Seeing as the market will tank in used cars I am keeping my eye out on this, to help fund it I think I would let the E30 go and trade in the S1, think I wouldd also take a hit but sometimes a change in direction is needed in life.

I have a soft spot for Lotus, had a couple of Esprits in the past. I just love the way they drive.

Having to let go of the S4S because I needed deposit money was the biggest wrench I ever had with a car.

The E36 M3 Evo I bought after it was faster and more powerful but it felt half the car on the road.

DO IT! ...........just DO IT! :twisted:

I know the feeling,

my previous ride was a 111R it was epic like you had to be sold as I needed the money at the time and it was worth more than the E30

Gavla when he was detailing did a fantastic job on the car

Current one, this is raw in comparison I had plans to keep it forever but now temptation has crept in and the S2 is usable as a daily so the E30 may be going,

At my first job there was a lad who didn't eat lunch and barely had a pot to piss in because he saved up and bought an Exige. He could barely afford to put fuel in it but I did admire him for having it haha.

Did something like that when I was 19 so I could have a Capri Injection Special - my boss at the time called me all kinds of names for having such a 'flash' car and told me to park it where no-one could see it! So glad to hear it's not like that everywhere!
