Quite fancied the chrome orange one at Lotus dealer by you, but too much of a trek.

Congrats Dave, I saw the previous owner driving it through my village on his way to drop it off at Silverstone.

I've moved on the 2-11 now and bought Aimee's ardent red Exige demo a few months ago.

PS, good plate too..

That F Type sounded nice.

Why did you get rid after such a short time?

I didn't realise that was yours, I saw you at Silverstone in the X-Bow..

The Exige did pretty well at Santa Pod considering

F type is a stunning car, but at 1600kg a bit too lardy for me. The Exige is 1/2 tonne lighter and more to my style of driving smile

Since removing roof on the Lotus for recent good weather it does beg the question when I will use KTM. Time will tell.
