Not so fast!  There's a VW Beetle there too, at 1:14. :lol:  Anyone know where this place is??  Orange and black plates are Britain, but these look different.

You can tell from that huge goofy white van in the first half that this is Japan, but where in Japan I have no idea.

It is possible that this is NOT a garage where all these owners live or work. In japan parking is at a premium, many homes or apartments have NO garages available. Even street parking is assigned and paid for IIRC. This is most likely a "rich toy" garage. All these people pay for a spot and can come and go as they please when they are looking for a good time. This garage may just be nicer and better secured than most(or be in a prime location) which would explain the large dense collection of expensive metal.
