Dat's the car!

In answer to the obvious question:
I'm selling because I'm getting one of these: http://carreviewsonline.auto123.com/en/info/roadtest/view.spy?make=Lotus&artid=37387



I bought the CanAm as primarily my track car and whilst it is no slouch, I don't rate the handling too highly when compared to the Exige and my old 340R to be honest.

It's not that it isn't fun, but that it really needs to run slicks (even then it wouldn't keep up with this Exige on it's standard tyres) and the factory do not recommend slicks without RJ suspension, which mine doesn't have.

Shame because I genuinely love the cars!



I reckon I'll be back one day!

Well....yeah....but I really am pretty upset to have to get rid of the beast...you still going to come to a track day or two this year? (I promise I'll still hold your hand )

I don't think you will have a problem selling as it's such a drop dead gorgeous colour

Not sure about a track day yet.
It would have to be an idiot proof circuit. I hear Bedford is accommodating in that department, although not sure mine would pass noise levels.

Also, can't afford to break anything on it just yet!
