Sold my Lotus -- new to me E46 M3
After two years of ownership I've sold my 2007 Lotus Elise. I enjoyed the car, but frankly I always worried whenever I drove it. The engines are robust, but the bodywork sure if fragile. Exceptional car on the track, though.
Today I picked up an E46 M3 -- about average for mileage, new TCKline single adjustable coilovers, and three sets of OEM BMW wheels. Too bad track days are almost at an end up here. I will enjoy it for a few more weeks before it goes away for the winter. |

That was a nasty sound when the engine went away.
