Lotus in very good company

[jez o]

Check out one very lucky person's garage! Nice to see our relatively inexpensive British motors can rub wheelarches with the best of them!!

Don your bibs before looking as drool is guaranteed!

I was eating some chocolate as the piccies opened. Now I've gone and drooled it all over my puta'. Porkers, Fezzas and Lotus..... Mmmmmm.
Wonder what they use to polish them - I could do with some of it!

Nice taste though - seems he has an S1 Sport 160, an S1 111S, 2 Exige, a 340R, 2 S2's (presumably Fed 111R's) amongst all the other stuff. Noticed an RS2000 in there too in the background next to the R5's

OMG.

Please tell me he actually drives them and that they don't just sit there.

WOW

Yes I do

What a tragic waste. Those cars obviously just sit there, never driven, never enjoyed. He may as well sell the engines on ebay. I don't understand these 'private collections'....

Going by the comments made on that forum, its one of the co-founders of Google, something Paige, or Paige something.

Other comments state that they are driven, regularly, the Ford GT being his daughters, who is still in High School.

I guess regular is a relative term, even if he rotated through each car daily thats stil only once ever 60days or so, unless others drive them too, which I guess people must, including his daughter.

All credit to the bloke, owns some extremely rare cars, as well as some just down right nice ones, and actually uses them for what they were designed for.

How can you tell that?

Seems simple to me, he has loads of money, he's into cars, he buys all the ones he likes! Fair play to the bloke.

The fact he's willing to let a load of other car enthusiasts come round his house and check out his motors suggests to me he can't be too bad.

Note to self: must invent something clever one of these days!
