She`s going to a new home up north, (leicestershire). We will be buying a new toy very soon, possibly Honda Powered! Sadly not a Honda Elise! But we aim to be back in the Lotus Clan by the end of the summer in something a bit more powerful than the 135. Its been fun, and lets be honest, I only managed to stay lotusless for 6 months last time so I`ll see if we can beat that this time. I definately want a new one in time for Stelvio in Sept so thats something to aim for.

With all this in mind, we probably wont be attending on sunday, I will still be in mourning! We`ll see you all soon in our new toy!

You really must try and resist the urge to sell the new one after a short time.

Ahh, don't cry... It'll be OK - just think you will be able to rag the new car around without worrying about HGF...(hope not anyway!)
So what's this Honda beast you be getting? TypeR, S2000, Accord, Jazz....? biglaugh

Hope to see your head poking out of the top of another lotus sometime soon. Get it sorted for those glorious summer runs! driving

Sorry to hear fella, but we all know even driving a Honda Jazz you'd be the fastest burger run boy!

weeping End of an era mate, very sad to see it go - who's car am I supposed to aim for the back of with all four wheels locked up now???

On the plus side welcome to Honda ownership, its a revalation, they start, drive and even get you to where you want to go, it takes all the fun and anticipation out of driving!!!

Ive fancied a play in an s2000 for years - can you fit in it tho big boy?!

Just make sure you two don't stay away from runs and get yourselves back in a Lotus soon - perhaps a white Exige? smokin

Dont get an S2000. After a month of driving one as a rental whilst my was in for repairs, I can honestly say it was a bitter disappointment and something I would not ever consider owning

A colleague of mine's got one and he loves it but to be honest he's not exactly a "keen" driver.. more a lazy one.

Mine went today as well. Very sad to see it go but it was the right decision. Have to find another car to replace it with and my heart's really not in it.
