Steady on lover, next you'll be saying you like M3's

Back to the car, looks spot on in white, but seems a bit under powered in today's market.

At 1350kg's, it's no light weight and will probably weigh more. I

I do like M3s, especially E46 versions. If I had to get a 4 seater then that's probably what I'd have, if I could afford it.

I like E46s, but the two are incomparable. It's 1350Kg(!) and it drives like a Lotus.

Token rear seats for dogs/sprogs. Toolbox, probably. Actually very useful for us old gits.

At last, a modern car that deserves that description.

Forking out that kind of money for what's basically a plastic kit car. Cold day in hell indeed.

Well, exactly. It's lighter than an NSX, which is quite an achievement.

And the engine's in the right place, too.

And it's pretty and I love the Demon Tweeks switches.

And I used to live in Cheshunt, so I've always hankered after a Lotus.

You are the Porsche man Nick was referring to earlier

I think you have to try one, but I do agree that the prices are a little on the high side.
