Re: Lotus Esprit

I sold the Exige a while back. It was a bit unusual with the wings and I wasn't a big fan but it was a cheap Exige! You wouldn't pick one up for that now!

hopefully I'll get back to KH this year.

Re: Lotus Esprit

I've always been a huge fan of the Esprit, but I think I'd be too nervous of an owner to ever take the plunge! (plus I love my elise). But you are right Mark, the customisation aspect is entirely subjective, and I always feel it's better to satisfy your own tastes before anyone else. I actually sta...

Re: Fuel Economy for V6 Exige (and Evora NA and S, and Elise

My 's' did 14mpg. I only drove it to drive it if you know what I mean, but it really was a game changer. I was getting through £70 of fuel taking it to work over 2 days (Montrose to Dyce) But even set with cruise at 70mph on a steady run I couldn't get into the low 20's. That was why I originally as...

BMW 530d Luxury saloon (254BHP) '64 - Owner Moving Abroad

My Neighbour is moving to Dubai and is looking to sell his 530d. It looks like it could be a cracking deal for someone. He is looking for £25.5k which seams to be about 3k below the cheapest on Autotrader. The car is normally in Montrose are but is currently at Aberdeen Airport while he is setting t...

Re: Top Gear - New/Last Series

I think thats a great line up and they are all great individuals. But it all depends on their joint chemistry.

Chris Harris is a fantastic journalist imho. That said, I do suspect that he would be too dry and dull for mainstream TV.

Re: Fuel Economy for V6 Exige (and Evora NA and S, and Elise

My other biggest complaint about the 2011 'S' one I had, apart from fuel, was that I just couldn't get the cabin warm in winter. Thinking back, it was always after running and it always felt like a cold draft on my legs! Its not like I am lotusless just now. But, because of the downturn , her indoor...

Anthony, is the 2014 car noticeably better than the 2011 one? Both economy and in general?

I like your thinking Tut. As an employee of the oil industry it is my duty to burn as much fuel as possible. ;)

Re: Fuel Economy for V6 Exige (and Evora NA and S, and Elise

:lol: :

What I am actually trying to work out is that since I work at home, and do very few miles (around 4 or 5k) could I have one Lotus as a daily driver. In the past they have always been a second car. At 14mpg It would have to remain a second car!
