So if you're nuts, so am I. Two Audis, six full sets of wheels (four alloy, 
two steels with M&S). Three complete sets are now residing more or less 
permanently in my hallway, as is one unused full-size Ronal R8 spare and 
one steel spare is in the toilet (the result of a joke). Friends are 
likening my apartment to a KwikFit branch, one of the benefits of being 
single is that no-one else really cares.

Oh, and there's a passenger seat from an '85 90 in my hallway, waiting to 
be converted to an office chair. And a Thule rack for the type 89s I bought 
used recently, leaning against a stack of wheels.
