Stuning car mate. I remember chatting to one of the engineers on the project, Jonothan Soddy at the autosport show about the Cup, they wanted to make a machine that could take on the race cars in Lotus cup straight out the box

Lovely car Danny and a great upgrade, you will surely notice the difference with twice the power.

Its a long way from when I first met you in Old Deer in short trousers and took you out for a spin in N1.

Very true Tut,

Noticing a huge difference with the power and the car seems a lot more refined compared to the K. Just need some dry roads to get a few miles in.

Yeah, between your N1 and Craig's S1 it certainly had me hooked from a young age. Hard to believe that was 16 years ago now but can still remember it like it was yesterday.

Hopefully catch up with you soon at the Fennel.

Danny

Here was me starting out as an innocent young thing at Wallace and ending up with the same Lotus addiction. I think it was Craigs orange S2 that did it for me. The howl of that supercharger in your ear was an addictive one as well as how good it looked when the sun was out!

Never got a run in the Exige but had a few blasts in the S1. Can remember still, Craig trying to demonstrate how light these cars were when he picked it up from the wheel at the front corner. Tried to do the same and ended spinning the wheel and jamming my finger between the wheel and caliper lol. Had just finished helping Craig replace a bearing if I remember.
