You are quite a closet raconteur Steve, really good read and your enthusiasm shines through.

Must also be one of the longest posts we have had, would take a lot of putting together.

Great write up, enjoy the new car :thumbsup

My only regret in buying my new car was that it was already at MMC so too late to do a factory pick up. (next time :lol: )

Our recent pickup from Murray was made special in its own way. I guess one can hardly ask for factory collection of a used car :-). Brandon looked after us in true Lotus Family fashion.

I'm not sure if a factory collection is a dream for us or not. Shh but I think I'd be targeting Stuttgart for that. In a galaxy far, far away...

Steve - are you still looking for a bag to hold the hardtop in? - sorry mate - I completely forgot about it. I still have mine sitting in the loft if you need one.

Fantastic write up - glorious car in the absolute best colour. I guess it was my Exige which you saw at MMC and then my Evora S in yellow that helped you finally make the best colour choice in history?

Great stuff - looking forward to seeing it in the flesh, although it will probably trawl up some old memories for me. Are you going to take it to Speedfest then?? :popcorn

Never ever wanted a brand new car as much as I do just now, brilliant memories for you guys and hopefully the start of lots of new adventures.

Car looks amazing. Well done. Only ever seen a white one of these but the yellow looks brilliant.

Steve is still smiling :D

Must admit I love it too. As for the colour choice- when I said "any colour except yellow or green!"
I knew what colour Steve would finally choose :wink:
