Grinning all weekend

Fantastic fun,

First weekend of ownership, blue skys, dry roads, just fantastic.

Comments from my various passengers:

The wife: 'I can see why you wanted one now'
My Mate: 'As close as it gets to my Ducati on four wheels'
The wifes mate: (inaudable due to engine noise and squeals of delight from the passenger seat ... nothing to do with me of course!)

Congratulations! First Lotus?

It completly changes your point of view of what a car is and what it should be.

I remember taking a friends daughter out for a ride in the lotus. She is the usual chatty teenager. The first time I whipped round a corner she shut up for 10 mins!

I drove the Pajero up to heathrow on saturday. When I got hoe the first thing I decided I had to do was get a pint of milk. My wife know what that means! It only took an hour.

Well done, sir - top work!

Yup it's amazing the smile it puts on people's faces!

The other day I was driving past a school and a mate of mine's daughter (16) was walking out the gates. I pulled over and asked her if she wanted a lift (I know her quite well) to which put a huge smile on her face, all her mates being well jealous, and then next time I saw her she said all her mates the following day were saying how lucky she was and if they could get them a go in the car

Ah, I love my Lotus

gooby, yep -- first lotus (although I've been dreaming for ages!)

I think my missus is going to have to get used to me nipping out .... I left at 4pm on Saturday to 'nip' to the car audio shop about 2 miles away ... returned at five to six with a bottle of wine and a bag of chips!

Yeh Gooby - I'll bet she was quiet for at least 10min - I have seen you go around corners - she was probably struck mute with sheer terror.

I bought mine for exactly that reason - can't get the smile off my face even 18 months later.
