What the change will give me is 5* comfort and the ability to drive for more than 2 hours without feeling crippled and of course it is so much easier to get in and out.

If I had a three car garage I would have been tempted to keep the Lotus because I did love it but it was time to move on.

After a quick run round my favourite roads I know it will be my preferred vehicle unless there are floods, snow or I'm giving a lift to more than one person. The adventure starts here...
