That would be a great choice! IMO it's one of the most beautiful cars at this moment. Beside it makes a nice sound

I was asking myself this the other day. Michael, you've all these modern supercars, but no classics. Did you never fell in love with the sheer beauty of some classics?

@magwheel a man with taste!!
phew, that's an impressive stable! as for the daily driver, i.e. replaceing the Range, DB9 is indeed an eyecatcher and would perfectly fit into your
garage but considering all the sporty GT's you have I would recommend a
Maserati Quattroporte Sport GT as a daily ride, also an alternative if you
take some friend around!
good luck finding the appropriate Range replacement!!
cheers
Iwan

Looking at this collection makes me pause and is now giving me a headache. Maybe because it's 444am or i should be sleeping already. I honestly didnt see this thread for the whole time I've been on JW. I only heard about it from Sir_GT a few days ago in front of his house. I wasnt even looking for it but when I saw this thread I was thinking "is this the fellow that Sir_GT told me about?".
I havent really taken a good look at your collection for very long in fear of myself being sucked into looking at it for longer than it is healthy. The cars are beautiful and I wish I was the one who took pictures of your collection. Not in my wildest dreams could I imagine accumulating that many nice cars at any given time. Living where I live would make ownership virtually impossible to enjoy because of the bad roads and traffic. Then again I could probably build my own FIA-certified race track for trackdays with friends & family.
Seeing your collection inspires me to work a bit harder in what I do now and your giving credit to your father reminds me that we must cherish the time we have with our family. My mom also had a close call with cancer but we got it out in time but it still haunts me when I hear the C word.
I think it is great that you're sharing this. It brightens up the day of a lot of people.

Hi evoWALO, Listen to me and watch my little silver chain...... You are under my power and I command you to read the entire thread on my cars. You can not stop reading until you have finished the whole tread. Afterward you must write a report and say you really, really like my cars. OK.... OK..... Just kiddin!
Thanks for the compliment! I wish I could say I worked my ass off to acquire these cars but as you know it was my Father who busted his butt all his life that gave me the ability to enjoy these cars.
I had a scare myself 2 years ago when I was diagnosed with prostate cancer. I didn't want to take any chances and had my prostate removed. Kinda humbles your ass no matter who you are when you have to wear diapers for 8 months because of incontinence.
I'm really glad to hear that your Mother is OK. Tell her I said hi and to please stay healthy! Glad you enjoyed my thread. Magwheel

I didn't keep my word!
I hope Jabba and TT will forgive me. I had meant to post this following story here but somehow managed to screw up and put it in a new thread area. Perhaps nthfinity can repost the pics of the 997 Turbo here so this thread can continue on. I would really appreciate it!
Well, I guess I didn't keep my word when I said I was done buying cars for a while. A friend of mine mentioned to me that he was at our local Porsche dealer and he saw a new 997 Turbo there. He said it was outrageous and I should stop by and check it out.
This is at the same dealer I had a problem with when I bought my 2003 GT2. His GM screwed me into a 4 year lease deal saying Porsche wouldn't approve a 3 year lease. I found out 2 weeks later that it was a lie by the GM so he could reap more kickback from the 4 year lease.
Ironically, one of my sons called me the same day and said he had drove by the dealer, saw the Turbo, stopped in and freaked out over it and he too thought I should stop in to check it out.
So with that agitation, I knew I needed to pay the dealer a visit. Well I jumped in the Carrera GT and went to the dealer's new showroom. Sure enough, there it was on the spotlight stage, a new 997 Turbo in Colbalt Blue Metallic with Stone Grey leather interior. It was beautiful. BUT it had a 'SOLD' tag on the windshield! Bummed out!
I called the owner over, had a friendly pow-wow, smoked the peace pipe and then asked what was the situation on the 997 Turbo? He told me it was 'supposedly' sold to a car dealer (non-Porsche) in Florida but he hadn't done any paper work on her yet.
Long story short...... he decided to sell it to me..... at STICKER..... $132,905. I guess he was trying to mend broken fences! I certainly appreciated his gesture no matter what the reason.
It's an awesome car with unreal power as far as I can tell. I'll give everyone some more reflections on her at a later date.
Meanwhile, I hope you enjoy the story and pics of the 997 Turbo. Magwheel
p.s. If the pics for some reason don't get transferred here, just go to the Dedicated Car Section and look for the thread..... 'New Addition For My Condition'.

R U Kiddin? I'm the one who should feel jealous! I'd give up all my cars to be 16 again. You've got a long lifetime ahead of you. Just work hard and live an honest life and someday you'll probably having a nicer line-up than me! Mags :hello:
