Great collection!
What do you think about the Lexus? Seriously considering one for my next car - haven't got round to test driving one yet as life is extraordinarily busy at the moment...
Thanks. What do you think about the Lexus? Seriously considering one for my next car - haven't got round to test driving one yet as life is extraordinarily busy at the moment...
I highly recommend it as a daily as long as you only need the back seats occasionally. It is extremely comfortable when you are cruising but switch it to sport plus and manual and it is almost a sports car.
I had it on track a couple of weeks ago and it did feel a little heavy and is certainly biased to understeer but was still a whole lotta fun.
Build quality is typical Lexus brilliance. Don’t worry about all the negative comments about the infotainment system, you will get used to it really quickly and the sound quality from the Mark Levinson system is excellent.
The car sounds ridiculously good especially on down shifts.
It gets a lot of looks as people don’t know what it is and I have yet to pass another one on the road.

Cheers for that - sounds like I need to go and take a closer look. I highly recommend it as a daily as long as you only need the back seats occasionally. It is extremely comfortable when you are cruising but switch it to sport plus and manual and it is almost a sports car.

Excellent stuff. Surprised how small the Lambo looks compared to the Lexus unless a trick perspective. I recently tested the Lexus, but as you say too small in the rear (bit of a pain really as I'm lacking imagination on what else!). What do you use for a weekend away, or is their a Gulfstream IV off picture?
Nice collection! I think the Viper and Lambo are the ones that stand out the most for me, how does driving the viper feel compared to the others? I expect lack of driver aids can make it a real handful? EDIT: Just noticed it is one of the newer vipers so expect it does come with its fair share of electronic wizardry?
Is there going to be any further additions in the future?

Lovely collection. Just missing an Aston Martin.
Congrats.
The idea behind the collection is the “last” great naturally aspirated, manual transmission cars for each major cylinder size with no marque duplicates. I like Aston’s but given V8 and V12, I’d take Ferrari and Lambo every time. Congrats.
I am missing a 4 cylinder but that is going to be a Honda S2000 and there are plenty of them so no rush there.
Cheers.

Gulp.
How do you decide what to drive every day - lob the keys in a fruitbowl?
I just rotate them around unless it is ladies choice. My wife always picks the Ferrari. How do you decide what to drive every day - lob the keys in a fruitbowl?
Also, no Gulf Stream in the wings. The Lambo is probably the most challenging for a long trip away but I spent 4 days in France with it last year and had an absolute blast.
