That aero 8 and the one next to it are beautiful.

The only problem is how the hell do you get in an out of them if you are NOT a dwarf!?

This wasn't the Festival of speed or the Revival, they are massive 3-day events, this was just a one-off day.
They also have Breakfast club meets once a month whcih are huge, but none of these have 'sculptures'

The same way I can somehow squeeze inand out of the Elise GT1 - it is a regular Elise S1 Chassis so it is high to get in, then it has a roll cage and fixed roof that are lower than the road car, plus it has a foot of bodywork to get get over once you've escaped the small doorway, with half your body still inside the car trying to get out!!

After getting in and out of the GT1, the Exige GT3's and our Exige Cup240 with the roll cage... NEVER again will I say a car is difficult to get in or out of

Wouldn't have had it any other way though... it what fun real sports cars are all about... a little less practicalty

You are one lucky guy.

I have only seen a few of the cars you have. I have seen Chevrolet Corvette C5, Ford Mustang gt (55 plate with 3d Carbon Full Bodykit inc spoiler) & a audi r8 (well 2) both on holiday this year, a black one on the move & a silver demo model

Great photos aswell.

But a couple for the moment, the day I went to pick it up
