Ker-ching... ;)

Money to spare... indulge in your hobby... cash in when you can... keep what you want to on the ranch... can't take it with you...

The value of Nick Mason's car collection would possibly make this pale into insignificance... one of his purchases in the 70's has an estimate in excess of £40m and a rare Jag is a £10m... that's just the tip of the iceberg...

Nick Mason's cars... a teaser...

Who's the American TV guy who's a real petrol-head...? Jay Leno...? Another monster collector...

"El Caminos? He's got 'em from 1964 to 1972."

Well, shucks, he doesn't have my favorite, the 1959 first year model.

 When I visit my train buddy it's always a treat to see some GTOs, or Goats as they say
This fellow won a Concorse Gold medal at the GTO national show, it's perfectly, lovingly restored to showroom condition, the metal on this car is simply spectacular.
 

Sometimes a few come for a visit.
 

A very rare one, less than 4 cars were built to this specification.

 

This '70 Firebird is probably my fave.

Do they have pickup trucks in Europe?

I believe that may not be exported to the US. VW didn't want a war with US car makers.

I have lust in my heart for that '66 GTO that Mark's friend has.   :thumbsup:
