its a balanced arguement between the sin of desiring an autobox in a sports cars (althou most modern supacars have flappy paddle gearboxs nowadays) and the left wing approach to heavy clutches and it must be a manual to be a proper sports cars to thrash the knickers of your passenger.. Myself who after many years of desiring a lotus who thinks the excel thought was its more refined than the manual and has a real beautiful line to it rather than like the uglier bumpered early espirit (having seen a nice example parked in front of the Hethel based head office rather more than a few years back 1 bonfire night)bought a nice SA my train of thought that as an auto it was less likely to have been thrashed and as a rarer example would 1 day be worth alot more dosh.

Hi all just checking in.. still have the ole SA. (although on sorn at min as working away alot )popped onto old site found you lot migrated here. will bookmark and keep a watchful eye ;-)
