I,m sorry to say that after 8 years of ownership and many fun times she passed away today at bedford autodrome whilst doing what she loved best. Totally driver error, too much right foot on out lap and ended up backwards into tyre wall/armco barrier and then for good measure turned upside down finishing on her roof. Thankfully I, m insured for such circumstances though I feel I somewhat of a sadness that she went like that as I even had a buyer lined up after the zandvoort event in August. On a positive it had many special parts and if I manage to get it back from the insurers there could be some nice bits for sale in the future so keep yr eyes peeled if yr interested. Shame as first session she was munching everything in her path....oh well onto bigger and better things I guess. To my beloved vxr may u rest in peace in vx heaven.

Yerr I, m ok but probably going to feel a little stiff tomorrow, pride hurting more than anything else. Not sure if I will have a replacement in time for Zandvoort as car I want is currently on production line and their quoting 8 weeks for delivery.Sounds like you did a proper job on it Peter. You okay? Little sore?

B and C have a nice orange V6 Exige in stock along with some others they bought cheap off Lotus so Lotus could pay their bills. There's a deal to be done

I don't really want it in my possession and have to look at it every day, already spoke to insurance about buying it back, shouldn't be a complicated payout as had an agreed value on car anyway. In answer to next car it's neither of those 2 mentioned, it's a 360 cup in white and red and looks great imoGlad you're OK. Whatever you do don't let the insurance company take it. Keep it in your possession until payout is decided.
