:shock: Yeh OK I am awake now :cry:


LOL I was just about to add you to "my friends" list :(
Don't worry, i'd add you anyway... :D

Problem with Lambos is: they look all techy when they come out, but in some yrs time, they end up looking like toys.

The Gallardo and Murcielago are really nice though.. I'd say my favourites.

By the way Bud: Murcielago = Bat
You are not far off......

So, today I had my first ever close look at an Elise in real life. And man, is this a tiny car! :shock:
It is truly like a toy car. Not much room in there either. You get hit by one of these monster SUV's (Hummer, etc.) that are abundant here and you're dead, tot, morto! :shock:
I think I'd have to pass and go for something a little bit more substantive...

Lucky we don't have many Hummers in the UK ;) In fact, your "small" cars tend to be our "large" cars :D It is a tiny car though and you have to be super aware of everyone around you as half the people on the roads don't notice you're there. You'd also be surprised how well they stand up in big crashes...but I have to agree. If I was in the US, I don't think I would drive a Lotus

I really wanted an orange or a green Lotus just because they look fab but ended up with Storm which I'm really happy with :)

That is awesome my friend what a great career taking care of our inviroment :wink: . I actually spent the last few day's on a friend's ranch relocating catfish from a pond back into a river system that run's through the ranch. Catfish are a very voracious species that will fully take over a pond from eating all the 'sportfish' species. I also clean the pond and it's surrounding area of all trash and potential pollutant's as best as possible.

Anyway you and I have alot in common concerning protecting our inviroment's, cheer's!

Ok back O/T sorry SF.

So...a very sad morning this morning - I waved goodbye to my Lotus :( I always said she was a 'keeper' and I'd never sell her but then I found something very special indeed and I don't have enough space for them both so the little Exige had to go :cry:

As seems to be the way with most of them at the moment, she's heading to the continent - Belgium to be precise.

Although I am really sad, I am also exceedingly excited about my new car and have my fingers and toes crossed that my purchase goes through OK and I can pick it up soon (particularly as my garage is looking very lonely at the moment!)
