    It sure will put Henry's museum to shame. A couple of years ago I had the thrill of meeting Jay and seeing his house of fun. Absolutely stunning, he just kept rolling up doors and there infront of you would be even more cars. Just nuts but in a very good way.

    The thing that is the most striking is Jay himself. As you see him in the movie is exactly how he is in person and it just adds to the experience.

    I just saw a new SLR 722 parking in front of a rather normal house in Frankfurt am Main. Absolutely stunning.
