Someone has taken to parking their Ferrari 360 spider right at the end of my street, its going to get hit one day. My street has JUST enough room for one car without that thing's fat arse sticking out.

I saw a red Elise today. The dude driving it was avoiding every pothole he could. A rough task in early spring Pennsylvania...

I had to make a rather large delivery to a Lotus dealership yesterday at lunch. They had 8 Elises parked out in the front of the lot, in a rainbow assortment of colors... just looked great in the sun. I asked the guy if I could go for a test-drive sometime next week.. sadly, I don't think they were game.

Steps to sucessfully test driving a car...

Take a friend. It makes you look more serious.
Dress nice. Not too nice though. It makes you look like you have money.
Wash your car before hand. It makes it look like you may be considering a trade.
Lie. You have no intention of buying it. But they don't have to know it.
Be honest. You have no intention of buying it. But maybe driving one will change your mind.
Chit chat with the salesman. They want to get a feel of how interested you are.

This is all, of course, assuming you're over 18. Or at least look over 18.

Sorry, but I doubt it's the LWD model. AFAIK only one exists in Aussie, which isn't blue. Lindsay Fox is the owner, bought it off the stand at the Melbourne Motorshow, so it's unlikely anyone will see it anyway. Even so, it's still a very good spotting, congrats.


Yesterday I saw, in no particular order:
BMW M5, Porsche GT3, Lamborghini Diablo SV, Lamborghini Gallardo, Lamborghini Roadster, BMW M5, Ferrari F40, Ferrari F50, Maserati Gransport Coupe, Ferrari 360 Spyder, 2x Ferrari 550/575, Ferrari 360 Coupe, Ferrari F430 Spyder, Maserati Gransport Spyder, Maserati Quattroporte, Maserati Biturbo Convertible(?, forgot the exact name...), Aston Martin V8 Vantage, Aston Martin DB9 Volante, Aston Martin Vanquish, Older Rolls, Rolls Royce Phantom.


And an assortment of appalling rice, to a wide assortment of cars. *shudders*
