Jon Cole Posted January 18, 2010 Posted January 18, 2010 No, it's not mine, unfortunately. Belongs to someone I know. Those kits are keeping good company BTW the deuce is mine... as soon as I win the lottery.
charlie8575 Posted January 18, 2010 Posted January 18, 2010 Yes, that'll do very nicely.... The kits, not a big rod fan. Now, if that was a nice stocker or stock with a mild hop-up.... Charlie Larkin
RJWood Posted January 19, 2010 Posted January 19, 2010 Now thats what I call a TOYBOX. Gotta be around 700 kits and a 1:1 Flathead deuce. Yup, thats what my garage will look like when I win the lottery.
Crazy Ed Posted January 19, 2010 Posted January 19, 2010 If your Friend needs more room for Kits I'd be willing to haul off that Big Red "Eyesore" Ed
CAL Posted January 19, 2010 Posted January 19, 2010 This is more my kind of garage It's one of Ralph Lauren's garages. I am sure Jerry's garage is pretty nice too. Those guys account for 3 of the existing 10 or so 550s and the Factory has 2.
Nick F40 Posted January 19, 2010 Posted January 19, 2010 Oh my good lord....... they have more than Ferrari themselves!
CAL Posted January 19, 2010 Posted January 19, 2010 (edited) Oh my good lord....... they have more than Ferrari themselves! They, that is just Ralph Lauren's Ferrari collection. exactly. He has some property here and the fence line along the road goes for well over twenty miles, it's funny becuase whoever put up the fence did it backwards according to his wife and she made them do it over - maybe 100 miles all they way around.

george 53 Posted January 19, 2010 Posted January 19, 2010 Hey, if your gonna do it, do it RIGHT the FIRST time,or be prepared to do it over again! The RIGHT way!!!
crazyjim Posted January 19, 2010 Posted January 19, 2010 If I had a nice little coupe like that, I'd give away all the model kits because I wouldn't have time to build -I'd be out driving.
disabled modeler Posted January 19, 2010 Posted January 19, 2010 WOW!!!!! I could live there! Jim did I read it right or Is my vision getting worse...I though it said you would give the kits away to drive the car????? Do me a favor...When you get one to drive tell me where to back a truck in at to load them up.
crazyjim Posted January 19, 2010 Posted January 19, 2010 No,no, no, Mark. If I had a coupe like that I would be out driving it all the time and wouldn't have time to build kits, so I would give them away. I'm not close to having a sweet hot rod like that and don't have nearly as many kits anyway. But I start getting Social Security in March sooooooooooooooooooo maybe I'll start a hot rod fund.
disabled modeler Posted January 19, 2010 Posted January 19, 2010 Hi Jim! Just funin with you....Why not just make time for both?
crazyjim Posted January 19, 2010 Posted January 19, 2010 I think it would be too much fun driving a little deuce coupe around. We have a dune buggy (avatar pic) but it doesn't have a top or glass except the windshield. It can get pretty chiily in there. The coupe would have all the glass as well as heat & AC. That would be a year round vehicle for me. I'll have to start working on my wife to convince her that we NEED a hot rod.
disabled modeler Posted January 19, 2010 Posted January 19, 2010 Hey Jim, Just tell her it would be more comfortable and the birds don't drop on you.
bad0210 Posted January 19, 2010 Posted January 19, 2010 thats well over 700 kits. id say 1000 plus. i have close to 600 and it looks like half that. is that the only place he has them. in my house they are in every closet and one of the empty bedrooms. here in texas, i wouldnt be able to store them in the garage. humidity would be their worst nightmare.

I don't recall how many kits he has, it's in the thousands tho. You should see his hobby room above the garage! He sells these kits in the summertime at an automotive flea market, but sales are slow (plus he charges too high, IMHO) BTW, that's a two car garage... and these are the two cars in occupancy... More soon.
Jon Cole Posted January 19, 2010 Author Posted January 19, 2010 (edited) See what a long divorced, retired school teacher can do after making the right investments? He told me his Harley was courtesy of Exxon. He cashed out wisely before the financial world collapsed. Here is some pics of the hobby room... I guess that makes this the "Exxon Harley" Edited January 19, 2010 by Spyder
charlie8575 Posted January 20, 2010 Posted January 20, 2010 Please tell me that man doesn't drive those around Colebrook in the winter?! Charlie Larkin
weasel Posted January 20, 2010 Posted January 20, 2010 "Clean up in aisle 3 please, clean up in aisle 3..." lololol sheeeesssh, that's not a hobby room, that's a STORE!!!
Jon Cole Posted January 21, 2010 Author Posted January 21, 2010 (edited) Please tell me that man doesn't drive those around Colebrook in the winter?! Charlie Larkin Hi Charlie- Nope... I'm not aware of any Colebrook around here. His two Deuces are parked for the winter as well as the Harley. He is understandably security conscious, and I respect his privacy by not disclosing his location, other than to say that we are all New Englanders. Edited January 21, 2010 by Spyder
Jordan White Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 "Clean up in aisle 3 please, clean up in aisle 3..." lololol sheeeesssh, that's not a hobby room, that's a STORE!!! I second that remark!
