I'm no longer a poser!

Bought my Magnetic Blue Exige S yesterday and drove it 600 miles home. Talk about getting the itch to drive out all in one shot! I'll post pics as soon as I clean the bugs out of her teeth!

I know Norm Baker doesn't get good reviews here, but the sales experience was great and Tim Donnelly (GM) was wonderful to deal with. I can't speak for their service department and I know that's where the bad reviews come from. Anyway, I just wanted to say thanks to Tim and brag a little that I finally joined the Lotus Family.

Congratulations, Craig! Ain't life grand?

I thought you had a Lotus years ago??

Did you sleep in the Exige S last night?

Congratulations on your fine purchase....

I don't see how not owning one before made you a poser though.

I had to dig this up...since I didn't realize there actually was a Dr. Know until I saw him on the Science Channel! I think I'll stay Mr. Know...I wouldn't want to be confused with him for sure heh!

Yeah it's not like he posted a bunch of 2nd hand information about 2ZZ mods from a Celica like someone around here...
