hello everybody!
i'm a new owner so i thought i join this forum and pop in to say hi.
i have had my Lotus s2 exige for about 3-4 weeks now and smiling everytime i get in it! never driven anything like it before
the bad thing is, i had a little accident already
i was parked infront of a wall with the car in first gear. i turned the ignition forgetting it was in first and...bang
Hopefully it should be repaired this week.
some off you may have heard about this already as i recognise some peoples names from other forums.
Thanks
Simon

Welcome!
I have had my S1 for a year and I'm still grinning like a fool!

Hullo matey!!
bit of a bugger that accident , never nice when the only one to blame is sat in front of the wheel
Still, hurt pride only, so sod it
Look on the bright side, if its still driveable and roadworthy, keep the cracked nose on and get on track
You'll care far less if the car needs a new nose anyway

A layer of carnuba wax would have protected it and dented the wall

Been there, done that, got the T-shirt.
Still you only make that mistake once.
