no limits as such. there are ppl who do own just
about everything you can think of. i know a couple.
generally the idea of the poll is a PERSONAL dream collection, with cars that mean something to you or are particularly appealing to you for some specific reason. so RUF models that you can't keep track of wouldn't fit the spirit. a mclaren f1 is fine if you appreciate the engineering, the packaging, etc., but wouldn't be if it's because you heard it's the car to have.
not that i'm creating 'rules' here, just explaining my perspective.

for me the mclaren is an exercise in making
zero compromises in the engineering. But I also heard it's badass.
