Rob Van Winkle, prominently known as “Vanilla Ice”, has sold over 25 Mio records in recent years and established his status as music “Superstar”.
He recently released his remake of “Ice-Ice Baby” in the UK with Simon Cowell’s X-Factor featured group “Jedward” and holds currently no. 1 for the best selling single in the UK.
The Wellington resident is also known for his passion with exotic cars and racing. He has successfully competed in AMA dirt bike competitions, raced Jet Ski on wild rivers, and owned one of the first “Gemballa’s Porsches” in the United States.
His dedication for supercars, collectibles, exotic cars and especially Cadillac’s, is well known on car shows around Florida, and he owns a stunningly restored 1964 de Ville convertible.
In his music career he met former EMI-executive Dr. Hans Reinisch, who helped Rob achieve selling multiple “Platinum” albums in Austria/Europe. They developed music projects together and became friends in the early 90’s.
Dr. Hans Reinisch, Austrian native, business entrepreneur and resident of Delray Beach, has a career of his own. He was 18 times Austrian champion in swimming and member of the Olympic swimming team for Munich and Montreal.
He successfully managed the first “Health Bio-Trainings Resort” in Austria as CEO, and contracted the Formula 1 Teams under Ron Dennis with Ayerton Senna, Alain Prost, Niki Lauda, Gerhard Berger and Michael Schumacher for their ongoing racing circuit’s check-ups, special health needs and fitness trainings.
His racing genes go back to his grandfather, who was a leading engineer in the development of the Porsche 356 in Austria, and personal friend of Ferdinand Porsche. He has been collecting supercars and vintage cars.
Rob and Hans with their common passion are now developing a stunning new project in Delray Beach, called “TheCarLoft”.

This unique project features 22 individual car showrooms/storages for exotics, supercars and collectibles.
The “Car Garage” will come with durable “racing inspired” marble floors, snap on tools working equipment, high-end cleaning materials and a built in lift can be added if needed.
All units are equipped with “Hi-Tec” entertainment features, such as LCD –TV’s, Dolby surround music and gaming equipment kitchenettes and bathrooms.
The upstairs loft is designed as office or short term overnight stay. It will have an expandable sleeper or Murphy bed, shower, bathroom and all amenities to enjoy and relax.
It is designed as the first “live –in” community for owners with passion for their driving artwork.
The extremely exclusive project comes completely “tricked –out”, “turn-key”, in various individual sizes from 1800-2400 square feet and up to 4 cars per unit for their future V.I.P. owners.
The project will also feature state of the art environmental equipment, such as solar powered lights and water heating, hurricane resistant windows and eco friendly materials throughout.
Therefore the anticipated running cost will be extremely low and affordable and an onsite manager will provide additional service as well as 24 hour security.
“TheCarLoft” Delray Beach site is located just 5 minutes from downtown and its most famous Atlantic Avenue and only minutes away from the sandy Floridian beach.
The Delray site is designed as the pilot-project, and the two entrepreneurs are planning to go nationwide with an already prepared “TheCarLoft-Franchise”.
