Everything that you think is real is probably real in his collection.

Such an awesome collection. I'll echo what others have said about it being cool to see a Miata sharing a garage with an Enzo.

That is a great collection but at the same time a little sad. I suspect a large proportion of those cars hardly ever get driven from one year to the next. And I suppose you could say that of most large collections which just sounds like a waste to me.

I have always felt that one of the biggest joys of owning a great car is allowing others to see it being driven. That's why I always give a big thumbs up or a clap when I see someone out in their supercar. They are providing a much needed public service and putting a smile on people faces

I agree...but as I said before, Ron Tonkin, the owner has been sick for the past couple of years and so thusly has been unable to enjoy his cars. I believe he drove them fairly often beforehand. He'd go on drives with the Ferrari club from what I've heard.

you get the impression he has quite an ego with RON TONKIN plastered everywhere, but i suppose if i was the owner of all those beauties i would be a bit arrogant as well

Any opportunity to promote your business is a good one! I'm sure Ron Tonkin is stuck in any car buyer's head in that area. Plus Ron Tonkin is a kick ass name.
