Too right! Quite something, JJ, and yes the colour is love or hate. I currently hate, but it's not my car and I betcha in the sunlight after a good polish with some beads of water on it, the thing looks suitably unique and irresistible.
Are you going to drive it anywhere?!

One thing is for sure - its not a car for the Lotus racing green embroidered jacket brigade.
This photo does the business - not sold on the black badge, but its easily changeable - might stick on a yellow one and see how it looks.
And yes, it will be getting used

The colour is marmite, but it is incredible on the road - the pictures dont do it justice.
Its amazing how much easier things were when you have a real S1 Exige to cross reference things to

What you cant see in that video is, when I got to the top of the road to go round the block, the cabin filled with smoke.
I absolutely filled my Y`s, thinking it was about to go up in flames, as it was really fine grey smoke. After a couple of seconds I realised it was all the mega fine dust from the bodyshop coming through the dash / vents

Looking good JJ
So when do you plan to bring the toy down to the borders?
I don't know driving in another way which isn't risky. Each one has to improve himself. Each driver has its limit. My limit is a little bit further than other's.

You could try to be included for "Pimp My Ride" and get a complete interior makeover and a supercharger for the engine
