16M + S260 = Raw Squared

Call me unrefined, haggard, crazy and insane.
I traded my 430 spider and DBS .... picked up a 16M and an Exige S260 Final Edition.
So now I have one of my dream cars and 3 Loti. Superfluous some may say, but some are more raw-er than others.

Coincidentally, both were delivered today.
6:30 in the morning, Intercity arrives and delivers the S260:

This green monster has a ton of mods and is pushing 300hp with a weight of 2000 lbs. The DBS was a little banal for me as a daily driver, so the 260 will replace it.

Then, I'm on the phone all day with CNC in between surgeries trying to finalize the deal on the 16M. Cam makes the deal happen along with Liz who is absolutely amazing! The CNC crew is top notch. I tell my wife after work that I'm going to pick up the 16M and she is livid since I just got the Lotus in the morn.
Cam delivers the car to my house at 8 pm.
After signing docs in my kitchen, I take the 16M on a short joy ride.
My first words are: "Holy S%!#%$, .... my God!"
It is simply teeth-chattering and mind-blowing.

Never thought I would have gotten 2 cars in one day.

Someone pass me the Grey Poupon

It seems that you are a little crazy but I'm sure you are very very happy!
You have my full admiration, awesom cars!

 

Congrats on the purchase!

 

Congrats! That's E_Man's old 16M right? I saw the pictures and it was stunning, I've seen his old 16M and his Carrera GT at Cars and Coffee (didn't know it was him at the time)!

Also, how many Lotus' (Loti?) do you have now, 3?!

I need to come visit now! I bet your neighbors just think you modded your F430 Spider even more!

 

You partly took my advice and bought a Scud. But you bought both! Congratulations!!

 

Congrats, man. Is this the same 16M we had talked about?

Did you remove the wrap on your 430 before you traded it in?

 

nice! two great driver's cars.

let us know how daily driving an S260 is.

 

Amazing cars. The 16M is my dream car. Enjoy in good health!
PS I hate you!

 

congratulations!

 

Congrats for your purchase. Exige looks great! Enjoy them in good health.

 

Awesome combo! Congrats.
Lots of 16M pics please.

 

wow the 16m is absolutely stunning congrats

 

Can U give feedback on the 16 M vs driving a 458

That 16M is a F#$%^ work of ART

 

Nice cars! congratulations. I still remember you first got your Aston (my 6speedonline name is rpvantage )

 

Big Congrats! Absolutely stunning cars. Now you know why we keep raving about Scud. Defintely one of the most exciting modern car out there.

 

Congrats! Glad u finally got a 16m. It's been a long time coming.

 

Congrats!!!!! It's the car you've always wanted! You're a bad influence....I am itching to change car too....lol

 

You beat me to it!
I hate you too!

 

This was the 16M that was in Seattle, but I believe the owner was in Scottsdale as well?

didn't remove the wrap, but CNC took it in on trade

I use to daily an Elise to work...my commute is only 15 min. These cars are a blast to toss around corners. I really don't mind harnessing up for a short joy ride in the morn before work. Nothing better to get the adrenaline going.

LOLLL

This Sun, will be meeting up with Mark Scud (M2G2), so will be taking lots more pics and vids. I should probably attach a GoPro to it as well.

Haven't driven a 458 for fear of buying it....I know the 16M feels much more raw than a 458.

I finally understand and appreciate this animal of a car...it is almost too fast for the street.
I'll probably take it up to Monterey for Italian Concourso!

Wlll, I'm surprised now how you gave up your Scud....time to get back into one!

I'll post a more detailed review this weekend on the cars with pics and vids.
Still on cloud 9 for now

Congrats on the 16M. I've had mine for almost a year now and it is the most amazing car I've ever owned or driven.

Enjoy!

 

Car looks beautiful, congrats!

 

Wooot, welcome to the wolf pack buddy. Very happy you were able to unload the DBS.

Now get the S-Line Motorsports X-pipe into the 16M =) sh*t is unreal and will blow your mind.

 

Congrats! I strongly considered that 16M and I'm really glad to see it went into good hands. Enjoy it. And a S260 too... good taste! Love the color.

Yes, E_man's previous 16M.

You guys are killing me, ohh the anticipation. My 16M won't be here until next week.

 

Absolutely insane! Congrats on the great pick up. I don't know much about Lotus, but seems to be a great drivers car.

And the 16M, wowzers! Had I known you were selling your 430 as well I would have waited 2 months and picked yours up..

Cheers to active and helpful board member.
