How do you find LHD Gav?
I drove N3 for seven years and never really noticed a drawback.

On track no different, better even as most tracks are clockwise and have more righthand corners, being over on the left of the car youre able to see more through them earlier. Also on track days you have the faster cars coming down your good side not the blind side. On the road certain junctions you have to pull up to at funny angles and driving motorways and dual carrige ways you have to be extra sure you dont have someone down the blindside as you pull out into the faster lanes but its not a deal breaker for me.

So to be clear....you now have 2 GTE's?

That's just greedy ;)

Yes, the silver GTE is one of the twenty lotus reworked for road use and the red one i reworked for track use. I had no idea or intention of getting the red one, just happened to spot it when I was down there looking at my silver one being built and asked what was to become of it? They were on with pulling all the other GTE'S apart that didn't get used for the twenty road cars and over the next couple of days it was to be pulled apart for the panels and the chassis and running gear were to be scrapped off same as the others. Had I not stepped in when I did that car would not exist now. I don't look at is as being greedy at all, I look at it as being the right thing to do, it would have been a travesty to lose it like that..!
