So, I've been working on building a company in Asia Pacific. Along comes a European player who offers myself and business partner a fair bit of cash for it.

I had a life choice, keep building it and be a rich but quite old guy, or sell a big stake and enjoy the cash while I can...

I took the money.


And so this weekend I went and brought what I also lusted after:















And then ordered a new one of these...



They're all amazing in their own way and having an absolute ball smile

Blimey you did didn’t you!!

Great selection of cars and I’m sure you will get a lot of enjoyment out of each of them. Were these cars you had admired for a long time or just “sod it - I’ll have one of those” spur of the moment purchases?

I’d be very happy with any one of them - to have all of them must be like a kid waking up with a new toy box!

I too am often indecisive when it comes to shopping. Just not on this scale. Well done!

Fantastic selection of cars there and I have to be honest, I doubt very much you will lose much if at all anything on most of these, so a good investment in today's market and for the future of the ICE.

Bloody lovely!!

He's too busy out enjoying to answer any questions.

I have to say despite being as much a petrol head as any other my choice of cars would be radically different. Mostly classics.

Ah I’d been watching them for a while. Was actually after a manual GT3 991 but couldn’t find one in Australia (quite rare), so got the GT4 instead.
Also was going to get an AMG C roadster but got the AMG GTR instead as it just looked so damn good in the flesh. That meant I had to get a different convertible (Aussie weather is great) and I’d just watched Harry’s Garage review the Porto. So… no problem, sign me up. Actually speccing that was a lot of fun. I’m going TDF blue with Burgundy interior… cos I can haha..

Anyhow, the cars are in a storage place near mine, I’ve been swapping them around daily.
I’ll post some more photos if you wish.

Haha, brilliant. I thought it was going to be about just buying one car.

How did you decide to buy those cars... and find them? For me, just buying one decent car takes ages to find the right one!

Epic garage!
