Any bets on how many of these have Raby Rebuilds in them? I bet that 356 is an Outlaw.

Holy smokes! At first glance I thought it was a toy collection in a sectioned box! LOL!! I'm on my first 986 and riding the snot out of it. If the opportunity arises for an S model I'd sell my 986 to help with the cost.

All have my engines except the 308 and the SC in the upper corner. I have the Testarossa engine apart now. I don't know how to drive a car thats not Raby powered :-)

Multiple Porsches....

I have three right now, including 968 cab, 986 and 996. I recently sold my 80 911 weissach. I practically gave it away. It developed cancer and i didnt want to spend the money to fix it. The 968 is a nice car for what it is but i doubt it will ever be a collectable to anyone other than fans of the 4 pot porsches. Its not as powerful as a 944 turbo but it has more usable torque throughout the rev range. The 968 is my wife's car, but she rarely moves it. 10k miles in the last 10 years. I occasionally drive it just to keep the oil moving around and anytime i feel like taking a top down drive. I jeep the hardtop on boxster except when intake it to the shop I had one each of the four most affordable porsches until i sold my weissach, but ive spent a lot keeping them road worthy and upgraded. The boxster is raby powered and hopefully so will the 996 be soon

How often do you drive these Jake?

Just curious. I have a friend here in town who has 12 cars. Including an old Testarossa, a 68 Shelby Cobra (immaculate), a 69 Camaro Z28, a 65 Vette, among others.

I'm always curious how much you actually drive them when you get to x number of cars. I've been thinking about is, because I'm thinking of taking the plunge next year and buying an 05/06 C6 Vette in Yellow to sit in the garage next to the 986. Different urges.

I love my Boxster….absolutely love it, and I've never driven any other car that handles this well. At the same time, I occasionally get the urge to just have pure muscle and horsepower…having both would allow me to satisfy both urges.

Of course, then I worry that perhaps I have a problem, and would I actually drive either of them enough to justify the expense?

I dunno….

Great looking stable!

Might consider adding some sufficient lighting

My avatar is outdated, the black 924SE has been replaced with a black 1983 944 track car.

I count 10 cars but only two water pumps in the Raby Collection. That's probably the way Jake wants it too...

I'm currently only sitting on one Boxster at the moment but I do love it so!

Absolutely... The 5 ton and LMTV military vehicles, as well as the MB500e and Gelandewagen aren't pictured, neither are 7 more aircooled cars :-)
