Actually Michael Schumacher's garage is not that huge as you may think.

the cars that he has or has owned in the past is for sure quite long. For example in the beginning of his f1 career he even had Ford Scorpio (!) and Mercedes 500 SL.

However, Shumi's firts big purchase was in 1994. when he bought EB110 SS which had only RWD in weight saving purposes (ordinary EB110 GT had 4 wheel drive).

Since Schumacher went to work for Ferrari, he has had many ferraris but also other FIAT corporation cars. He has owned such beautys as: F355, F456 GT, 550 Maranello, 575M Maranello, 550 Barchetta Pininfarina, 360 Challenge Stradale and ofcource - Ferrari Enzo.

German F1 pilot also has in his garage - FIAT 500 Arbath, FIAT Multipla, Mercedes Brabus T V12, Alfa Romeo 156 GTA Sportwagon, Audi RS6 Avant, Maserati Coupe, Maserati Spyder.

This information is based on Estonian leading car magazine - "Autoleht" 22.03.2004 nr 6 (120)

Some race car drivers are like that. I remember reading an article about a CART driver (Paul Tracy) and he said that he did not enjoy driving exotics. I think if I raced cars professionally, I still would appreciate exotics like Tiff does.

I think so as well....for example Carlos Sainz must have a huge colection of cars, although its impossible to confirm this clue once Sainz has a contract with Citroen, and he doesnt to confirm which car hes got, unless he comments the citroen models that he owns
