Just swapped my 111R for this

[hueandcry71]

I know you will all think im barmy and you are probably right but i thought the deal was too good to turn down. The same dealership has also given me £500 more for my Focus than it is worth as well so effectively i have now halfed my mototoring outgoings and ended up with an extra £5k in the coffers.

The 111R will go at the end of next week and my Focus will go in 2 weeks after i have piled more miles on it travelling to London.

I have not included the soft top off the 111R in the deal so if anyone wants to make me an offer on a brand new soft top feel free.

At least it doesn't have the horrible chrome headlight surrounds like the 95!

Nice car for your retirement

[fatwomble]

You are clearly going through some crisis, get some therapy and then go and buy another Lotus.

[leech]

why ? Have you gone mad

[Skyman]

You are in need of serious help. That is just appalling.

[TIPPER]

WTF. A Vectra Convertible after an Elise One extreme to the other. Each to their own. Enjoy

[21TonyK]

Saw it coming...

[riwiho]

How many cars have you had in the last 12 months!

Fair enough and I am sure you have your reasons but will you not miss the Elise like a pain?

I reckon you will buy another one in 6 months

[Furyous]

Sounds like you should have kept the TT !

[LivinLaVidaLotus]

Words fail me...

[drac]

Old saabs yes. They felt special in some way. Still remember my first trip in a saab 99 turbo.

New ones, oh no, vauxhalls in drag! You need to stop smoking that crack pipe.

WTF How old are you ? 65 ? That's just...Wrong

[Tina K]

You *are* of course completely mad.

I have a 111R and a Saab 9-3 2.0t and I love them both... but for very different reasons.

The Saab is a comfortable motorway mile muncher and booze-cruise-mobile. Also handy for the stand-off against the Chelsea Tractor brigade if ever I need to drive into London. Cracking used buy at 50% RV at 2.5 years as well.

However there is no way on God's earth that I would chop in my 111R for one.

[Ikemi]

Its alright ... The men in white coats have been called and are on their way!

I'm sure hueandcry will return to the flock very soon! I give it less than 4 months

[hueandcry71]

Fair enough and I am sure you have your reasons but will you not miss the Elise like a pain?

Only had the 4 new cars in 12 months.Quite possible that i will buy a new one in 6 months but in the meantime i shall enjoy my "pensioners" car.
Do you want a new roof for your car??

To be honest, once it let me down starting a few weeks ago it was the beginning of the end. I know it was only the battery and it is common but for £30k the least you can expect from a car is that it will start.

Having a lardy 'yota after a 111S was always going to be disappointing

Still, I guess it's a healthier way to waste money than a coke habit

[aelord]

That Saab is way over - priced too!
