The usual gathering of exotic cars at Santana Row this morning was greeted with fantastic weather, your typical California winter day – sunny, cool air (50′s). A nice gathering of Elises and Exiges later went for a drive. You can view pictures from the event in the Gallery.

I redid the Gallery section of my Elise, wiping out what was there and uploading the best pictures I’ve taken to date (75 of them!). You can check it out in the gallery here.

There are some nice wallpaper-sized images of the 2007 Lotus Sport Exige Cup over at seriouswheels.com. 1280×960 or 1920×1440 resolution, worth downloading! (via EliseTalk)

Someone at Audiworld posted a lot of really good, high resolution F1 pictures from this season, many of which would make great desktop photos. They’re free to download and can be found at the link above. (via EliseTalk)
