I'm a massive fan!! I nearly bought one when I was younger (well, my bank manager did  ::)) I took one for a test drive in the wet! Loved it, but decided I'd probably wrap it around a lamp post! I'm more sensible now, but now I can't afford or justify having one!!  >:(

Albs, next time you're ok, remind me to show you all the LC literature that I've got tucked away!  ;D :y

I remember the first time I found the ABS stand at Billing, and saw all the LC's lined up myself Daz! I nearly had a very embarrassing accident in my trousers!!  :-[ :-[ :-X :-X

except,  to be honest, what i REALLY want, is to get Omegatoy to build one in to an 03 plate elite estate .

no, really, i know i'm mad as a hatter,  but yes, that's REALLY what i want.....

hmmmm   

I nearly bought a Elite at the start of the week.... missed a black 51 plate by £20 on fleabay....    should have ignored the wife and bought the damn thing....   

then i spotted a 2003 job on Autotrader....   rang the guy, and he'd already swapped it for 2 other cars.... 

damn....

there's a green one on the bay, but it has tin worm all over the rear tailgate.....   and more miles on it than i want.....


so I'm going to spend spend spend on my Mv6 ......   and grit my teeth every time i see another elite going for sensible money.....


so, you my man, are a lucky, lucky, lucky lucky git...   :y


unless you wanna swap for a Y reg MV6 with all new suspension, ???

Very nice, but do they go up in price as they get older? £20 grand for a 20 year old car????  :o

I could be very tempted by an E class estate at some point .. though a next door neighbour has one and I wouldn't want to be copying.. ;D
