    a long weekend for sure - we ran the Parkplace Lotus at the Supercar Weekend Friday night and slayed a few Porsches, including my own GT3.
    Sat am we drove up the coast to view a private collection and saw the first MC12 of the day. The Rover blew up on l95 on our way back to Supercar Weekend & we were flat bedded into WPB in the pouring rain - stuck with no tow vehicle to get the Lotus home.... but we did spot a second MC12 so in the end I guess that made it a lucky day.

    morning car first which I doubt many of you have ever seen particulary with a red bird cage in the background followed by the afternoon car - one we all know...
    when I get it together we will update our galleries with some tasty shots and post a link here - until then:

    There was a large group of us that went to the Shuman (sp?) garage tour in June last year (IIRC). Really nice guy, and a great selection / display of cars. The MC-12 is one of the nicest car designs ever in my opinion.

    Nice! I saw two MC12s together in Orlando at the exotic car gallery next to the Millenia Mall last Fall. One was for sale up on Ebay and not sure what happened to it.

    Nice shots Kevin,
    As BT said, we had a tour of John and Kathy Schumann's incredible garages last summer.
    Here is John's driving his MC-12 at Daytona and waiting for another lap at Sebring, and also at Celebration.... Yes, I love that car, and it's fantastic to see it out and being used !!
