Hi everyone. My mates all call me Kimbers and I am a moderator on "The Lotus Forums". Having grown up around Lotus's in Norfolk and my father working there for many many years I took the plunge 5 years ago and bought an Esprit S4

Since then I have also owned an S2 Supercharged Exige.

However, a bad back and...well...getting older has made me look elsewhere for my kicks! I am a speed freak, having raced in my younger days and feel lost without something punchy under my right foot.

Love the Evo IX 360 and the WR1 but recently one of my dealers (I am a Fleet Manager for a large rental company and buy and sell up to 3000 cars a year) has got in an RB320.

I have read other comments here and though I prefer the looks of the RB320 I struggle with the 4.8 0-60. Thats over half a second off the WR1, a whole second off the Evo and my old Exige.....HELP! I do much prefer the looks of the Scooby but am struggling with the 0-60 hurdle!

Thanks guys

I have swapped messages with NewSu. Have a couple of issues with Insurance and...dare I say it...the wife right now.

She expects negotiation as to what she can have if I spend £10k on a new car to play with!
