Terrible. I'll have to drive it to be convinced otherwise.

I suppose there's no point trying to convince yourself that an Exige is anything but a race car with reg plates, so you may as well have a race car with reg plates. Good man maths!

Delicious. I'm off fantasy shopping. Again.

Had the car out for a good blast today. It is a big step up in all around performance from the last, i am quite surprised by the difference if i am honest. I guess it is all the upgrades working together.

It is a proper performance car that is for sure.

That car really looks like it has a very big smile on its face! And I bet you are grinning from ear to ear too, TC!

I don't think the garage interior looks wrong at all - It is afterall in the traditional Lotus colours. I fear that if you match the garage interior decoration to the car, then it could look awfully twee - A bit like those matching shirt and tie fabrics of the 1970's. Don't let the tail wag the dog!

As it stands, you have a Lotus garage and you have a Lotus car which doesn't have to match, in my opinion.

[Btw, I am qualified as an interior and graphic designer and also studied architecture]
