Welcome to, as you point out, a pretty exclusive club. I ran my S for 48K miles in just under 3 years. It gets better and better over time. These things are made to be driven. The transmission noise soon gets forgotten, and as someone else has said, keep it above 3,000 rpm and you won't care. Enjoy!

Have fun tonight. Currently sat in a traffic jam on the Perepherique in Paris. Quelle suprise

Ugh, I have to be up at O'crack Sparrow Fart tomorrow morning. Have fun.

Mike, as someone once shared with me (and I found it really helped): it only hurts this much because the memories are so good.

Weirdly, if that was on an Esprit I'm pretty sure there would be a very different opinion. Would I buy it? No. Do I like it? Hell yeah!

@Kevin Wheeler Changed plans, PM where you need me and at what time!

So, there will be a bunch of nay-sayers but, for me at least, I'm genuinely excited. Love the advert, and the nod to the PlayStation generation with the "For the Drivers" strap-line is inspired to my mind. A GT4 racecar is maybe underwhelming to some, but a Lotus competing in multi-brand Motorsport has genuinely put a smile on my face this morning. (WARNING! Only read the first part - if you can be bothered - the rest if you have way too much time on your hands)

New season of Game of Thrones, Avengers End Game, Star Wars "The Rise of Skywalker" teaser and now a proper (at least on the face of it ) Lotus announcement at a major car show? I am, to all intents and purposes, squealing in a most un-masculine manner this April. After the almost weekly special editions of the JMG Era, I'm kind of excited... there's been lots of infrastructure announcements... now hopefully for the real deal. I'm off to sacrifice a goat.

Spent the afternoon turning left. More fun than I thought it would be VID-20190406-WA0033.mp4

Must be something about Hampshire and Evora daily drivers... Welcome to Evora ownership.

Grand Slam. Cymru am Byth

I seem to be alone, but I'm personally of the opinion that the additional accents would make it "pop" more. It has, however, been repeatedly stated that I am a man of questionable taste...

So, Mr Jordan is a bit of a bellend...
