Re: 2007 Lotus Exige S
Drove it to the body shop, they re-installed the rear clam, then drove it home and installed the lights, battery, hatch, wing, etc and then the new owner drove it home.
The rear clam looked awesome, paint was perfect. Wish I could have enjoyed it a bit like that but oh well. The guy is local and said I can come ride around or see it if I want to reminisce.

Re: 2007 Lotus Exige S
Yea, it was really fast, didn't even get a chance to take a few last pictures because it was dark when we finished putting it back together. New owner said I could stop by after our trip and get some then.
Noble M400 is at the top of my list right now, but the one I was going to buy sold two days ago. Open to other cars as well, but I really liked how lightweight the Lotus was.

Re: 2007 Lotus Exige S
I'm pumped to see what you get next, interested to talk to you about car choices next time you come up here.
Viper? 996? GTR? BMW?

Re: 2007 Lotus Exige S
Buy an Evo! (I wanted to get that out of the way before the usual Style crowd comes in and says it).
Andrew - you turned that Lotus into a great looking machine. I'm excited to see what comes next!

Re: 2007 Lotus Exige S
Lotus is so much nicer than that. Its a cool concept but the interior is terrible and just doesnt stand out as much to me.

Re: 2007 Lotus Exige S
Agree the interior looks cheap in those. And the exterior finish on that one looks kinda meh. To me the nostalgia for those is the fact you can say you built it, but if you didn't and just got it off ebay then I'd look elsewhere.

Re: 2007 Lotus Exige S
LOL @ cheap. For what you get new I suppose, since we are talking about ~60k cars.
