.... is worth the same as 2 wheels of the car next but one, but doesn't look too out of place in a line of cars worth 13 times more and 86 times more! Yep, thats right, for the price of a Bugatti Veyron Pur-Sang, you could buy over 80 Lotus Exiges!



Now I've driven a Bugatti Veyron and it was very nice and bloody fast [video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SEr3Vh5Lo4I ]. The engineering in them is also unbelievable, harnessing 1001bhp into a useable everyday car that handles so well and is pretty easy to drive. However, I just its not quite worth 80 times more than my amazing Exige!

Yeah, I've noticed the attention it gets is every bit as much as when I've driven various supercars. Though with some other cars the attention can be negative in some cases, but not with the Exige.

To be fair I think he'd parked at an angle with some other cars which then all moved, so its probably myself and the 2 Lambos that were parked wrong!

How did you manage to make a connection to me?

I've not seen Tom in years!

I remember weird things. I remembered he told me once about a friend who had a yellow 355, and presumed there can't be that many of you! wink
If that's all you had to go on then that's impressive!
