All this reminds me of my wife's brother. He has a 2002 M3 which has done only about 1000 km in the 7 years he has owned it. A '79 911SC which has used one tank of fuel in about 10 years, and not been driven more than 20 km at a time. Also has about 24 motorcycles, a few of which are classics but about 8 are brand new bikes which have never been used at all, just sitting under covers. And not really collectable bikes at all. I can't fathom his logic, I keep telling him that all of this stuff needs to be used, since motor vehicles are not designed to just sit there. I think a lot of it could end up being of little value. His DD is a commuter bike. I suppose he thinks that one day all of this will be a desirable collection, but not in our lifetimes in my opinion.
