Interesting little collection I came across....

Postby Mr Revhead » Mon Aug 22, 2011 9:24 pm

So, was in Melbourne recently and stumbled upon this place:

http://www.foxcollection.org.au/

Some simply amazing cars. I saw several cars that I honestly never expected to see in person.

Care to value that room?

Rest of pics here:

I cbf editing or removing double ups.

And yes, I did have to take pics of me touching some of them!

I went there last year when I was in Melbourne, they are open some odd hours though. Pissed off a mate who lived there 4 years and never found it open, I was there a week and checked it out in his advice. :lol:

What I'd do to see an XJR15 and/or an XJ220 in my life, let alone in the same room!

I just came in my pants a bit.
Motorsport is like sex. You could take it to track and have a long, enjoyable session, or you could take it to the strip and get it over with in less than 20 seconds.

I saw the XJ220 in 1993 at the NEC, at the time it was the fastest production car in the world, mind blowing as a 10 year old...

One day some of those cars will be in my garage, the F40, F50 and XJ220 at least.

If only those other pr1cks stop winning my multimillion Powerball jackpots. :mad:

ive raced against a few of them in Classic rallying .. Saw a xj220 , with 2500 KM on the clock , from a collectors museum in the UK destroyed on the first stage of the day ..

Guy put it nose first into a bank and wrote it off , along with his , and his co drivers wrists , ribs , and the drivers neck ..

They were not built for corners and inexperienced richpricks with too much cash on their hands to appreciate the car they had.
