[Rumple Foreskin]

This club should be for people who own exotics only.

Like the cars themselves the club should be for elites only.

 

[Motorer1]

BS!!! that would be such a limited crowd, this club is about emphasis on dream cars.

 

[Rumple Foreskin]

Then we allready have several of these.

The Ferrari Club, the Porsche Club, the TVR Club . . .

 

[Motorer1]

why not have a exotic club?

 

[Rumple Foreskin]

And a Ferrari and a TVR are what exactly?

 

[Firebird]

Ferrari and TVR are just your average mainstream brand (apparently). I mean, every second house in North America has a Ferrari, right?

 

[Motorer1]

Congrats to the first two members, Gentleman Driver and FC3S.
Gentleman Driver will be representing the Ferrari Enzo, and FC3S has yet to pick his exotic.

 

[Motorer1]

and 360rider is another member, who will be representing the 360 Spider
