Size Matters (and Garage Flooring)
At the risk of asking a really stupid question
 , can anyone tell me if the width of the Exige S of 68" is mirror-to-mirror or panel-to-panel? I am trying to plan my garage space layout and the flooring for the area.If anyone has a flooring idea too, that would be great. I am leaning towards a tile or a mat surface that I can jack up/jack stand the car and work on it without worrying about it indenting (permanently) and comfortably kneel on or slide around under the car. I do not know if an epoxy surface will stand up to the abuse of me dropping (or throwing) tools. Thanks in advance.

You should check out The Garage Forums and Blog - Garage discussion and Pictures. They have tons of pictures and information about flooring, cabinets, decorating, etc...

Meow talk lotus one day?

Also a good one: The Garage Journal
I did a clear-coated epoxy and have been happy with it. Dropping stuff does no damage. |

My friend has Racedeck tiles in his garage and he's able to jackup his 3200 lbs. car on it and no problem/damage on the tiles. There are cheaper alternatives, but i believe Racedeck is the premium brand for garage tiles. He had epoxy'd floor in a previous house, but he didn't like it and the manufacturer wouldn't warranty the covering when it got damaged...

Thanks for all the links and info - much appreciated, though I am not sure about the tape measure suggestion and if that is to measure the car I do not have yet (I guess I could go to the local dealer), or if it was the tool he keeps handy while checking out those scantily clad women?
 I need the width because the Lotus will have to share the 3rd car space with file cabinets I use for work, so I need to figure out the best placement.In any event, as usual, all you guys have great suggestions and now I just need to decide. I kind of liked the race flooring I saw in the pit boxes at Le Mans too - looks similar to the that race deck. Thanks all........
