One word - WICKED!

RE: New TOY! GT!
 

Pretty car but two questions - is it yours, and two, is it really a handbag under the center console.

RE: New TOY! GT!
 

i agree with kevfran's questions.

RE: New TOY! GT!
 

Yellow looks nice.:D

RE: New TOY! GT!
 

Very Sweet!!!!!!!!!! This car Rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I would like to drive it for about 4 years.

RE: New TOY! GT!
 

What a stunning car!!!

I don't agree with VW_R32 though, yellow's okay, but it just ain't my thing!!

Did you pick the colour? I like 'em in black! But, at the end of the day.....it's a Carrera GT....awsome!!!

Why not post these pic's in the gallery?? [sm=bling.gif]

RE: New TOY! GT!
 

this guy seemed to have come and gone in a hurry

RE: New TOY! GT!
 

ducati,

how long you had it. Which yellow is it. Ive got one too. How many miles

RE: New TOY! GT!
 

That's not a handbag.... it's an accessory bag to keep in whatever small items you might want to.

RE: New TOY! GT!
 

That is an impressive set of cars Do you really own all these? These are such great cars, but I'm curious as to why you picked such a very narrow set and so much alike. Most collectors pick a wider range, including something British (the Bentley Continental coupe or an Aston Martin Vanquish with its 203 mph top speed, etc.) and some old stuff (e.g., a 1967 Ferrari long-nose GTB, an old Talbot-Lago or Maserati, etc.).

Do you really own all these?
 

Yes..... they're all mine. I really don't think they're that much alike. Each one has it's own personality. I'm not a collector but a driver. I drive these cars all year long.... even in the Winter if there's no snow or salt dust and small gravel left over on the road after a snow. Sorry my choice of cars bums you out. Michael :)

RE: Do you really own all these?
 

Hey, they're your cars and if they make you happy, fine. It's just most collectors go for more variety and it was among the narrowest collects I'd seen -- sparked my curiosity as to why you made the selections. I know a few who are similarly in love with a certain era or style. I have one friend whocollects only 1930s coupes - a Talbot Lago and two Delahayes, etc., but most folks seem to pick and choose across decades and types.

Me, I have the three and let my wife spend the rest on art we hang on the walls. Exciting in a different way.

To each his own . . .

RE: Do you really own all these?
 

Hey Willis, where have you been? You seemed to have dropped off the earth -- not showing up for the meetings at Harris. I tried to e-mail you but you don't seem to exist anymore, at least according to the internet.

And what is this about art you hang on wall? Isn't the classic 911 shape enough for you?

RE: Do you really own all these?
 

Sorry about that. I left the former company and two partners and I did a technology start up and rather quickly found backing - someone with a lot more money than we wanted but much bigger expectations. I won't be coming to the nuke plant review meetings any more: involved strictly in T&D now and just in utter chaos hiring management, etc.

I have your e-mail and will send more when I can.

The 911 is a very clean and technically elegant design, but not pretty in my mind. I'm probably in a small minority, at least on this forum.

Real art is what you hang on walls or put on display pedestals. We have three types: stuff we like that will never appreciate - some neat folk paintings from the Carribean, some American Indian folk art, some oils and pastels that we just find nice; then stuff we like that we think has appreciated and is now worth something such as a Julio Larraz and a Paul McMillian, etc., and then a few pieces of "glamour" art - "minor" works by big name artists, but still stuff that we like: like a Picasso titled "the Little Bullfight" and an incredible original print by Rembrandt himself of The Raising of Lazarrus (really - stuff like this is not cheap, but sometimes costs no more than a good sports car). Right now I'm trying to buy a Whistler (not his Mother, his mistress actually).

anyway, I will be in touch

RE: Do you really own all these?
 

Well, Willis. Not heard from you since that one e-mail. did you get the whistler?

RE: Do you really own all these?
 

I just sent you an e-mail but remember I'm not that far away, I'm still rented space on the same server as your company down here.

And yes, I did get the Whistler - took a bit of negotiation and a long wait for crating and shipping: they don't just pop something like that in the post. But it's gorgeous, a print of his girl friend Eloise. She was nick-named "Fumette" (comtemporary term for "racy woman") and that is the title of the piece (no pun intended). It is just gorgeous. So, I really do own "Whistler's Mistress" How much did he love her? Well, this is an etching (black and white) whereas he did his Mother in oil.

Had bad luck with the Porsche. Some nut drove me off the road into a curb and I badly scuffed up the passenger side wheels. It will be laid up for a week while they are sent off to be ground down and re-painted.

RE: New TOY! GT!
 

I think youv'e made an excellent choice on color with the yellow. I also like it because the contrast with the silver engine covers looks great. Would definatly get yellow on black if I bought one! Quik question, how long did it take you to decide you were going to buy a carrera gt?

RE: Do you really own all these?
 

Very nice collection of cars! And love the cobalt blue on the turbo.

RE: Do you really own all these?
 

why is the CGT in the 1st pic yellow and the one in the 2nd pic silver?

RE: Do you really own all these?
 

Different dudes

RE: Do you really own all these?
 

Doesn't look like ducatiguy is coming back
But
magwheel. i'd like to know where you work. i've been asking random people how they make the large amounts of money they have b/c i one day want to be that successful too. And its obvious you have plenty of green to throw into your auto habbit. so how did you do it and how long did it take?
anyone else is welcome to answer this question too in how they became wealthy.

RE: New TOY! GT!
 

WICKED MAN!! love it. but i have a question. why did you choose yellow?
Black or silver is way better man. But CGT is the best car man. i love it.

RE: New TOY! GT!
 

Very impressive set of cars. I just posted a Porsche GT question and your cars would give you good insite on comparing the Porsche GT to others. I am thinking of adding to my collection. I have a Ferrari 599 on order for early next year but i am thinking that the Porsche GT might be a nice car niche I do not have. Your comments and thoughts are appreciated.

My car collection includes:

2006 Ferrari F430 F1
2005 Lotus Elise Sport (#8 of 50 built for racing)
2005 Ford GT
1965 Shelby Cobra 427 (kit car)
1999 Porsche 911 CAB
2005 Mercedes Benz E320
2005 Demon Chopper
2006 Vrod Screaming eagle
2006 Honda Goldwing
2001 Highlander
