As I pull into the driveway leading to the building at 8990 Research Blvd., I see a sign above the door that reads Trinity Tile Supply. It’s just a decoy—a sign left behind by the former tenant. What’s really inside is Austin’s rare car collector toy box, an upscale storage warehouse for those with classy and expensive automobiles who need quick and easy access to their fine rides.

I manage to wangle a visit to the Petrol Lounge from Andrew Fish, whose Ferrari Club of America Hill Country chapter members are meeting for breakfast tacos and a walking tour. My first indication this isn’t your usual warehouse greets me the moment I enter the front door. Off to the right is a custom slot car track that blends popular features of several famous race tracks. It’s functional too—a self-contained track with dozens of toy race cars gracing the borders. As I walk farther into the warehouse, I discover where the real toys are hiding.

During my 30-plus years as an automotive writer, I have attended dozens of car shows, exclusive car museums, and classic car auctions. So I’ve seen my share of “wowzer” assemblages of expensive cars. But this was the first time I had seen a storage warehouse jam-packed with more than 100 hot cars—some worth more than $2 million.

Fish introduces me to the Petrol Lounge’s three business partners: Glen Leif Nordell, Randy Whitten, and Jack McCauley. All have a passion for motor sports and are either amateur race drivers or instructors for various driving schools. In 2014 the three teamed up with well-known Austin race car driver and collector Jeff Mosing, who was looking to store his personal collection. After purchasing the property, Mosing installed the necessary upgrades, including air conditioning, an improved electrical system, and fire and security systems, as well as the ramps needed to drive in and out.

“Jeff uses half the storage space for his cars, and we have capacity for about 50 more. We rent space for $295 a month,” says Nordell, who proceeds to take me on a guided tour.

The first cars that grab my attention are two Ferrari F-40s, built between 1987 and 1992 and worth at least $2 million each. Next sits a row of Porsches, including a 356, plus two other rare models—a 1959 Porsche farm tractor and a burgundy 918 Spyder, one of only three in Austin, according to Nordell. All belong to Mosing, as do the stunning 1960s Jaguar E-Types and BMW Z8 sitting nearby.

Next I notice two models that couldn’t be more diverse—a shapely white Jaguar Mark VII sitting next to a fully restored Volkswagen 23-window bus. Nordell tells me the VW is worth at least twice as much as the Jag: $200,000.

This is more than just a fancy parking garage. “We provide a concierge service,” Nordell says. “There’s absolutely no joy riding with owners’ cars. We coordinate all the pickups and deliveries of the vehicles at the customer’s request. And all the cars are on trickle chargers to ensure they’re ready to go at a moment’s notice.”

While the Petrol Lounge has its share of rare Porsche, Ferrari, Maserati, Jaguar, Lotus, Corvette, MG, Austin-Healey, and Shelby Cobra sports cars, they also store vintage luxury models and muscle cars. Others currently in storage include Mercedes, a Land Rover, a 2005 Ford GT, and a rare 1969 Pontiac GTO Judge with Ram Air 4.

“We’re actually bursting at the seams and are actively looking to open a second Austin location. No doubt about it, this is really a dream job for me,” Nordell says. For a car lover, how could it not be?
