Have heard other owners being unhappy with the support they’ve had from Porsche after being multiple owners previously. That is one thing I have to say Lotus support seems to be good with. Thanks for the insight tho, interesting to hear it was no quicker on track [emoji106] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Interesting you came from a GT3 to Exige... Would have thought GT3 was an upgrade from Exige, not so in your opinion? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Do a test drive swap on a run out [emoji106][emoji6] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Haven’t got the space for a collection even though it’s a great shout! McLaren’s are again a great shout but heard horror stories in reliability, elec gremlins and the like. The Lotus just ticks every box. Maybe the brand has just took hold like everyone said it would! [emoji3] Maybe a Type-131 will be the natural choice.... The sentiment is probably that these cars and the brand are just brilliant at getting under your skin! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ha ha. Certainly my comment wasn’t aiming to come across as a show off. Not in any position to swap but I am a petrol head and love window shopping. Nothing floats my boat though as something to aspire too now.... good for the choice as it is now but very curious what others have done Matt Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi all, Took delivery of my Exige 410 in December. It ticks every box for me, special to drive, an event every time, race car for the road, I could go on and am sure other Exige owners out there feel the same. However it’s uncovered an issue. I’ve always had an upgrade path, always had an eye on a type of car I want. It just ticks every box, and whilst I’m in no way ready to upgrade and thoroughly enjoying the experience of it, I don’t now know what’s next. So who has “upgraded” from a 410 (I don’t think the 430 is where I’d go) to give a similar experience and what have you upgraded

Hi Luke I’ll be there with the club I’m involved in SC:UK We’ve got a static stand organised with them for The Runway so around 30 cars of all types. Be interested to know if there are any other Lotus clubs there and I’ll say Hi. Matt Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’ve managed 340 miles since New Years Eve. That includes the 7 it arrived with, and the 110 miles driving back from the dealer on collection day and a round trip to have the exhaust valve done. So about 200 miles in a month [emoji22] I made the mistake of getting it out the garage today so works taken a back seat [emoji12] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Congrats Adam. Shame we weren’t quite matching on the reg front. If it’s anything like mine, I’ve managed to do the sum total of 248 miles since New Years Eve [emoji1787] God this running in phase is torture Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Prefer your last paragraph Nick [emoji23][emoji106] Agree though. Prices are all over, Winter time, lockdown, lotus doing new 50/50 free servicing deals and the new run out models all probably having an affect on prices. End of this year into 2022 my gut is values will stabilise due to end of model and it being known widely as a cracking platform. Unless we get penalised in some way for running dirty petrol of course [emoji51][emoji23] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
