      That would be such a cool story. You'd think the current owner's fleet of supercars must contain many more cars than the 3 Lexus LFAs and 9 Toyota GT 2000s. That's how those guys roll, no? Maybe he'd leave it to the guy in his will or something. That would be cool.

    My eyes got a little moist, and I had a grin from ear to ear.
    Man......Man!!!!
    I am 60. My grand dad was a mechanic and raced hill climbs.
    One of my earliest memories was watching Jack Brabham racing in Formula 1 in the 60s, sitting on my grand dad's bed with him....he was sick in his final years.
    When I was 3 or 4 he'd show me where to check the petrol, oil, and let me hold the air pressure hose. He'd pop the engine cover, start the car up then get me to pull an ignition cable so I could hear what a car firing on 3 or 5 cyliinders sounded like.
    If he had lived, I am sure I'd have followed in his footsteps. I absolutely loved supercars and motor racing.
    He passed when I was 6.
    There's something about cars that transcends generations and unites men from all walks of life.
    There'd be no wars if men from across the world could just hang out with cars.

    What a great story which reminds me of a friend who was about 15 years older than me. He had a small collection of cars including a white hardtop MGA twin cam and Porsche 914. He bought the MGA because he bought a new red convertible MGA twin cam when he qualified as an Architect. His one car regret was selling that car two years after he bought it. On his 50th birthday his wife gave him an MG key and told him to look outside. He was greeted by the sight of a red MGA. So he quickly dressed went down and was pleased to see it was a twin cam and amazed to see it had the same registration as the car he sold all those years ago. His wife had tracked down and bought the very car he regreted selling. Not a bad 50th birthday present.

    Emile, This is a cool story, Rewind circa August 1992... I was manager of a mid sized towing company in Hollywood FL. We towed for the local dealerships, a few shops and AAA. I spend the week before Hurricane Andrew going around So. Florida picking up vehicles for one of our awesome dealerships, to store away before the storm. During that time, a close friend of my dad's who also owned the local Toyota dealership asked us to come down and get a list of cars he needed moved, which I did. I moved 4 of his 2000 GT's back to the Toyota dealership's private storage vault, yes vault. Inside on blocks were 2 2000 GT race cars, plus as i added to the vault the others. This was the Private collection of James Moran who owns Southeast Toyota Distribution, World Omni Leasing, Southeast Toyota Motor Finance, and several dealerships. Mr. Moran left us a few years ago, but his legacy lives on.. Great memories never fade......... Bill - Atlanta, GA

    The car that got me started: 2003 Audi RS6. Since I was luckily enough to come across a good living; I now own a RS6, 2006 Audi A8L-W12, and a Audi A6-2.7t version. No matter what's your specific car of passion, enjoy this culture.
