Less than a month. Who had 4 weeks or less. You win the bet.

if i'm going to be in position to buy another lotus, it will be in the spring...

I'd go for a 111R now, good value at around 17.5k for a 53 or 04

I think getting a slower car than the one he's just sold isn't going to do the trick Stu? wink

The idea of a Honda S2 doesn't repel me... but there is a big difference between 'coming out' (ie. buying a S2) and wearing a pink ballerina's outfit (ie. buying a pale blue S2).

...now if it was Krypton Green... we might be talking.

I've just spotted that Bernard is selling his 280hp Audi S1 Elise on seloc... now THAT is a serious car.

Bernard definitely underpriced that car. I sold mine first time round for 17k in about an hour!

You could look to get into my Europa for not too much. I need to see the car gone soon.

or if it fitted with my sub £14k proposed budget.

tbh... i can get a nice 'tweaked' early S2 for about £12k, so why pay more?
