    Took these pics tonight

    I had all these cars detailed today and tried to take a pic before it got dark, the sun sets too damn fast! Here they are none the less. Hope you like them!

    Looks nice Mike!

    .. If the shots were stills from a film promo, the Roller and Lambo add a dose of ominous and the Lotus seems to be the getaway car.

    This is borderline automotive pornography.

    That is exactly what I was thinking when I saw the word "promo" in Jim's post.

    Beautiful pictures Mike , yes it is a pity it became dark fast.

    I feel naughty looking at these beautiful machines but I cannot help but stare. Like a young lad opening staring at his first high-brow entertainment magazine.

    Mike, I recall your past threads about ordering some of these cars, I never imagined you amassed such a collection.

    What brand of battery maintainer works best for you? Or do you manage to keep them run up?

    Beautiful photography.

    It's "RG" or "Rennteam Guidance" suggested.

    Thanks Modrocket, I still feel like a 10 year old everytime I back these cars out into the open. Also just took a quick step back for a reality check and pinch myself Truely blessed to be in a position to keep them under my roof. The scary thing is the other half isn't in the pic

    Hi Jim,
    The only maintainer I use is from Porsche. How ever I only use it on the 997 - the other cars except for the daily's have switches to turn off the battery, so when ever I want to use them again it's a simply flick of the switch

    For sure, I guess I always thought you might have sold or traded them off. I recall a time when you just purchased a brand new car and next thing there was another post about a new car. So tell me, after seeing the Pagani Zonda S at Kyalami, is there any chance you would order a future Pagani model for that garage?

    Hmmm, those are quite hard to come by on this side of the country. If you go further north it's pretty normal to have them drink out of your pools

    I didn't do any trade ins/sales this year except for the Range Rover Sport and the silver ML63AMG - the rest of the car I have kept.

    Yes, but the Zonda F! Also with a monster of a price tag I will need to start saving now we will see what the future brings, if I had the $ now I'd be all over it!

    Only done it from a roll - from around 60mph to around 130mph - the M6 only pulls 1-2 car lengths ahead

    Re: Took these pics tonight

    Love your cars, adore your garage

    I'd be very interested in seeing how your house is designed with the amount of garages that you have, but I do of course realize posting a blueprint of your house in SA won't be the smartest thing to do..

    But perhaps you might cast some light on this question instead, whether all your garages are connected to your house our not?
