No 44 turned out to be no 37 but what an amazing day. Glad I had the day off - spent about 40 mins outside the motor all day. Can reccomend collection from Lotus and Ohlins highly. The car is everything I imagined - give it a 2 weeks to be sure then bye bye SAAB.

Collected # 38 from Archie Moss in Coalville yesterday. Cheers to Simon and Darren for a speedy 10-day delivery time and free Supagard inside and out thumbsup . What a motor! I haven't had this much fun in a car since my daughter was conceived ;). This must be the fastest road legal go-kart around and handles like its on rails :D. All respect to GM and Lotus for investing in the development of such superb no nonesense cars and long may they continue to do so Imnotworthy. Soon be sun up and time to scrap the flies off the windscreen from yesterday's exploits before setting off for round 2 :P. Excellent!
