Gold FFM C8RKH Posted October 18, 2015 Gold FFM Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 Keep it in my garage Colin for free. Just leave the keys with me and I'll start her up from time to time, just to keep your battery charged of course! I was going ask the colour of your previous Evora, as was intrigued re the choice of white/silver stitching on the seats you had re-trimmed. All makes sense now and can see why they looked good in there. Quote I came into this world screaming and covered in someone elses blood. I'll probably leave it in the same way.

Colin G Posted October 18, 2015 Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 My brother has an industrial unit, but it's sadly full up with his project cars right now, that was my only second option. Anyway, enough derailment with my woes, fantastic looking cars gents, look forward to seeing another of the local ones when I get another Evora and attend a legs meet.

Colin G Posted October 18, 2015 Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 Aye, but I really don't want to park next to a bunch of gorgeous Lotus cars in the old Saab estate I use for ferrying my demented Weimaraner around in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold FFM Barrykearley Posted October 18, 2015 Gold FFM Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 It's a major downer for me, I'm absolutely convinced it'll be an appreciating asset as well as a joy to own. (Very jealous of the owners here!) The killer is that if I still had this garage I'd own that GTE right now - Theres no way I'm going to keep an £80k car in the street when I spend half my life working away from home though, I'd never sleep at night for worrying about it! I've got space I could lend you. if even make sure she still drove ok for you while you were away ? Quote Only here once Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gold FFM C8RKH Posted October 18, 2015 Gold FFM Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 My offer was better than Barry's, I only wanted the car, not your card and pin. Also, my garage is now heated too. 1 Quote I came into this world screaming and covered in someone elses blood. I'll probably leave it in the same way.

Gold FFM Barrykearley Posted October 18, 2015 Gold FFM Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 (edited) Dunno how to respond to that dig??? my best try - hmmm - I would have turned left, honest, so you would have less miles piled on and I even threw in a "like" in the race for that pen Edited October 18, 2015 by Barrykearley Quote Only here once Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold FFM C8RKH Posted October 18, 2015 Gold FFM Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 Haha, no dig intended but when it comes to having a GTE garage, even someone elses, the gloves come off!

Colin G Posted October 18, 2015 Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 I'll tell you what lads, whoever can explain the whole deal to my other half without her freaking out* can look after the car if I buy it. *Which by the way, would be neither of you, trust me! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin G Posted October 18, 2015 Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 Haha, don't Brian! I was just thinking, I wonder if I could convince Brandon as part of the deal to throw in free storage at MMC? I work away in the week, they could use the car as a showroom centrepiece while I'm away. Clutching at straws? Who? Me? Can I ask you guys who own them, are you regularly driving them or keeping the mileage down with an eye on value? I don't think I could own one and not drive it everywhere. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bingoking Posted October 18, 2015 Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 Cars are for driving, I just don't have time just now and the cars are in storage as my man cave is being extended. They won't be out over the winter but will have them out more next year. I bought the Elan in June with 3.546 miles on it and now just short of 10,000 after 2 trips driving in Europe. 1 Quote Join Lotus Enthusiasts Group Scotland here! and on Facebook Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post adfer Posted October 18, 2015 Popular Post Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 I did nearly 5000 miles in the black GTE I owned. It's now for sale at Murrays for more than I paid for it. Dont see the point of owning a car and not driving it. Won't be driving mine in the winter though. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

21gg Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 Mine is my only car although I do have a van for work. Previously my loti were 2nd cars. That said its insured for 5000 mpa as per my previous cars, its going to be a struggle to keep it at that though! Gav Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
