Thanks Steph.

Yeh let's just say I'm a rather "snug fit" too! Here's me thinking the R26.R was a tight fit! That's nothing! lol Ah well gives me more reason to get to the gym

When my mum saw it today she was like "Wow! She's EVIL!"

Well in answer to that Goodyear there are good and bad points with every single manufacturer. There are people who would swear Ford are the worst, others who say (hard to believe but true) that Renaults are bad etc lol This one is 2 years old so you're kind of hoping that any issues would have reared their head by now. Oh and before you ask the previous owner only got rid of it for a Exige Roger Becker edition (with black styling pack). He's got a thing for black cars with black wheels lol

The RS drank fuel at an alarming rate and whilst it wasnt breaking his bank persay it wasnt great. We stuck £40 in for a full tank on the Lotus and that lasted almost twice as long. Yes there will be times when you'll miss that 5 pot 2.5 growl and those immense bangs from the exhaust and the way the dump valve chattered but when you're someone who loves (truly loves) going out on track, the RS isnt the car for you really. Plus it had a problem with the brakes that SCC Performance couldnt fix, Ford couldnt find etc so he just had no confidence it would ever be solved.

The right car (for him) came along at the right time, right spec and right price so he just went for it.
