I don't know if this one is brand new but the list price is £350,000. Nobody's told me what it is yet so I'm guessing on the model. The green one in the last shot is part of the collection & might be worth about the same.

The person who owns that car also owns many more like it. If I tell you who he is or where that garage is I will be forced to kill you. Wink

I doubt he'd let you drive it but it's just possible I could arrange for you to have a ride in it around Goodwood motor circuit some time. You would have to take your turn in the queue after me. Tongue Wink

Not sure if you spotted it but the green one just visible in my last shot is a Koenigsegg. I think this is the latest model as he had a different one this time last year. I posted a photo of it here at the time. I preferred the colour of that one.

Ah!! What a beauty Grin

I remember a story involving the Koeniggsegg.

I don't know whether you've ever heard of the Gumball races? Basically a rally for rich people involving all kinds of expensive cars. Won't go into details but top speeds of these kinda cars are being reached...

Anyway

One contender driving the Koenigsegg found out that he forgot his gas cap at the last fuel station. He didn't want to drive back... He heard that the fuel cap of the VW new beetle would fit perfectly! He drove up to the nearest VW garage and wanted to buy a fuel cap. The didn't want to sell him one....So...He bought a new beetle took the cap of put it on the Koenigsegg and drove on! Tongue

That's right & I couldn't possibly list them all. Add a couple of Jags, the latest Aston Martin & almost any rare sports car you can think of. I happen to know that he's thinking of selling some as he's running out of space.

PS. I also found out that the Zonda in my photos is the same one that holds the lap record on the Top Gear test track.

Isn't the latest Aston the V8 Vantage? I would give all my limbs to just sit in any of those nice cars. I once drove a ferrari 355 round goodwood for 3 laps and it killed me to get out lol.

Man I've got the driving bug bad. Planes, Bikes and Cars, causes much woe to the girlfriend.
