The top one was 3 days ago, the second one was from Spa in August this year. You saying i'm a fat bastard? I've actually lost weight since Spa too (well same weight but lots of weight training)

Glad you enjoyed the ride! It was much better with the new pads on, which I think is why I span - one front was on the metal and the other had some left

This is exactly how an Exige is meant to be used.

Is that a good price for an Exige?

It's priced very well for a Lotus main dealer I think.

Plus I know that while the car has been driven as intended, it's been very well looked after. It also still has the Gotham ECU installed

Not completely sure mate! Got a bit of time to sit back and see. Not that much appeals to me atm, and depends if I decide that track car renting is the way forward.

I suspect the Evo will be next though! Mate of mine is after it potentially.

But depends what mood i'm in when I wake up - I swear I have a problem

Might be an S though... With somehting extra exciting later.

An R34 is on the hit list Lucky I just can't get my head around paying £25 plus for a 10 year old car

I really liked this one (local) but it's got skyrocket miles...

A turbo sleeper S would be good

I know there old but with out a doubt the fastest A to B road car ive been in was a fettled R34 with maybe the exception of my mates R35.

The Ztune kitted one is nice, but as you say getting near rebuild time.
