Hello from Austin Texas
Hello, I have been reading this site for almost two years. It was from once-a-week reading til at least twice-a-day reading. This is a great site. I have received alot of valuable Lotus knowledge. Finally, I decided to get a 2006 Lotus Exige. My friend and I will fly to LA for collecting the car, and drive back to Austin. This is going to be very exciting. I will post some pictures of the car after coming back from LA.

Here are some pictures during Roadtrip from picking my car in LA, California back to Austin, Texas. The car is from lotuselise7, and He is a great guy.
Thank you so much to my friend, Colinwoon, who went along to pick up the car. He took all the pictures. More pictures in the following link. http://colinwoon.blogspot.com/2009/1...es.html Picture 1: Meeting with my new car Picture 2: Putting the Red Stucco Tape on (Special thanks to good2go who introduced this amazing tape for long trip purpose. Good Stuff!!!). lotuselise7 (white shirt) is helping on the tape. As I said - great guy! Picture 3: Taping is done Picture 4: Time to be on the road. Yes, going fast - 80mph before sunset. Just to be clear, 80mph is not over speed limit. In fact, there is 80mph speed limit along I10 for at least 8 hours (out of nowhere) Picture 5: After many hours driving, tape goes strong!

More pictures...
Picture 6: Tape going strong 2 - rear. In fact, the tape is very easy to remove. Just use alittle bit Meguiar's Scratch X, if there is remaining adhensive on the paint. No hazard... Picture 7: Sunset is coming, and better get back on the road. Last edited by LotuShii : 10-19-2009 at 10:38 AM. |

Congrats! If I hadn't bought my SB '06 Exige in April from FVMC, I so would have bought this one. Great looking car and lots of goodies already installed. Maybe we'll see you at MSR Cresson soon?

Jeez...can't actually think of the last gathering. I think there is a Hill Country Drive in November. Of course, that might be 30 people's worth of drinks, including the owners of the other types of cars.
Hill Country Drives
