    I seriously can't stop watching YouTube vids of the Evora 410 and/ or the Exige 380. Lotus is killing it lately. Just when I thought I'd never want to trade my car.... I would miss out on 8K+ shifts though.

    I can agree to that.

    Yeah same here - I get more excited about an m3. I don't know if it's because I only want things that are within or just outside of my budget, or if I just don't like hyper- things. I'm guessing the former though. Exactly the same with watches.

    Just vacuumed my car. Was boring and took ages. Can't be bothered to polish the leather.

    Even the M3--fast, but fat. I can't imagine it feels anything but numb. Although, my brother's S5 is good to drive, far better than his S4, so maybe there's still hope for fixed roof four seaters.

    Looked up CNC motors in Ontario CA. Your cars, or do they let you take home work there? Either way very nice.

    I get that. I have no real want of a Ferrari, McLaren, Lamborghini, Maserati or even a Austin Martin. Given how much we drive even the Jaguars and Porsche are a bit of over kill for us. Fun over kill though.

    Some cars are for posters, some get you about and carry bags of fertiliser from the garden centre.

    I couldn't have two cars, unless my life warranted an agricultural load-lugger. I can do unnecessary watches but not cars. For cars I just want the equivalent of a do-it-all watch.
