Once again, magnificient car stable you got there. The m5 is awesome as well know on this board but the color on that 360 spider is just stuningly beautiful! And the Z8 well, it just is art itself!

Congratulations!

Welcome to the board, z8tako!!

Very nice cars you have...What is the name of the colour of the 360 Spider?? I haven´t seen it before.

z8tako: sweet cars; great choices to have to make each day. That California Blue color on the 360 is very nice.

Quick question: Was either the Z8 or the 360 originally a non-U.S. specification car? I believe that the first model year for U.S.-spec Z8's was '01, but might be incorrect on that. Regardless, the cars are very, very sweet.

Gustav, look at the post immediately above yours. You're setting a bad example for us board members, with you not reading other people's posts carefully enough.

Beautiful collection of cars you've got there, Tako. I just hope that you've got room in that 2 car garage of yours for all those cars! One probably has to sit outside I assume.

I can see a DINAN M5 in the garage back there. Is that Lemans blue?

The names of the colours of the cars were allready in his 1st post:

Hey Train,

Both 360 and Z8 are US cars.
My Z8 is 2000, #083 One of the old Z8 brothers, hehe.

Gorgeous!!!!! And welcome to the board.

I kjnow they are very different cars but I'd love to get your impressions of the differences and similarities between the two - what do you like best/least about each? (I did this once for the 996TT vs. M5 - if you're interested take a look at http://www.heumann.com/comparo/

I'd like to get the M5, Z8, the 360 and the 996TT together for a photo shoot some time....

Z8 Tako,

You're in Mountain View, would love to have you join one of our semi-regular South Bay lunches one of these days.

Great cars. Unfortunately, on my computer, the pictures are tiny red xs. How do you guys see the pics?
