Time for a change again

The GF wants to sell the S2000

So I feel that this time its a Lotus S1 111S for me and a Yaris or similar for her.

'04 S2000 in moonrock then for sale
Anyone with a nice 99 111S that isnt inside the M25?

[Tonto]

Defo want an Elise Rich? Those Rover engines are less reliable than a S6!
What about a VX220, or even a Tamora, (you know it makes sense).
There may be a Lazer blue one for sale soon, if Mr Berg doesn't get his finger out and sell his Chim so he can buy my Tam!

[gemini]

Your car is a very nice example of a Tamora
If I had the cash and the funds to sevice it then I would be knocking down your door.

If you wait for Burgy boy you may be waiting for some time - have you seen his bathroom!!

Get it advertised and buy that Aston

As for Lotus - what else gives you the bang for the buck? 8-9K?

Chris is selling his Z3 M for not a lot of money if you are interested. Just a thought.

By bang, do you mean when the head gasket goes?

[burriana]

Got to say, that's pretty impressive going Tony ... what was it, Chimaera, to Tamora, to AMV8 in about 3 or 4 years!

Enjoy, most owners seem to

with a decent exhaust it may sound good too!

Very good! So it'll still be louder than mine.

I'd just be wary of the k-series engine thats all, try and opt for the Toyota engined one if you can.

Thanks Rich.
Took it into JCT600 to have some warranty work carried out this week. Bloody hell, the Ferrari/Lotus/Aston/Maserati show rooms are a bit flash! You get real coffee and posh biscuits..... for FREE!
I was given a new 5 series as a loan car, (black with blacked out windows. My neighbours now think I'm the local drug lord!). I did try to wangle the 599 Fiorano they had out front as a loaner, but they declined me!
Oh and one more thing, the quality of the receptionists OMG

Sorry, hopefully I'm wrong. Although a work collegue has an MG and has had the Land Rover gaskets put on his which are apparently a lot better? So maybe if you get one its the first port of call to stop the problem happening.

I'm just very skeptical about them though. Being a metallurgist and knowing how that engine is put together... Doesn't seem like they thought it through.
