Gold FFM CocoPops Posted April 27, 2018 Gold FFM Report Share Posted April 27, 2018 She’s gone To a loving new home, I know that much for sure! Was so refreshing to deal with a fellow enthusiast rather than a random off autotrader. 1 Quote Current: 2021 Lotus Elise Cup 250 FE in Isotope Green, Red Alcantara Interior, Carbon Aero Kit, AirCon, Carpets & Mats, NVH pack, Cruise Control, Stereo, Red Calipers.

It's second hand so it's not going to impact the sales figures though... @CocoPops Quote Blessed with the competence to be a slave to the incapable.

Popular Post Gashead1105 Posted April 27, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted April 27, 2018 It's mega! Credit to Lee, it looks brand new and drives perfectly. I hope to keep it in similar condition. Great to meet a fellow enthusiast as well!! Now a lot filthier than when it left. Rain was biblical on the way home and I think the windows may need a little adjusting,although from September it will hopefully be kept in the garage. 9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold FFM blindside Posted April 27, 2018 Gold FFM Report Share Posted April 27, 2018 Commiserations @CocoPops. I hope you have something else equally as stunning lined up to take the pain away.🤞 Good that a car like that it is staying in the fold.

Gold FFM Popular Post CocoPops Posted April 27, 2018 Author Gold FFM Popular Post Report Share Posted April 27, 2018 It’s gone to a good home. I wouldn’t have sold it, had it not been for the fact that Mrs Pops has a brain tumour, which we’ve lived with for a few years but it seems daft to have so much cash tied up. Equally, we found out only this Wednesday that the tumour has regrown, so that reaffirmed the need for it to go and for our savings pot to grow again. (Here’s a thread I started to chart our BT journey http://www.vx220.org.uk/forums/topic/129770-brain-cancer-sucks/ ) I do have a new toy on order, but that was my dream car and I’m very glad it’s gone to a good home. I got the impression that as soon as Will saw it, he knew I’d looked after it. Used it well. But looked after it. I made the mistake of adding up paperwork... ceramic coat, paint film, pads, tyres Still, some very memorable trips in the (almost) 2 years I’ve had it, some with Mrs Pops and some without. Next? Well it’s smaller and blue... still “Handmade in Hethel” of course. 4 1 Quote Current: 2021 Lotus Elise Cup 250 FE in Isotope Green, Red Alcantara Interior, Carbon Aero Kit, AirCon, Carpets & Mats, NVH pack, Cruise Control, Stereo, Red Calipers.

Gashead1105 Posted April 27, 2018 Report Share Posted April 27, 2018 Oh yeah Lee, was clear as soon as you got it out the garage. It's been used properly but lovingly and pampered accordingly. I was delighted as soon as I saw it, was expecting a lot and it delivered! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulCP Posted April 27, 2018 Report Share Posted April 27, 2018 Will, you certainly dropped on a good 'un Lee, i know how much you cherished both of the Evoras you had & can't fault your priorities with the circumstances you've had to deal with over the past 4 years. No doubt you are looking forward to the new Hethel adventure & hope all goes well for Alex, you and the girls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcx Posted April 27, 2018 Report Share Posted April 27, 2018 Sorry to hear about the circumstances @CocoPops, sometimes life just gets in the way.. I wish you and your family all the best. Having met you and Will, I’m sure the car you chose will be well looked after.. Looking forward to seeing what comes along next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gold FFM Steve V8 Posted April 27, 2018 Gold FFM Report Share Posted April 27, 2018 My thoughts are with you and your family Lee, just read the VX thread, wow what a journey you've had, cars are great, but just stuff, your priorities are spot on, not the end of an era but the beginning of a new one and long may it continue, four years ago you'd have given anything to have Alex here today and here she still is fighting that shitty disease, seen the kids off to school, next secondary school, then uni, keep that glass half full. Best regards and best wishes Steve 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gold FFM CocoPops Posted April 28, 2018 Author Gold FFM Report Share Posted April 28, 2018 Thanks all. I’ve just been to view my new car. Cars are my release, they give me something positive to look at whilst things aren’t great with Alex’s health. So, Tuesday is collection day, Wednesday is an appt with brain surgeon, Thursday is tracker install day and Friday is PPF day busy week ahead. 2 Quote Current: 2021 Lotus Elise Cup 250 FE in Isotope Green, Red Alcantara Interior, Carbon Aero Kit, AirCon, Carpets & Mats, NVH pack, Cruise Control, Stereo, Red Calipers.

Hangar 111 Posted April 28, 2018 Report Share Posted April 28, 2018 So which day is big reveal day...? We missed calls before about possible upgrade - give me a shout if/when you want to discuss further. As everyone else, hope things go as well as possible with the family stuff.
