OL55 Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Why would you do that?! Seriously though - I did the same earlier in the year and it’s been a great change. I’m sure I’ll be back in a lotus, but not for a while... What’s the date for M2 in the peaks 😂 Oli Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lotus111 Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 As long as your are happy mate, no matter what brand of car you buy, the M2 is the best M car since the E30 M3 and happy motoring to you. Will miss you on our breakfast runs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KurtB Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 I quite like the M2. It's small, looks aggressive and no doubt a quality product with lots of kit. The one thing I REALLY dislike though is the stretch of the tyre sidewalls, particularly noticeable on the front tyres. It looks SO awful and I can't help thinking that (as I wouldn't get exclusive use of such a toy), the wheels would be kerbed in no time. If only tyres would go back to higher profiles with a bit of a bulge to the sidewalls. I'm sure the camaraderie on the M2 forums won't be a patch on MLOC, but this may not be a factor to you. Enjoy your purchase Ian, and we'll see you back before long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scatty Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Life’s too short not to try different cars that you like. i wanted to try an Evo and then returned to the fold. Then wanted to try a Caterham which I now have. jeffs your man to chat too about saloons, he can’t get enough of them :-) (in joke) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
