Nice posts.
I’ve got an Abarth 595 Comp convertible
MX5 mk1
VW camper 1971
Plus the Sprint, all great cars in their own way.
@nigelb Is that Blisterberg in the pic?
That and Zandvort are on my bucket list.

takes a long time to learn and the mousetrap where that pic was taken is soo steep is makes paddock hill at brands flat!

Great to see people’s other cars. I’m in the “multiple Lotus” camp:
- Exige S1
- Evora S
- Evora GT430
- Esprit S1 (barn find, mid restoration)
- plus a Sport 110 TT bike
I don’t need a daily driver but we have an Audi Q5 family wagon and VW Up “pool car” my daughters used to learn to drive.
I’m recently retired and keep thinking about another older Lotus (Elan Sprint or Elite Type 14) but can’t justify it until the Esprit is finished. I grew up with hot hatches before my first Lotus (Golf GTI, Pug 205 GTI etc) and I’m tempted by a modern equivalent like a Civic Type R or GR Yaris.

@Jamie-Exige those are both in my dream garage list.
I’ve had 6x mini’s over the years and wish I’d kept the MK1 Cooper and van.

I just added a 172 cup to the fleet. It’s a good retro feel with more modern reliability.
I suspect a mildly tuned GR Yaris would walk away from it mind!

Had quite a few minis over the years too @johnfishcurtis - this one is a keeper. Bit like the Exige, it was a chance conversation with someone that resulted in buying it

Hey Andy - I brought a 172 Cup new back when launched. Absolutely loved it so much fun. A great choice

Had a 172 Cup back in 2003, was a brilliant fun car, only negative was the seats as I didn’t have the sports seats fitted.

All cups came with the grey trim seats. I think they are fine tbh.
