I'm much younger than Demi. 

That Volvo rod is amazing.

Yes, very nice.

From the link above...

"On April 14, 1927, the very first series-produced Volvo car left the factory in Göteborg. The model was called the ÖV4 (the Swedish abbreviation for Open Car, 4 cylinders), but it soon gained a new pet-name â€" Jakob.

As the hundredth anniversary of the ÖV4 rolled around, Volvo commissioned Leif Tufvesson, winner of awards such "Hot Rod of the Year" and "Most Innovative Car", to build Hot Rod Jakob."

As the hundreth anniversary...ROLLED around?  Past tense?

April 14, 2027 isn't for another 15+ years.

back to the goods

Been meaning to post these up for sometime. Long story short, my brother is friends with this guy. His "garage" is actually a 3 section warehouse. First section is all exotics, middle is mainly Corvettes/GM stuff and last part is Muscle cars and "kit"cars.

Was a great afternoon with my brothers, Dad, and a guy who just loved to talk about cars.

That is an absolutely unbelievable collection!

Funny, we kept saying that the whole afternoon. Was funny to see an Audi a8 next to a Reveton or the Phantom, but who am I to critique your garage.

The owner came out for a little while to see my brother who was in town and he was kind enough to start the Enzo for us. Wow is all we could say.

Hope he drives them all..

Not enough days in the year to enjoy all those cars.

Most are garage queens. I dont think anyone drives their Reventon, much less some of those that are almost priceless in the auto world. He says he takes each one out to make sure they still "work", and he also puts many in car shows here locally which he drives them too.

Was funny to hear him talk about the Ferrari's. He said each one had an aftermarket exhaust and "modded" somewhat which made me think of our Monsters. Couldn't live with the factory stuff.
