don't try and fool me- I know your gt3's don't have GPS. you must be running with a tom-tom in there huh?

John,

Just get the "other" CUP car -- I can get you a good deal.

You Lotus guys have a good thing.... I went to the Lotus dealer earlier this week (with helmet in hand) to look at the new Exige 240 as an addition to the track garage. Unfortunately, my freakish height prevents me from sitting up straight as I hit the roof with my helmet. What a car though... The test drive (w/o helmet) was a blast... I can only imagine what a Cup Car feels like...

Yes sir, one of these is on the way from Hethel -- same power as the Cup255 but weighs ~ 400 pounds less .....

Now you are talking Jack! The local Lotus dealer tried to pursuade me to look at that Lotus 2-Eleven. They received one allocation, and it should be delivered to the new owner within the next few weeks. They will be calling me to come look at it... Let us know what you think when you get it!

Blake,

If you really liked the Exige S 240, there's a company that sells a seat lowering kit -- they say you can pick up 2-3 inches of headroom..... http://www.sector111.com/products/in...seat_rails.cfm

Thanks Jack! 2-3 inches would be ideal!

Thanks for the link.
