Its good to dream

Imagine the decision you'd have to make each morning: "hmmm, which one will I drive today?"

or do you think he has a roster system so they all get exercised frequently enough to remain healthy?


and is there any chance in hell that the F333sp is road-legal?

The dude is one of the founders of google So he's flush with cash. The prescence of radar detectors in most of the cars there indicates that a lot of them probably get driven regularly. Nice to see he's an Elise fan with at one of every type of Elise made (well almost). I spotted 2x340R, 2xS1 S160, 2xS1 Exige, S2, S2 Exige

He is, amongst other interests, a specialist dealer. While his collection is magnificent (that's a real Cobra, hiding behind the GT) , not all of those toys are his.

Furthermore, he isn't (as pointed out in the linked thread) Larry Page. He's not an internationally prominent person, 'merely' a succesful local businessman.

"One of my good friends knows his son" should be a bit of a giveaway that it's not LP.

(Please excuse my intrusion into the New Zealand forum, btw, n00b error)

This post has been linked across more forums than I've ever seen. I spotted it over a week ago on a couple of other forums I frequent. It has been quoted as belonging to many including Larry and also the inventor of the "barcode" but as J111 has said he is just a very succesful businessman. One of the well know Porsche guru's Steve Weiner (Rennsport Systems, Oregon) replied "Its here in Oregon,.. He's one of our customers. His 959 Sport is currently in our shop". And when asked "There is a rumor that Larry Page (Google co-founder) is the owner. I don't think that's true. You think?" He replied "You are correct,.....thats not the owner,...."

An impressive collection whoever it is. You guys have got good eyesight. I can't even see a 333sp? Who spotted the 2 RS200's! He's evendently quite approachable about tours around his "shed"...who's keen?

I've gotten past been surprised a bit now after meeting people here in NZ and then finding a collection of fine cars in there garages. You just don't who's got what.

Wow - having looked again, found the RS200's (drooling) and an R5 turbo and what looks like a 205 T16 beside them.

the 333 is between the white 993 GT2 and another 911. looks like an orange '73 RS in one shot, but in others more like a yellow 930 (RUF CTR yellowbird?).

Hehehe... thought so...it is indeed a Radical SR3. See the SR3 on the rollbar side. I'm pretty sure the orange 911 is a 73 RS?

I'm pretty sure you are correct on the R5 turbo etc tho.

whoops, it is too! must have jumped to conclusions after seeing his other fezzas. I must say that in that colour it looks damn similiar though!
