LOTUS VIRGIN

Hi all

On impulse I dropped in to JCT today with a view to test driving an Elise. Drove a 54 reg dark blue R with 65000 miles, probably one of your member's trade-in. Very nice tight car bearing in mind the age and mileage. Salesman Tim then informed me they had three ex-Hethel management Evoras in stock. We went out in a white 60 reg car which was showing a pressure drop on one of the tyres so we decamped into a 59 reg Aquamarine blue with oyster / black interior. I was smitten. So refined and so many toys I couldn't resist and bought it on the spot. I couldn't believe how superb this car felt. I believe Tim has brought this car to one of your meets recently. Anyway I am the new owner. Take delivery next week. I live in Acaster Malbis so very close to the Buckles and look forward to bringing the Evora to the January meet. In the meantime if anyone cares to come and have a chat or any advice/ tips on the forum drop me a line. David.
