I guess we all have that dream, where our garage is unlimited in size and we can afford to buy all those cars we want, from the great, significant cars to those unloved and forgotten ones.  Not many of us get to realise that dream, sometimes those that do only concentrate on those big money super cars and forget the lower level rides, so we tip our hats to people like Nick Mason, Jay Leno* and Italspeed for having such diverse collections.

Jay Leno has a great website, Nick Mason has a fantastic book, so we're going to give you some info about the rather wonderful Italspeed collection.

Based in Los Angeles, Dirk Stoehr of Italspeed has a collection of Italian cars that should ignite the blood of any car lover, Alfa to Maserati, everything in between and beyond.  Predominantly the collection is Alfa Romeo based the collection is open to visitors and indeed some parts of it are for sale, so maybe it’s time to dip into our pockets and head to LA.

Whats more Italspeed host a month Alfa Romeo gathering for those of you lucky enough to live near them.

You can see more photographs of visits to the Italspeed collection here :

Maybe one day people will write about visiting the Retro Scene Mag car collection ......

Note : No update tomorrow I'm afraid, we'll make it up to you next week, promise.
