It doesn't seem that long ago you spent out to upgrade your current lotus. How many miles have you done since the last upgrades ?

I don't know a great deal re the current lotus line up as I consider it irrelevant to me. However of the cars pictured the white looks most appealing.

I suspect the LF1 may be more in demand later due to tweaks and limited numbers albeit I think the looks are far from understated and some might go far as to suggest tacky (or to coin a term I have not seen used in a while - "ricey").

I thought there was a new Elise planned for 2015 with a far more cutting edge design - personally I would wait and see what that is like but I know you like the exige models.

Most would be more than happy with what you have on your drive already. If I was in your position & had access to your fleet with surplus funds to spend I might look at 2 wheel fun or even non motoring outlets for spare cash.

I just can't work him out.

Because his 'fame' has come from being stupid does he actually now play on it.

Yes that is the blue albeit on an Elise.

Bloody hell when did get we married or have you been speaking my mrs!??

Yes suspension upgrade last year but given the cars use it probably needed it anyway

Car has done 26k in total, probably 4k last year

I agree on the LF1 it is probably just a bit too tacky comparing it to the F1 car

The new 5/6 new model line up that Danny Bahr came up with has obviously been shelved for now.

This model Exige is just two year old now so it should be fine for another couple of years. Old ones like mine are still holding strong money as you can see although this starts £20k up to fall back down again. 

I'm not allowed two wheels by the Mrs

Re surplus cash I've tried hard drugs and prostitutes but I just don't get the same kicks as driving down past a school at 90mph

Not a hope in hell of getting an auto although there is one due next year.

If wanting a vehicle in which to use your hardness drugs, hang around schools & associate with tax avoiding female clients then I suggest you drive something far more bland looking........

..........Oh I forgot you still have the Audi  ;)

Cheshire white or man up and find the other 2.5k. You've probably that much in your change pot by the side of your cufflinks box?

White.

I think the F1 colours are stunning though think it'd be even better without the red bits.
