Been having some bad withdrawal symptoms over the last month or so. To the point that as long as the one I am looking at is not a dog I will buy it
It will be good to be back within the Loti fold

Spoke to the guy and it all sounds good.
It will be a bit of project car for next winter but going to do some TDs in it this year.

Very good - working with some mates so cant be bad! Currently have a 180mile a day (round trip) commute so I see a BMW 330cD in my future as I am spending £30 a day on fuel in the Zed !
In one week I have convinced one of my colleages to buy a Lotus too
(I have not forgotten about the missing Manual will be up at the weekend doing some floor sanding so will keep my eyes peeled - hope to be moved in soon and it will turn up then for sure!)

Glad your new job is working out for you.
Thats a lot of fuel. Definately need a diesel for that. I used to get 60mpg out of my A4.
No problem with the manual anytime will do. Its great for watching films, sport and live DVDs.

Get in there mate!
My Elise is gone and I'm gutted to be track car-less till the Atom arrives. (come-on Ariel!)
Sounds like you need a diesel badly - the Golf GTTDI's routinely manage about 50 mpg, the lowest I manged in my Mum's was 36 mpg and that was beasting it.
P>S. Massive thanks to Ed for letting me drive his new steed. Unfortunately going form that back in to the E-class has made my pining worse!)

330cd though - awesome BM - would love to try the new 335d, beat that is even better!
Had a look at that S1 and it looks good too!
Nice one!
