Goodwood Performance Parking car park - some of us slummed it in the public car park  

I walked up into PP East and it was great to see so many Lotus cars there.  Nice pics Bibs.

That's where I was parked with mine 👍, nice bunch of Lotus's there 👌

[Hello from Suffolk]

Thank you 👍. It's funny you should say that because I went to my local Porsche dealer to test drive a Cayman gt4 the same day as I test drove a 410 Sport and the salesman was trying to tell me how bad a lotus would be 🤷🏼‍♂️, little did he know that the massive smile on my face when I walked in was thanks to the epic test drive I had just had in the 410 Sport 🤣. The Exige thrilled me so much there was only one choice, don't get me wrong the Gt4 was a fantastic car in every way but didn't blow my socks off like my Lotus!!!! 👌🤤🎉. Thank you, I will ask if I need anything 👍

[Fitting an exige in a single garage]

My garage is 2.5m wide and I can get in fine, but as others have said lowering the window makes things easier. I can't get that close to the wall either because the garage door is so tight so I think you might be fine. I am 6ft and also still quite bendy and skinny, and you have an extra 18cm 👌😉. I will try and upload a photo so you can see.

I was just browsing TLF and stumbled across this advertisement.

 

That Evora looks familiar I thought. Sure enough it’s the 2009 LE I bought in 2013 and re-registered E9ORA, which is now owned by another TLFer. First owner Al (also on here) originally registered it OO07ALN I think and retained that number for his second Aquamarine NA. It was then put on SN59FYK and owned by a gentleman in the Fenland area, before I bought it from an independent car warehouse operation and re-registered it E9ORA. I probably still have the old number plates in my garage. I wonder where/when that track photo was taken?

This was taken the day I bought it.

I think I know this car and where it lives, I am pretty sure I go past it once a week most weeks. Just nice to recognise a car on here very close to me 👌😁

[Hello from Essex]

Very nice, congratulations. Enjoy

Hi Stu, 

Congrats on the 410. I'm up near Ipswich and have just come back to a Lotus from a 981 GT4. 

See you around the B Roads or @Hangar 111 sometime.

Gary

Hello Gary, Thank you.

 

I will keep a lookout for you on the B roads 😜, which Lotus have you got?

A friend of mine used to work at Hangar111 and it's now a place I will be visiting.

Hi Stu and welcome from Norfolkshire again! My Evora likes to play with its little brother..........well we are all from East Anglia! So please feel free to come up for a spin and a chat. Or we could do what most Lotus owners normally do and just enjoy them blasting around some nice A roads!

Hi Kimbers,

That all sounds great to me!! I am definitely up for meets, chats and blasts as I am very much a learner when it comes to Lotus.

Hello Boi from just over the border in Norwich

They do look epic cars and I hope yours work out very well for you.

[Hello from Suffolk]

Hello all, 

I have recently put a deposit down on a Exige 410 sport in Daytona blue. Having not been searching that long this car just seemed to fall into place. All being well I will be picking my car up in a week or two after some PPF and prep. 

I test drove an Exige 410 and a Cayman GT4, as good as the Porsche was the Exige blew my mind, no car has ever made me feel the way this car did!! 

Looking forward to lots of meets, chats, drives out for no reason and meeting like minded people. 

Stu
