[epom]

That's a pretty rare skyline you have there OP, Lovely collection.

[QuartzDad]

You have to sell them all bar one, which one are you keeping and why?

Which one has delivered the most smiles per £?

Great collection, you're definitely winning.

That's a very good & interesting question.

Thanks for the warm welcome, everyone! And thanks Scott for saving me from my own ineptitude and sharing those pics. Here's another for good measure:

My question is how do you choose what cars you purchase, what are you interested in? What features or characteristics do you like or enjoy?

As you can see, I have a very eclectic taste! In general, I love brands/models that do something better than anyone else. For example, Koenigsegg are on the bleeding edge of performance/top speed and the most interesting hypercars from a tech perspective. Porsche are probably the best track cars. Lambos are the ultimate yob-mobile 🤣. R34s are, for me, the pinnacle of JDM. Etc...

Ooh, good question! Assuming their value means nothing? Probably the GT2RS. If not, the Egg. 😀

Smiles per £ on b-road/track = the Porsches. Smiles per £ in general = SVJ, because its absolutely ridiculous.

Welcome.

That’s a hell of a collection.

People will ask for custard, but they should just look at your insta like I just have. Wow. That Agera is, wow. Welcome!

Just done the same, crumbs!

[dapper]

Awesome selection of cars. Love the GT4 personally. Hopefully see you around some time if I'm over that way.

[smithyithy]

When I read the OP I was slightly skeptical that it may have been a fantasy story, but I'm very glad I was proved wrong, some amazing vehicles in the collection!

[wambarn]

This is the coolest 'I've met Chris Harris' thread we've ever had on here

[Jimmy No Hands]

Stunning. Where are you based? (I'm five minutes from The Motorist!)

[Its Just Adz]

The M2 is stunning, perfect spec.

The egg is ok, I suppose....
