    WOW, nice car collection there!!!! Whats it like driving the Carrera GT in comparison to the F40? I'd imagine the F40 is a little more raw.. Love the number plates also:D
    could you please post a couple of links to some high res shots! the last one would be a great wallpaper;)

    NIIIIIIIIIIIIICE!

    Maybe I'll have to plan a trip to Kentucky to go for a ride. Or maybe I'll make an F40 road trip. :)

    Congrats!

    P.S. Still working on your chips. :)

    The brown interior is beautiful, and I love how the shift lever is positioned half way up the console. That must be a bit different from shifting in the F40. Enjoy all of the cars in good health, and Congrats!!

    That's just not right to surround a thing of beauty with that German junk...;)

    Congtrats on your purchase though. I still admire the F40, that was a really nice car when Mike had it.

    Are you coming to the Ferrari French Quarter? You should bring that 40, we'll have fun.

    I can answer this one - it's a Lotus Esprit Turbo.

    Agreed. We can always use another F40. :D

    Knew it was a Esprit, but how did you figure out it was a Turbo??

    Congratulations on the CGT. I guess it's only natural that the CGT attracted an F40 owner because the cars supposely have so much in common in terms of providing a pure, raw driving experience.
