New 350 sport

[Lockey]

Good evening All,
I’m excited to say that I have joined the gang this week. It was delivered to me on Wednesday. 
It’s a new 350 sport in yellow. 
I have had a few nice cars before but I do like the more impractical interesting type.
Previous cars include.
Boxster S 
911 c4s
911 turbo 
Noble M12 3r
BMW M4
Lotus exige S 220
BMW M2
Also in that time many motor bikes.
My favourite from that lot was the Noble. It was fast, loud, extreme and rare. I always had a smile on my face when I drove it. Even just going 10 miles to work! I wanted something similar but fresh and new. The only car made today which is similar is the S3 exige. I have taken a bit of a gamble as I haven’t driven one before. I’ll be driving one soon!
I have attended many trackdays over the last 15 years or so. I won’t be tracking the exige every week but I’ll attend 3 or 4 throughout the year. I’m quite lucky where I live as I have silverstone, donnington, snetterton, Bedford autodrome, Mallory and Cadwell all within 1.5 hrs drive. I’m also looking forward to a summers evening blast to the seaside for a fish and chip supper and a Sunday afternoon drive on some quiet country lanes. Well that’s me. I’ll post some pictures and contribute to the site if you’ll have me?

Welcome to TLF and back to Lotus ownership! Ballsy buying without driving but you're in for a pleasant surprise when you get the chance to have some proper fun with it! 👍

@lockey that looks a beauty. I do like that bright yellow Lotus paint. Looks stunning in the flesh too. Hope you enjoy it to the full.

Welcome and congratulations.  That looks stunning!  You'll love it.

Skimming down your list of previous cars my eyes stopped at the Noble before reading it was your favourite.  I agree it's one of the most memorable cars I've driven, including amongst some equally rare and more expensive supercars.

The other circuit near you is of course Hethel.  Well worth looking out for the Lotus On Track sessions there, and of course the Lotus Driving Academy training is excellent.  As a previous Exige owner and track driver you probably know this already.

Look forward to reading about your experiences.

Welcome to TLF Lockey.

Yellow. Must be my screen as the first couple of photos, I'd have sworn it was orange. Still looks great though.
