take a look around you have an extraordinary I'm not sure what to call it garage man cave toy room it's a little bit of everything and every thing when it comes my vision and it's not something that happened overnight you've been working no no I've been working on this place uh like purchased a place 99 um there was only one building which was that building here and I've actually built three buildings since that time since 99. and growing the car location I was growing the car collection I think we're up to about 55 to 60
cars in total so far I'm such a mix I mean yeah no there is a mix you kind of want absolutely a mix of vehicles you have bulletproof night XV next to a school yes and not just just s we should you know cool of some fabulous registration plates license plates on the cards I do enjoy my plates let me tell you it takes a lot to come up with them but there's a few they didn't want to give me the the Knight XV because we met the first time when I actually came nearby when
my Ford GT was being assembled which is here in Canada and you popped along with this this one here it was it was wet out that day so I figured you know what rather than bringing the McLaren or one of my Lamborghinis out that day I figured I'd bring this out which is this would catch your eyes just like in any other vehicle yeah it certainly catches the eye I remember when you pulled up across the road I was looking kind of like what's that crazy thing amazing to see um let's talk cars I mean
no problem inside here everything from your Bugatti Chiron at this end towards the matching green carbon McLarens at the other I I where did it begin oh man wow when did it begin it began a long time ago uh again in 1999 I started collecting Hot Wheels okay and it went from Hot Wheels to cars started buying older cars my first car is actually in the other building was a 55 Bel Air it's in the other building um from the 55 I don't even remember so just taking a look around here let's come talk about
the the share on because you've done a an amazing amount of mileage in your share on yeah I got close to 23 000 kilometers on the car that's I enjoy this car I really enjoy this car that's seriously impressive and it's been driven at quite some speed yes the wife 257 miles an hour and I got a 261 696. so I just went over the limiters I just went over the limiter by a half a mile so you've driven that car at 261 miles per hour correct that's extraordinary and it's full exposed Brown carbon fiber
isn't it red red red Brown yeah it just depends if you're outside and the sun's hitting it it really pops it's a stunning car absolutely it really is but I mean alongside you then have this let's say collection of literally all white cars yes I like white I got a thing for white it just it's it's my angel okay this is the weight it keeps me protected okay I'm a devil when I'm driving this okay yeah yeah for sure we've got there yeah no I really like white it just it's I find white really chose
the lines if I could have got a white carbon fiber I would have taken a white card but they don't make a white the closest would have been like a silver yeah and I'm not that's not quite the same you don't see any silver cars in here no so we've got the mansuri color then yep full Montessori package the R35 GTR yup this is a 2011 Camaro it's actually got a twin turbo okay in there it's got a set of 24 inch with a 405 Tire on it 405 a 405 with I don't think I've
ever even seen a tire that way actually this the school bus has got a 405 on it as well really and then this is the wife's Corvette I built this one for the wife Arctic fox Arctic fox sits very appropriately anything that was black on the car I waited it out I even painted over the carbon exposed carbon fiber that was on this car it's a completely white it out and then I did this one as well this was black and white kind of thing a whole bunch of Defenders were black it was like no
I want a white car but I want a red interior they never offered a red interior okay so I sent the car in and had the red interior done to it wow tub OS exclusive series yes this is in memory of my brother my brother passed away in o1 he left me his Porsche unfortunately it was stolen from the property back in 2000 I believe it was so I decided I needed a Porsche so I can relate with my brother yeah it's lovely they um and then got the SLS this one I purchased for the
wife same time we purchased the Senna okay when I bought the center I saw that my budget for the center was underneath the price that I had planned on pancakes so it left me enough money that I could actually go and put this into the budget squeeze it squeezed it in now these two are very iconic from your collection yes these are the two happy the two hippie mobiles the design on these with all of the Triangular hexagonal crazy shapes and chrome effects and different finishes and they actually glow in the dark really yes if
you take a picture of this car with your flash yeah you'll see a different color okay see the completely like bizarre so you've got the happy hippie event door and the Miss hippie hurricane spider bit of American Muscle Viper next to Ford GT yep snake so this was my mother's car okay she left that for me when she passed and she did it my way I see yeah yeah Continental GT this has been uh this was built actually by white body King in Florida or in California it's been widened I believe at the back six
inches and five at the front but it's been widened yeah seriously it's a wide body Bentley and then the two and then my two McLarens so in its former life I was lucky to see your P1 that's a good eight years ago or so but now of course it has the full green carbon upgrade very limited that's extraordinary and I remember the signatures in the engine broke my license plates are almost the same happy happy happy but this one I got P1 in there yes nice I like that I like that level of thinking I'm
gonna slide back here because I remember in here those were all the team because this car went back once they finished building it that's when they now got signed if I'm not mistaken I think that's amazing to see full full green carbon matching specifications matching chassis numbers yes zero serial number two both number two zero zero zero zero two yeah that's quite fun it is too second he won in the second Center as is the 1950s as 55 1955 wow this is Chevrolet this is a red Syrian cereal number two as well this is a
really special place I love the signs that you have the gas pumps that you have the memorabilia that's all around that's all part of having a car collection in my view yeah you can't just have cars like in the beginning I had all pictures all over the place they were nice but you know what it just wasn't cutting it for myself so I said no I need memorabilia from back in the day yeah and this is what I've been out this is what I go out and purchase all the time it's an everyday thing that
I'm going out and purchasing things it's genuinely amazing when when looking around it's it's almost a struggle to know where to look oh it is I still see I still see new things yeah when I'm walking only because Frank he's switching things around on me yeah yeah so he's my curator but I love the guy guys that's all I can say about Frank it's amazing stepping in the golf carts here we go so we're heading towards the workshop this is my workshop yeah and a little bit of storage just like I said I'm a hoarder

this from Richard when I did my trip down to California nice I went out and filmed with the guys there last year that's cool yeah no it is a really cool car it's hard to drive car yeah but I still get out in it not often I'd rather I prefer this one over that one believe me yeah this one's much easier to drive I'm just a guy looking around you have so many amazing amazing things just all around yeah there's a big Star Wars collection on the back wall there yeah it's not just the cars
is it no it's not just cars you have to have memory but you have to have I don't know you got to become a hoarder collector collector I think a hoarder would be more if you had all of these in boxes hidden away but I'm not going to show you those rooms okay I'm not going to show you those buildings this is this this is stunning with the paintwork yeah that was actually one of my first cars ready wow that's a chip no no just a little bit of dust so what's this Volkswagen got a
small block 350. a little big blower on it oh goodness that looks like it makes for quite a mad Rife right right it's a fun car yeah it's a fun car yes 30 through 33 Willies houses and what else is lurking through here you got a hemi-convertible Challenger Dodge Prowler I mean each of these cars you don't like to keep anything standard no I there's a few that are that are original looking kind of guys but I like custom stuff I'm just into custom yeah keeping it unique exactly characterful Well yeah if anybody can have
a Prowler yeah but now to have one like this one that's a little different sitting low just I I always appreciate color and yeah these kind of things I'm just looking right even your collection of Coca-Cola things it never stops it never stops and I'm spotting the child seat in here that's how the child seats were back in the 50s just clipped on and hung over the back and then on a hard days what they would do on the hot days they would take this and they'd put it here put the baby outside the car
and they go into the grocery store and get their groceries no way because back in the day you could leave your kid outside and he wouldn't get kidnapped nowadays you leave your kid outside see ya yeah the world has changed the world is really changing what is this exactly the car this is a 1957 Bel Air yeah convertible it's got a 283 -speed automatic very elegant yes it looks so much it's got like I think it's got 200 maybe 300 miles on it oh so just literally almost new 287 miles wow original the only thing
that's been changed on this car was the brake lines and the gas lines okay only because the condensation and stuff yeah they rotted yeah yeah I have to change them I'm looking so forward again I've been bugging my guys I get these signs up yeah for the longest time but it'll be amazing oh I can't wait I got 11 you can see the orange cones here comes here yeah they're going to be lined up right here I got 11 of them going there and then we're gonna line the driveway wow okay okay let's go and
see some toys cool kind of where it began yeah this is actually the building where I built my 55 Bellaire oh really this was the building where I built that come on in mind the mess okay I just bought a big toy collection and uh now it needs to be organized this is this is my toy room so this is where it actually all started started with me collecting Hot Wheels when I was a kid yeah all those against the wall over there those are all my original Hot Wheels from when I was a kid
really yeah and then I actually got one box it was back in that building it's got all my red lines okay all the original red lines but you have walls and walls of the Hot Wheels card packets this is this is just looking around looking around spotting things this is so cool all the different models everything go-karts go-kart bikes wow I I could spend hours and hours I know just poking around everywhere I'll play with them I want to hook up some of the Hot Wheels yeah my Hot Wheel tracks I want to put them
all together and start playing you need to build a room that can be the ultimate company that's all coming in I got plans for in here all this stuff will be on the shelves yeah all in here what a time of year as well with all of the orange and red trees it's beautiful stunning but all of the signs and things you have are roundabout Interstate Stein sign signs it's a good thing for science too but I can appreciate how hard it is to collect oh no they are out signs and now price of signs
have gone through the roof because all of a sudden the art collectors yeah they're buying of course with science Automotive signs yeah one sold for 1.35 million dollars wow it drove the sign industry through the roof I can imagine unreal so everyone here home of the Harleys this is where I play bikes hang out that's it this is where the bike's tearing out the Bike Barn yep so the Harleys the small bikes the three wheelers everything so I'm not the biggest bike guy but collection of Harley's kind of his these are basically all Harleys down
this one side here um and then we got over in the back over here we got some Japanese bikes I just bought somebody's right out of his barn I couldn't say no to the price I said bring him over I'll fix them up and do something with them anyways so these are cool these follow the theme of your cars that we correct yeah the same with this one here this was the one that burnt down in Florida right I had built this down in Florida and then it ended up when I left it there that
winter ended up catching on fire wow but it still runs I put a battery in it started up now I just have to have the front brakes done and then a little bit of cosmetic work that's all and get it back into the full order got a little bit of uh Evil Knievel stuff in the corner here uh-huh so that's an Evel Knievel suit and help yeah his old helmet a lot of toys Evil Knievel toys yeah I like toys what can I say I'm just into toys there's nothing wrong with that no no it
just brings back my you know my childhood and like we said it's right it's a collection once you when you're displaying it right and all of the what do you call the mini bikes mini yeah they're all mini bikes they call these little ones Monkey Bikes right I'm just just in all looking around taking it all in and then it takes time to find all the memorabilia that goes just with the bikes yeah it's like it's a never-ending job for me but I love it yeah I love it I tell you I love it I
can be happier going out and finding a new treasure it is very fun as we come past the buildings past everything I'm wondering what's behind what's Behind the Walls of the ones I haven't seen yet oh here we go building the large building down here [Music] this is the new this is the new building that I'm working on shall we come all the way through and reveal come on in you gotta remember it's not done it's still a project on the go but this is this is unbelievable this is this is the ultimate man cave
I've been working on it let me tell you I I almost built it 60 000 square feet what we have here is you got on the floor you have 40 000 square feet on the floor and the mezzanine adds up to another 11 000 square feet so I have 51 000 square feet in total for cars for memorabilia for everything this is I actually did purchase a uh a bumper car ride okay from uh big collector John scaloopy okay anyways from him I purchased this I bought it but then I can't find anybody to pack
it up and bring it home for me it would cost me the Pearson that I did find it would cost me twice as much as what I paid for the ride yeah to bring it home okay so I don't know if I'm gonna sell it I don't know what I'm gonna do with it yet but you've built all of these houses like a straight yes that was my plan it was to have a boardwalk an old pound to walk in and it would reminisce of an old pound and each house will house separate collections collections
of all different things all different things this is the Hippie Hut this is my Tobacco Lounge I'm a smoker I can admit it um this is all tobacco related stuff that will be inside here this side here is going to be Hot Wheels but only for Volkswagens only Volkswagen's Hot Wheel room wow this is the hotel I'm gonna end up putting a bar in here yeah so just to give it that look of a hotel when you walk in kind of thing you got Trump up there we've got a post office here like I said
we're working on everything yeah it just it I just don't have enough time there's not enough time in a day but this is and that's going to be my big arcade room back in there yeah okay that's another 40 feet deep okay so a couple of pool tables all my pinball machines all the kid rides that's all going to go inside here but this is uh my building that one building that is done and this is my barber shop come on in and let's cut your hair wow everything everything step back in time to an
old school barber shop it is too it really is wow is that the idea kind of put in a barbecue you know I just enjoy it I really enjoy this yeah but this is uh you know the the ideas I'm thinking I mean I can tell that you'll have some cars down the sides you'll have space for cars in the middle right and then upstairs you've got all the gas pumps with the actually all the pumps that are down here now they will be up against the back wall so you'll be able to see them
from down here as well yeah this is the most incredible space I've ever seen thank you for this kind of thing appreciate it for a collection I I want to have one of the nicer collections I don't know about the cards but I still want to have a nice place that when you walk into it it gives people a wow I wasn't expecting this no this I I I've been lucky to see some cool places I understand but this is this is a while like I have never gone wild oh those were the cameras up
there yeah that actually uh filmed Evil Knievel jumping the Snake River oh really Canyon I believe it was the actual cameras right that that's the kind of thing that's just yeah it's all that stuff it's just I enjoyed searching for the stuff too yeah yeah I got all neon signs they're gonna hang from up on the ceilings a lot of my bigger other signs I got containers that are full yeah I won't show you that stuff I'll have to come back and visit once all is completed I like that big forward sign I've got I've
got to sign a Ford sign that I thought was big but it's about half the size of a quarter of the size of that I scored that that was a good score yeah I basically that one I think out of all the I think I bought five or six of them because I got the Ford one I got the uh there's a Bentley one there's a Bentley one that I got a Rolls-Royce one this one right here yeah I got that out of there I got the uh that Harley-Davidson sign that's in the other building
done right and here you can see underneath I didn't go over there underneath what I'm doing under here we're still working here yeah so we're doing the ceilings under here so you can see how my ceilings will be all done yeah and I got all LED lighting which is on the floor right here there's two strips of all LED lighting go straight through yeah we've got an elevator to take heavy stuff upstairs yeah and then we got bathrooms in there yeah well the things you need to have in such a place have a look at
butt sink that I put in my bathrooms yeah you know it's just it's those little detail things that just makes it cool yeah because it just makes it the feel of this place yeah so let me just do this but you can see they use the actual pins this was the actual pin yeah one of the dowels that put was holding the barns together the big barns okay yes because all of this is from your older bun right okay so he's got nice uh Stone sinks it's just it's cool I like it I I I
really like it I mean it's it's the dream to be able to put this together this is here I got smoke detectors and everything goes in here yeah smoke and heat the whole nine yards cameras there's probably gonna be 30 30 plus cameras in here yeah you'll see everything going on yeah I'm just I'm looking at the street I mean it takes it's like walking down a High Street to go from 400 feet it's 400 feet long and it's a hundred feet wide okay wow I mean I thought my bond was big at about 7
000 square foot well my firstborn that was I thought my first Barn was big when I first built that yeah and then it was like I got to stop buying cars or I got to buy a new building and that's what happened to the building the new building foreign but I love it my pumps I get off on my pumps I've got one pump from the early 1900s it's coin operated okay so it was either 25 cents 50 cent piece or a uh one dollar piece okay and it would either give you a gallon two
gallons or four gallons really yeah I mean because these gas pumps have become incredibly collectible as well I don't even want to see how much of these guys I really don't a lot more than they were in the past listen I for some of the gas pumps I bought I could have bought two old cars yeah wow wow I mean I I I for one cannot wait to see the evolution of this hey it'll be another I'd say give me another year okay I'd say by September next year we're gonna be four-fifths of the way
there at some point thereafter but then again it's never going to end signed you're always going to be being put up yeah like you go into my first building that we were in and you see all my signs hanging that's how I plan to have this place but I'm gonna end up having some Neons in between as well yeah wow you just have to take a deep breath to take this in it's wonderful thank you one last little thing one last little thing we're going to do a little prayer gosh I've already put a couple
times on the outside yeah these are all old Seven Up oh wow they were actually Billboards back in the day so this is my 1913 church bell over 100 years old [Music] thank you Lord and I thought thank you Lord thank you Lord well Mr Street you gotta play some you just seen Mr Schmidt's place yes and wow what a place it is oh I got one more thing in here oh yeah this is my overhang but I've been working on this it's a drive-through because this is my drive-through I've been working on this Pegasus
oh wow that's a rotating Pegasus wow that would be amazing I came from the 50s yeah I got a couple other cars I forgot to show you I just remember it's like no never-ending toy room I hide them everywhere but I got a few more cars in here oh cool this is the Volkswagen Thing the thing it's actually that's what they called it back from Volkswagen so I took one of these the body of this yeah and I put that body on top of a Nissan GTR okay only thing is I cut 13 inches out
of the GTR so that I could get the wheels in the wheel wells and then what we did we stretched this door this door to about here yeah and we put a panel in here okay we turned it into a two-door yeah we've got a full roll cage in it the whole nine yards I'll bet you it'll beat any of your cars I can imagine based on a GTR but weighs nothing is that that's away at off-site at the moment yeah it's off site it's just having the stereo done I wish it was there um
this is a small block 350 V8 Volkswagen okay which I had customized by uh gentlemen in Texas uh wow Rick Fearless yeah was the one who designed this for me there's over 80 cartoon characters on the roof of when I was a child yeah yeah these are all the cartoon characters of when I was a child bugs Mickey Snoopy Jetsons Batman Tasmanian Roger Rabbit goofy they're all up there oh the memories right the memories and then if you look on the front we've got up here I've got my Bugatti yeah up here I got my
McLaren and then we in the middle here you can see that's the wife's or uh the hurricane see that yeah yeah yeah and then we got a picture of the dog myself the wife right here and then also Waldo Waldo is on the car but it's eight times he's on the car oh really yeah that's brilliant so you know when I go to a car show or something I tell the kids okay it looked pretty wild though yeah and that that makes them really look at the car yeah I can believe it where's Waldo over
here for us it's actually where's Wally okay UK that we call them all though yeah honey wow what an unbelievable tour thank you no problem what an unbelievable place thank you very much you have created something unique in a way I have never seen before I like hearing stuff like that because I know that you've gone to many places and when it puts a smile on your face for me that's a big thing I'm beaming from ear to ear it's remarkable I really enjoy it I thank you very much I can't get my head around
this but while we're standing next to the Tesla Model X plaid I've got to point out something you might have spotted the design has exhaust tailpipes on it as a bit of a play it's also got the Plaid graphic and then around the front to come around towards the front of this with this crazy tie-dye color which is even onto the wheels as well the wheels have the same design it's got this Maserati AMG style Grille up front as if it needs it for cooling the ideas the creativity the freedom the concept of just doing
whatever you want with this is what has taken my breath away completely about it all it's that not being worried what other people think or other people say but being able to do exactly exactly what you want and that is where I think this comes into what I said at the beginning the ultimate of this kind of thing the ultimate definition of a person in their collection their collection of cars their collection of memorabilia their collection of collectibles I can't wait to see the end result and I'm going to need a bit of time myself
to take all of this in we've seen the top you know the things that stand out we've not seen everything the amount of memorabilia the amount of other spaces happy hippie has put together something here that I can't even begin to just contemplate that level of imagination that's what's really stood out here that's what's really stood out about this venue what a fantastic opportunity to bring you along for a tour a huge thanks to Tim for showing us this place his creation because it's so much more than just a collection of cars or a garage
or a collection of something it's everything and it's amazing it's so amazing it's the dream so thank you very much for watching I hope you've enjoyed this video I certainly have but that's it for now and I'll see you again very soon cheers
