Im 6'4". no lotus for me.
This was my "best" ride, but he's gone now, he was 26 when he passed...
This guy is my "replacement", got him as a four year old, ( he just turned nine) and he's coming along nicely. He's a little bigger than what I prefer, (I'm a bit over 6' so you can see he's pretty tall, and weighs an easy 1300) but a great attitude..
Teddy Roosevelt said it best: "Theres something about the outside of a horse thats good for the inside of a man."
Yep, the Lotus will never win any accolades for being comfortable; it is really just a street legal race car. I've never done any straight line timing events so I don't know its 0-60 or 1/4 mile times, not that it is lightning fast anyways. It is made to handle the curves. I have taken it to the track (road course) a number of times and it is just a riot. I rarely commute in it - it is mostly for the moutains and track days. Needless to say, I don't use it to go shooting, no where to put any guns or ammo

[QUOTE=123.DieselBenz;1328504]Herb,

Thought you might, it's a 2 owner car...........had it since 89, only 105K on the clock, about as close to mint as you'll find. The other one's a little more fun when you punch the throttle!

Here's my baby
My 64 1/2 Mustang. My diamond in the rough.
Old Faithfull, my 95 Z71. This has been the best truck I have owned thus far. 146,000 miles, original motor and trans, when I broke the 10 bolt rear the third time it went in the trash and the truck got the light duty 3/4 ton diff (because it still has 6 lug axles). It has bigger axles, ring/pinion, housing, brakes etc. ten bolts are barely strong enough for the stock 31" tires much less 35's and an agressive posi-traction. It's not the fastest but I don't have to worry about getting where i'm going.
Both of these pics were taken at the same place, the rear tire in the second pic a actually stuffed up in the wheel well far enough that it rubbed the paint off the inside.

Well here's another one for the bike guys. Probably not what most of the crowd here is into but I love it.
2004 Suzuki Hayabusa, turbo charged, intercooled, dyno'd at 470 HP. It truly is the bike I always dreamed of owning.
Here's a precursor of a "Resto" I'm doing on a 1982 CB900F. Guns, Bikes and Chicks, LOL, Not just Texas, does it big...............
holy **** thats fast. Makes the cops feel privileged when you actually pull over, not like you really have to.
My daily driver sitting at elk camp.....gotta love it
Sitting on new 35" Yokohama AT's....it goes anywhere I want it to, I keep thinking I want to put a muffler on it because it wakes the wife up when I fire it up to head to work at 530....I guess you get that with dual exhaust and glass packs though.
