TimeOut

my friend Laurent - aka Noodia - is a famous French vintage Heuer collector. He also like cars. He has kindly invited some friends over to visit his secret lair, somewehere in Paris. This has been a unique experience in my life of pistonhead. Judge by you...  

Will call him for a free ride! Best, Nicolas.

It looks more like Iron Man Tony Stark or Batman Bruce Wayne's garage! Lot of cool cars, especially the yellow Dino and Gold AM! -MW

Cool looking. Kit car? And those AMs are fantastic!

A Cord is no kit car.

Very nice classic car collection especially the Ferrari's. Does your friend take them out regularly or just keeps them in the garage? Regards, ED-209

Great report Jeff! And what a blast, we were so lucky to be there!...the sound of the engine of the Mangusta keeps coming back in my head!...you didn't mention we were so lucky we could go inside the cars, so let me share some of the feelings of the insid...

racing cars and racing watches..what a visit...scary Lair..I would love to be locked in that lair...

I'm speechless...

Well, managing two mechanical passions is even better right ? Enjoying them is a lifestyle, sharing them a must. Nicolas, my lair will be happy to welcome you too, Jeff and Matt, we already have some Spring projects right ? I'll be happy to share a Heuer ...  

Would be most interested to hear the stories behind your watches and cars... Maybe some of the watches and cars have parallel stories. Truly an impressive collection of fine machinery; both watches and cars.

Too bad we didn't manage to talk more on the October GTG. Anyway I sure hope we can see more of these vintage Heuer here with you join us here. Regards Tyler

I would be more than happy to read a review of each one of your precious vehicles on TO, Laurent! Wonderful to see such classics being cared for and loved. Superb! Andrew

only two posts though - surely you must visit us more often, my friend.

Forgetting everything else in the garage (How??!! How can one forget that??!!); forgetting everything else just for a moment, that first car is a 250 GT SWB, isn't it? Really? Is Laurent looking to adopt? Cheers, pplater.

And there's only the supercool cars in there ... . A luck i wasn't there or all these cars were covered in drool !!! I met Laurant at the gtg and told me about the Mangusta, didn't know he had other great cars .... . "chapeau" for a very modest bloke with...

because I expect to see it parked next to so many mythical beasts.

I have to admit not a bad collection at all! Are all those cars belonging to one collector? I have to admit the prize car in that entire collection is the Aston Martin DB5 /DB6 Volante. Its a dream and very hard to find. My compliments to your friend. bes...
