I loved the M100. Great Car. My wife's favorite Lotus and I have had most of them.
I would love to get another one. Have my eye on what I think is the best one in the USA right now...but I just cannot swing it.
Edit...yes...the brakes are a joke and Lotus should fire the guy that spec..ed them out. The car is downright dangerous with the stock brakes. One of the main reasons sold the car is that I was driving with my son in the passenger seat. He was like 14. We were moving right along on the back roads and I was used to my Caterham.
Some jerk in a pickup pulls out right in front of me. I hit the brakes and the damn brakes dont even lock. Car just slows down and I nearly hit the guy. If I had not used that rule "do where he is now because by the time you get there he will be gone"....I would have hit him.
