Hope you're enjoying it today! Nice to see another person ditching a BMW 330ci for an Elise. It was very memorable taking the keys to my 111S off the salesman in the car park of the Lotus dealer with my BMW parked up in the background sulking smile

well, I got more sleep than i thought I would!

Just have to pretend to do some work for a couple of hours till Lotus time!

I'm quite sad about letting the bm go, its such a capable car, but am SO looking forward to the lightness, handling and a screeming engine behind me!

sigh. hurry up Lotus time.

For me it was either push the BM off a cliff or trade it in for something else winkhehe Easily the worst car I've ever driven (the second worst was the beaten up falling apart 106 I had on holiday in Gozo this year).

Do show us some pics when you get the Lotus? smile Do you have to do that awful thing of picking it up at lunch time and then not being able to drive it again until home time? I did that once and couldn't concentrate on my work!

I'm so envious, first few hundred miles in a Lotus for the first time is an experience I'll never forget

Well picked it up & then drove the 30 or so miles to work.

a roads, m way, town.

A roads were fab, was getting used to it when a bit of spaced opend up. So floored it in 2nd WHAT a sound,. will be getting used to that. Was enjoying the noise when the light on the dash came on, so had to go into 3rd!

m way was fine, enjoyed the nippyness. Felt REALLY tiny when a Q7 overtook me!

town was cr@p as wanted space to enjoy myself

thanks for doing the plates. Front one looks like its in the ideal spot - was worried i'd scrpae it in the work c/park, but all is good!

now cant wait for work to finish so i can go home!

ahhhhhh.roll on 5ish.

Pics will be on their way.
