Im looking at changing cars but that lotus is just a few pennies outta my budget! xxx

going off topic on this one... but depending on your budget - you can pick up good condition mk1 elises for £6-7k.

insurance from the specialists can be very low (i've been quoted about £300 for 10k for use commuting, social and pleasure, as a 25 year old with a couple of years NCB, keeping the car on the road) and mpg, on a sensible drive is in the high 40s!
they are actually very cheap motoring, for what you get.
