Mind, I wouldn't mind owning a Lotus at some point too. I've been highly impressed by Kenny's Exige.
Lotus Dealers have their moments too (though I hasten to add, I've always found pretty decent service, personally...just gotta ensure a decent tech department when selecting one).
As for owning a Lotus, I think you might struggle with the rawness...the 350 is surely a pretty refined and robust car. A Lotus, OTOH, is an absolute blast and the closest thing to "thought-controlled motoring" I think you can get...but you gotta be committed to run one past its warranty period

I know what you mean Campbell. I really like the refinement of the 350z, and its nice to have the toys, heated seats etc. How I'd take to something which is stripped out on a full time basis, I'm not fully sure, but I did really enjoy having a blast of the Exige, although I wish I had been able to heel and toe.... I could feel the car jurting forward on changing gear! I'd need to be a lot smoother.
