Been Lotus-less for over 8 years now, and watching prices rise quite rapidly of late doesn't fill me with confidence that I'll be back in one soon... :(

(Being in full on 'saving mode' for a house doesn't help, and when we do find something, I can imagine there'll be plenty of more pressing requirements for any spare funds).

I did spot a 2005 111R for sale in Ireland, at the equivalent of £11250 ish, which was a major temptation (already had the wider Team Dynamics wheels / 'R888' tyres, and Nitrons fitted!), but thankfully someone bought it the other week, after it being on the market for 2 months...(!)

Sounds like a lot of car for the money Ross!

Yes - Especially given the exchange rate was €1.42 / £ when he posted the ad...(!)
