Hi Guys
Believe me its a very hard decision especially as I have had such a good time with all you guys both on and off the track. The Exiges.com family is something exceptional.
I do seem to have early onset arthritis in my hands and working "down under " is getting more achefull.(does that sound a but rude??)
This @ three score years and eleven is not good.
My Crossle can be accessed from the top with easy removal of the clams etc so it should keep me going for a couple of years yet.
The oldest guy in our race series is 75 so I’ve got time left yet!!
I might bring this on an Exiges track day . trouble is you Riceburners might beat me …So whats new then?
I’m sure I heard you say you did the great BOGOF deal?? I’ve already brought your Chrome Orange S1 RC…so I’ll be down to collect the full size one shortly
Good luck with the sale…I was surprised when I saw this as I never thought you would sell up after talking with you…I’m sure the buyer (if you don’t change your mind beforehand) will enjoy it as much as I have the RC.
Jon laughed when I first got the RC going…it travelled all of 1 metre before the wheel feel off…his comment was typical lotus
I could of bought that car shortly before you did instead of my S2 but Steph put her foot down after the window fell out of the passenger side when I borrowed it.
Shows you should not listen to women as it would now be worth nearly the same amount more than the price then as what I have lost on mine.

That must have hurt. How fast were you going at the time?
Steph is obviously very flexible, i can hardly get my foot out with the car stopped & the bloody door open
Nah. Not you Bernie. Come on. Lest go through it sensibly. You have the love, you have the energy, you have the garage space, you have the passion plus you have a grandson that would love to follow in your wake. Never would i have believed it so don’t even contemplate it!
