Ok - so this is GS related since my bike was there haha. But move it if need be.
My car ... who knows what's in back? (hint - it says on the side of the car)

So this was the 10th annual Lotus party that a friend of the family hosts. He had 6 Lotuses on display as well as an MGC and the Caterham 7. Two of the Lotuses (Loti? :laugh:) were in the garage since they'd just been brought back from their respective races. He sponsors a pair of race teams - one of which won Summit Point last weekend. The other has been and will again be driven by Paul Newman at Road Atlanta.
All in all a beautiful day. If anyone wants to see the rest of the pictures, let me know and I'll send you the Kodak link.
ohhhh my my my i love the lotis :o :o :o :o always have theres only been two i have seen here in town . one was in orange one and the other was yellow ..... ( i live in texas ) and man i was like mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm :cheers: :cheers:
ah, nice. NICE.
the first is a sunbeam tiger. nice v8 power in a light body.
the second is hard to tell with the bodywork all open like that but my guess is its a Noble.
the 3rd? no idea but the license probably means its "the sexy bol?" would probably make more sense to me if I knew the car.
Correct, and correct. But I too, am a little lost on the 3rd.
There's a guy local to me (Charlotte) that has TWO Lotus sevens (notice I said "Lotus" not Caterham?!?) disassembled in boxes in the 2nd floor of his shop... rotting. He also has 4 Panteras, 2 Tigers, a ton of Lotus's (several Europa's, Elan's, Elite's, etc.), and a bunch of other neat random stuff collecting dust. It's by far, the coolest, and saddest place I've ever seen.

Spot on ... I never did get a picture of the Noble with the hoods down since my camera battery died.
The 3rd is one of 53 ever produced ... and it's a Jaguar. See if you can get it now? I had the track the owner down and ask - almost noone knew what it was.

Dogs! that has to be it. I got the bollocks part but kept reading DGS as DSG . And I know they didn't have DSG when this car was built.
Still a weird plate .. dogs balls?
The Espirit V-8 Turbo is the one that makes my panties wet.

Noble... but someone else already said it. I'm located in McLean... not too far away from Fairfax. Do you know of other GS riders in the area?

There are a couple around - though not sure if they're on here. I actually live in Fairfax but garage the bike in Dunn Loring. We should ride sometime - just need to find the time haha.
