I dont know whats going on, for as long as I can remember I have loved cars and more importantly lotus cars but this year I am just not feeling it.
I have not driven my car for over a month, washed it since last year and I have not looked at a website for carbon tat or upgrades in months…
I honestly dont know why, alot of my dealings with norlog took their toll and possibly my disinterest in that has passed over but could it be the weather? Or am I just getting old and craggy?
I really need to relight my fire soon or I think I’ll put her up for sale, the only thing stopping me doing it now is the worry I’ll regret it.
So is anyone else feeling this way or am I on my own? Come on cheer me up, any suggestions on how to get my mojo back?
I was considering selling up and putting a deposit on an evora like Tim, I figure by the time I get it I’ll probably like cars again.
Boothy I know exectly how you feel as i have been feeling the same for quite a while now and not sure whats up with me. I bought a Cayenne for the wife to transport the babies around in and these days i end up driving that barge instead of my lotus or other cars, i just feel out of love at the minute with my exige.
I have got into detailing a bit this year so am going to give the lotus a good going over at some point and im hoping that this will re-light my love for cars and my lotus.
Either way as your in a similar situation you may as well wait till next spring and if your mojo hasnt been found then consider selling it then?
I’m startin to feel the same now. The dam bodywork is takin so long to get perfect and it needs to be done before I can get to the fun bits. I’m almost ready to walk away and just play with the R8…
I’m feelin too old and achy to keep screwin with this crap and I can’t stand the sanding dust any longer…Oh yeah it’s been over 105*f for the last three weeks.
I feel like that over the winter months when my cars sat in the garage , I toy with the idea of selling it and buying a practical car but then I drive it and love it again , once you hear that supercharger at 8000rpm and throw it round some corners you will feel the Lotus love again
Have you moved house Boothy ?
If so ,then it’s probably all the things that need sorting that’s eating all your time away …
That’s what’s happening with me anyhow …
Sorry to hear that, Boothy. You’re not the only one. I find my Lotus levels are boosted by being around like-minded folk. Silverstone Classic was a great lift, the drive down with Ted and Mark, the cars, the chat, etc.
What you doing Tuesday night ? Fancy a run over to Nyloc? Scenic route if poss, always a treat.
My mojo for my S1 has been gone for a few years. It comes back every now and then and I put some work in to it. That’s one of the reasons I am selling my S2, so that I have to get the S1 back together if I want to get back out again.
Know that feeling . had the black car over here for 8 months and its been gathering dust while I try to get all enthusiatic about meeting ADR’s … which mean getting rid of the just fitted MSPort brake setup, bias pedal box, front splitter and quite stupidly ONE rose joint of the toe links.
Me too, since i worked overseas more than 9 months a year. however even now i m selling it but deep inside me i know i will regret if it get sold in the end…even now i still keep looking at and thinking of buying the TMR wheels for my S1, So tempted to buy it, may be that will gets my mojo back…LOL
