Couldn't be duller than here! God knows why anyone buys a fast car these days. Last one I bought was a Porsche Carrera in 1982. Sold it after 3 months due to total frustration with traffic congestion, police and jealous characters spoiling the paint! Now I cruise around in comfort in my 540i Auto Bimmer. Big change from the late 50's and early 60's when we used to race 3 abreast to and from parties etc! Had to watch the dials in those days.
Never driven a Lotus Sunbeam. Had a Lotus Cortina for a short period but got fed up up with cracked rear axle casings. Did have a Sunbeam version of the Hillman Imp for a short period though. No weight on the front so braking on non-perfect surfaces was dodgy which resulted in it's elimination.
