Well that's depressing to know.

Enjoy it! (Silly thing to say really)

Re the Question about the model A ....

It's a 1930 ford model A phaeton shipped from New Zealand. Rhd but USA spec with a 4 cylinder 3.3 engine putting out a mighty 27bhp.

Accelerator in the middle, brake on the right. 3 forward gears.

Err, think that's it. Oh runs as standard on high octane unleaded.

Sorry can't post more pics of the classics from here but will on Thursday when I get back.

Very nice collection 458 has to be one of the best looking cars about at the moment.

I'm intrigued though, you can't mention a car lift and not show where it goes

[_Leg_]

They're just car lifts like you see in garages. 4 post and 2 post lifts so I can store a car above another car.

[likesachange]

Well done for such a variety of cars.

I think you need more pics of the other cars (mainly the Alfa)

What will be your next purchase?? Keep us informed
