There's also this to be auctioned off soon.   Quote:
More pictures here http://www.speed-driven.com/index.ph...up-for-auction
RMSoutheby's somehow got their hands on the ONLY street legal 911 GT1 Evolution and is putting it up for auction. And this isn't just a homologation special either. Someone managed to turn this actual former race car into a fully street legal ride. This car in particular has even won 13 out of 31 races it was in. The auction is set for May 14, 2016 with the car expected to sell between $3 Million and $3.3 Million. Unfortunately high resolution wallpapers are not available at this time.

we will never understand celebrity. Successful life, large collection of cars, house, and woman, then all in a sudden fuck it, let's do charity

Lol what's not to understand about it? Most of them feel empty and if you'd look into life of successful business people, most are highly involved in charity work (albeit some are just for show to make them feel better internally).
Still better than many brainless celebrities that end up killing themselves though.

I'll jump on board with that. It's not like he needs the money so there has to be a reason why he decided to sell. Especially since he's a P-car nut. Charity is one thing but disposing of prized cars from a collection is not the right way to go about it.

I'm guessing that he realizes he can no longer drive them all and give each of them the attention they deserve. I'm sure he has to hire a team to maintain them and drive them once in a while, otherwise, P-cars like any other car, if they sit, they will deteriorate and die.
I think that he is enough of a car nut in general to know that if these cars aren't being enjoyed and will slowly die from aging, he might as well auction them off to people who will put them to good use and make a buck or two out of it.
No shame in letting go.

he collecting 22mil in P car is probably like us collecting few thousands dollars worth of diecast models, hobbies, toys, memorabilia...etc
rich or poor, sometimes people grow out of that interest and decide to sell it all.
If you no longer have interest in those objects, best thing is to sell it to someone else who actually appreciates them.
Plus you can use the money for things that means more to you now. (be it charity or another "hobby")

i think i read it somewhere in a jalopnik article or something, but i recall him giving a statement saying that he doesnt drive all of them as frequently as he wants to and wants to send them back out in the world for someone else to be able to enjoy driving them as he did.
which i think is a pretty nice and touching thing for such a well known car collector such as himself.

He has a 100+ collection so it's not exactly Porsche liquidation warehouse or anything. If this is the type of calibre of cars in his to go pile, I wonder what he considers keep worthy in that warehouse...

Yeah, if you've watched his film Comedian or CICGC, he's just kinda bored. He made one of the best shows of all time. He has everything he could ever want. What do you do when you're as successful as you can be? His hobby is Porsches, so he probably collected like crazy. Just like when anyone gets older, the tendency is to simplify one's life.
No way he has the energy to drive all those cars. So good for him for selling some off. I'm sure his collection of P-Cars is one of, if not the best in the world.
