I wouldn't call it a downgrade - it has a F430 engine afterall. If I were going to downgrade, i'd be buying an S1

I just need more seats so the maser seems to fit the bill

The car is now sold. Managed to get full asking price from a nice chap from france. It took 100 emails but was very smooth transaction (apart from the worry of walking through leeds with £20k in a backpack!)

Really enjoyed being a club member so thanks to everyone involved.

Maser 4200 next...

Thanks mate - i'll be sad to see it go, but I've got to be realistic - pretty soon the wife won't be able to get in and out of it, and when the baby arrives there is zero chance of us going out in it together, so I just need more seats.

Spotted you in two different parking spaces last night in Sainsburys carpark. I would have said hi, but you were on the phone. Mine was parked away from everyone else at the bottom of the carpark so you probably didn't spot me.

That was me again, probably coming home from work

:wavey

I brought the car into work today just for the tunnel action! It's pretty easy to get 2nd cam through the tunnel, just gradually slow down and then boot it in 2nd gear (I'm sure the people behind don't mind too much ;) )

I got a Larini Sport fitted at the weekend (at pure-lotus.co.uk), so ...

Personally I wouldn't worry about a few stone chips - I'd say it's impossible to drive an elise / exige without picking any up on the road.

Ahh yes, you're clearly delusional - I heard too much sugar on pancakes can make your eyes go funny

C'mon then - post piccys of your new car, chop chop (congrats BTW)

Horsforth - that'll have been mine again 8)

Damn you moose :lol

You'll have to come to Buckles tonight as I'm bored of being the only super cool coloured car i attend :bravo

EDIT - being the big geek that I am, I got my wife to make me this for all KG owners should they have any use for it ...

Nope not me (again!) - I've only had mine for 9 months or so

Damnit - and there was me thinking I was the only KG in the village

It's probably best to buy them online - I haven't heard of any shops that go nuts with the detailing products.

Personally if I'm giving it a good going over I go for

Foam lance with foam gunk, and a little shampoo
Wash wheels as they are normally very dirty
2 bucket method to wash the car using a ...

I'm not that far from you (Garforth), but alas I didn't see you today. Congrats on the new motor!

I think i bumped into the JCT gang last night in the Aagrah at Garforth last night on their way to Buckles. Hello again, sorry I couldn't make it last night - i was just plain shattered.

I also spotted a white Lotus Cortina (immaculate) coming off the motorway onto the Cedar Court roundabout on ...
