Rehaan:
- Howcome all the cars are "new" cars - i.e produced in only the last decade or so - and you dont have anything older like - a F40, XJ220, diablo etc?

~For your information im only 19 so i've only been driving for 2 years. Im sure somewhere down the line i will go back in time and look into some of the cars that shaped the supercar industry. But not just yet. Im still enjoying the newer cars. Sorry. Having said that my dad does have a collection of older cars, but those are strictly off limits. I can find out more details about what cars they are if you would like though?

- Also i found it strange that its such a large collection, however there are no true "exotics" (no offence). By that i mean - the paganis, F50, veyron, mclaren F1 -- the absolute cream of the crop that would be the true gem in your family's collection so to speak.

~Honestly i don't know what the definition of a "true exotic" is but im my opinion that list changes from person to person. I consider the Mercedes SLR as much a "true exotic" as you might consider another car. As far as Paganis are concerned if you read TJ's post about RACE you would realize that is says a Pagani is coming soon. Initially it was to be ordered from Pagani however because that didn't work we are importing one from Dubai/Abu Dhabi. As soon as it arrives i'll post the pictures. As far as they Veyron is concerned my dad has test driven it and he says im just not ready for a car like that. He wants me to gain atleast one more year of experience before i even think about it.

The car i am most interested in however is one that you might have forgotten to mention? Assuming you are the same friend tj talks about here > http://www.team-bhp.com/forum/intern...xperience.html (RACE - Reem Auto Club Experience)

The carerra GT.
What do you think of that one?
I appreciate the pictures, but these days it is not hard to find pictures of supercars online. What IS of higher value though are the words and experiences of people like you who are fortunate enough to own and compare them, so please share those as much as possible!

~I haven't gotten to the Carrera GT as yet. But when i do i promise you i will write the experiences i've had with it. I would love to be able to write down my experiences with all my cars but quite frankly i just do not have enough time, between studying/work and family duties. Sorry.
