Careful now, I might just treat that as an offer!

The MR-2 has the Lotus engine fitted since I was last talking to you, the brother was testing it behind your house at the weekend actually.

I must give you a lash in it soon, I do want to hear those horns...

We had to get rid of the Mrs' MR2 in favour of a more family friendly car recently. We miss it! It must be fab with the Lotus engine.

I think that the green brigade issue too much hot air.

I have just insulated the external walls and attic of our home; put in heating controls and solar tubes, the motivation was not to reduce my carbon footprint but to reduce my heating bills.

IF you have a Gigawatt amp, turn it on, heat the house and enjoy it.

Lucky you! My Mrs. hates the MR-S with a vengeance!...

"It's too low, too bumpy, there's no boot and it's not even that fast"

The only cars she ever liked were the WRX, the RAV-4 and the feckin Prius!

She is slowly warming to the 450-h though. However a high speed blowout combined with the lack of a spare tyre en route to a surprise weekend away to Adare has dampened her enthusiasm for it somewhat...
