    I own a 1987 TR, and am awaiting delivery on a 1992 Diablo.

    Am I looking for trouble?

    I think the TR will be fine with the Diablo, now if it was an F40 then it would be a different story.

    I was thinking a 1986 Countach would be a good playmate for my 86 TR, but haven't pulled the trigger on that one yet.

    I have alway thought that an appreciation for exotic cars trancends product lines. I never understood the "us" vs "them" mentality until I joined this forum and got some of the historical background. Seems silly to me though.

    Go for it !

    ps - we need [size=+2]PICS[/size] when you have them together !

    Only if you don't have a live-in mechanic named Luigi.

    A good friend of mine has the same tag team going on in his garage and its great except the fact he lets his dumbass employees drive them both.

    The only thing that sucks about them is they are always both in for service.

    Yes, clutch and engine out service done!

    Color, White on White, with red pipeing.

    I am getting my garage re-done to be worthy of holding these two fine machines, then I will post pics.

    Great combo!

    The only thing I will say is, they are Italian and tempremental. Any time we have introduced a new Italian car into the garage, the senior one has immediatly started acting up. Fortunatly, this dosen't tend to last long and they become friends. ;)

    You should throw more respect towards lotus, it is likely faster on a track those both your other cars. that you call "machines"
