+1 I wish I was out driving ... The sun is out and the roads surrounding my workplace are all twisty and fast, with the majority being NSL! However instead I am suffering the constant enslaught of people moaning. I sometimes wonder why I do this job ... Although the answer is there waiting in the carpark at the end of the day!

Same here and its sunny!

Trying to put the women into order of would you/wouldn't you.

Its slim pickings!

I can't even drive my Elise to work cos I have to use the demo car i'm given for my job (Passat Estate TDI!)

Mine's just a weekend ride i'm afraid

[LivinLaVidaLotus]

Just to cheer you up, I've just done 50 miles in mine I'm off back out again in a minute as well.

Bored at work. But planning next pan euro trip! Wonder if the alps are ok in November - Went in April this year, hired a Brera (Rubbish compared to an Elise) ended up with Summer tyres up a 2700meter pass with Snow - Very fun, but that was a hire car with Super Cover!!!!

Love these winter sunny days - trouble is the office feels very boring during the weekdays !

Anyone got a job up for grabs in the alps, ardennes or simlier ?

[Zebede29]

A friend of min works with a chap who recently wrote off his Elise after having a "crap driver" moment - ended up putting it through a brick wall backwards.

Apparently he's vowed never to get another one and has replaced it with a bland Eurobox that's so dull I can't even remember what my mate said it was!

General concensus of opinion between us is that the guy didn't deserve the Elise in the 1st place - the accident was in the dry and he was the only car involved so it seems the car was simply more than his very limited talents could handle

Should have got himself some proper lessons

Sure am buddy. I changed names for a bit whilst i was looking for a new Lotus.
I missed the Lotus too much so i have traded my TTR in for a 111R.
Somehow i have managed to lose only £150 on the price that i paid for the TTR as well, although i recouped this anyway by selling the roof off my Lotus privately when i traded it in for the TTR so all in all i actually gained some dosh. That is a first for me when it comes to buying and selling cars.
2 different dealers offered me almost the same money for my TTR which shows that now is the time to get a new Lotus.
How is your baby going these days?

So good to have you back in the family again mate. I'm thrilled (can you tell?)

And what an excellent colour choice....Arctic Silver....perfect...not that i'm biased of course....hehe!

Glad you didn't lose anything on the TT, i'm pleaseantly surprised - they must have got an excellent underwrite from a London-based Audi dealership who have a customer for it.

You are very very welcome back!

Cheers mate.

They actually told me that the underwriter has underwritten it for £25k but they are that keen to do the deal that they are going to give me £27k. They reckon they are only making a few hundred quid profit from the car.
Not sure how true all that is but i am really pleased.

I was surprised at how good the various offers i had on it were to be honest, i expected and was prepared to accept losing a couple of £k. I would have gone back to CN to change the TT but felt a bit embarrassed about the way i messed them about last time.

Its funny how when i was waiting for the TT i never looked at the pics i had of it, my new Lotus is never off my PC screen.

Also with my old Lotus i used to have one last look at it in the garage before i went to bed, i havent done that once with the TT. I think that pretty much sums up what Lotus is all about.

Saying that though, the TT has been a nice car and is a very good car.However, it isnt a Lotus. My missus is gutted as she realy likes the TT but as she cant drive she only has a minority vote in what i drive. Her main concern about the 111R is the pin that sticks out to catch the door. She kept catching her arm on the one in the 111S. I have told her the bruises will heal quick enough!!!

[LivinLaVidaLotus]

lol, I knew there was something familiar about your posts, couldn't put my finger on it.

That Exige S was still at CN when I picked mine up, didn't look as good in person as it did online in the mag blue.

[Zebede29]

So tell me Huey, what were the (dare say various) reasons for going back to an Elise? Be honest, you're among friends here....

Crumb's they are taking a huge chance there then, mind you they've just got a reduction in cost on 07 car's from Lotus so if anyone's in the market you'll get a bargain on an 07 car
