    The guy's name is Thor Johannessen - at this date he lives in Norway, but he has TWO major castles in France - where he spends his sparetime (!)
    All of his collection is in France - and all the vhicles are registred and driveable.
    In the picture in my newspaper he is sitting inside his Le Zebre 1909 model in his livingroom!
    Note that he dont have a 250 LeMans or the Enzo in his collection...yet...
    Think I'm gonna pay this guy a visit....

    I wouldn't even want such a collection !!! LOL
    Don't think I'll ever go over 10 cars.
    Does this guy think he should be some sort of automotive museum? LOL. That's pretty insane. How can he take care of all these?

    I wouldn't ever want a collection like that, but if I had a ton of money I'd probably get myself in to a lot of trouble and buy a ton of cars. I wonder what his insurance bill is like.

    Cars that don't get driven often enough go downhill mechanically faster than cars that are driven regularly. With 88 cars, he would need several drivers just to excersize each car every week.

    People with such collections generally employ
    in-house mechanic(s). A good one likely pulls down
    $75-100K yearly, some with housing provided.
