I saw a show yesterday which had a modified fire truck and a dual turbocharged rear wheel drive Toronado which he owns.
Popular Science or Popular Mechanics (I forget) had an article about a few of his cars which amazed me.
The guy has an incredible knack for selecting good looking cars.
I bet he owns at least 100 vehicles. And I would imagine the value of his collection is in the tens of millions.
On one of his shows, he had 55 motorcycles in his garage
I know he has an ariel atom since he did blast past me on the 5 by burbank airport... :-)

Wiki says 84 cars, 73 motorcycles, but that was 8 months ago:

If you can get into the secure area, u can check out some of them at the Burbank Airport in one of the hangars
A bunch...

The real question is how many speeding tickets he has
Wasn't his Toronado the one that made around 1500+ hp?Originally Posted by johnnymk
The horsepower rating wasn't mentioned on the show, but 1500 seems conceivable. That must be the reason he made it rear wheel drive.
ive been in the garage before =)...he has atleast 50+ motocycles....and as for cars...well he has about 4 warehouses fulland yes..he did have some twin turbocharged car with 1500+ HP....it was taken from two tank engines..
It was somewhere around that, and it was a Toronado. I think it was in a Popular Mechanics as well or maybe a car mag a while back. I'll look around for it. At any rate, to make any good use of that kind of HP on land you'd need about 12 wheel drive.
