Yeah - I remember you saying it wasn't George Lucas' collection.
I had a scour around on Google and couldn't find anything - I even checked your photobucket!

Sorry guys, that isn't Lucas's car collection...
This is from one of the guys on my board...
I don't think that's George Lucas's collection... 1st of all they're Oregon plates. I think that belongs to the Tonkin family... they owner of a local chain of car dealerships called Ron Tonkin, including Ron Tonkin Gran Turismo which was the 1st Ferrari dealership in North America. In fact, I'm sure it's him... AFAIK he owns the only Enzo in Oregon
And another...
Top garage but why so many lotus's ??
My guess is that there is a big Lotus dealer, Ron Tonkin, who he is good friends with and he takes all the lotus' to the track.

I've done some digging around and the only photos I can find are these of Ron Tonkin's car collection...
http://www.pbase.com/bigbill25/tonkin_cars
I don't think that's the same collection though - I've found a forum that posted about this car collection. Apparently it's Larry Page, one of the founding executives at Google. He invited a group of people from the USA BMW Owner's club to see his car collection (why I don't know). I found a link to a forum showing more details on it here (still no pictures though )
