Hi Ian, long time no see mate.

This sounds more like either a Lotus Exige or a TVR T350/Tamora

Yep, and still enjoying it. There's something about TVR's that never fails to entertain me. If you end up with a sports car and fancy going out for the occasional road run then get in touch with me. I go out to enjoy my car with a bunch of friends every month.

Don't you mean the "entertaining handling"

You could be right. It's a car that needs to be controlled, drop your concentration for a moment and it'll bite your head off.

Indeed.

They need skill and experience, as they're a 'proper' driver's car, not a soul-less computer-controlled piece of stamped out metal boringmobile. hehe

120db+ exhaust, and thumbs-up from pedestrians and passing motorists comes as standard. smile

Got a couple of boringmobiles for work, shopping, and taking stuff to the tip.

Oh, and hi Bob ! biggrin
