The Lotus' new stable mate

Took delivery about a month ago of my LP640, still in the process of running in - similar colour to the Exige. Obviously total different feel and experience to the Lotus - still love my Lotus though!

Anyway here is a pic, enjoy.

LOL, I find it amusing that since the new guy has moved in...the Exige has been kicked out!!!



Wait... wishful thinking: You love the Exige so much that you took it out so you can drive it whenever you feel like.




Congrats!! I bet it's a completely different car than your f430 also.

Great picture, beautiful cars! That garage would make for a nice "Justification for a Higher Education" poster.

I must agree with all the previous comments... VERY impressive! certainly a jaw dropping collection
I have a very close friend who has a garage like that... they afford it by being in the car sales business! I couldn't believe it when I was 13 visiting them in Florida cause of my great grandmothers funeral, the family friend asked if I knew how to drive a stick (which I did) and offered to let me drive their Ferrari... I guess I have been hooked on exotics since (yes she actually let me drive it in their private community, not on the freeway :'( )

I've only got offroad bikes. Not into road bikes.

I never posted pics of the Arnage, M Coupe and Mini
