Nope.....
Replacement is some time away......
Most likely next year.......
Am relegated to the pushbike and a diesel BMW for now....
Will be along for the SIDC day to torture myself and ride Pax so I can decide what to get next.....and there will be a next Lotus, it is just going to take time.....Have to go caravanning first.....

Not you as well Martin.. has the Scottish Elise demographics hit caravaning territory
If so we ought to be all driving down to Knockhill the night before, pitching up and having a pre Knockhill party.

I obviously did something wrong in a previous life.
Kinger gets 2 Loti and a caravan the size of a small hoose....
I get no Loti, a miniature caravan and have to sell the Audi cause it won't take a tow bar...and I get to pay the deposit on both my kids flats for no ROI....
Mind you I do not have to drive a Volvo while towing the aforesaid van......
Just have to save the pennies for the next plastic car.

Martin, you could buy Kingers Cup220 after the Frolic and Kinger can then order a lovely Exige 380

Weather
Large high pressure is going to dominate the region come the weekend. Depending where it centres, winds will be very light (even at KH) most likely from the west. It will start cold, maybe even a touch of frost, but this will be long gone come 0900. Low teens by lunch time, feeling even better in the sun. Should be a repeat of the weather at this day last year. So tyre temp of 55+ should be easily possible for those who try hard enough......pity I do not have a car right now.
