1999 : The waiting list evapourates

It's 1999, and the word on the street is that the waiting list is under 6 months.

The premium on secondhand cars has vanished, insurance is rising as more cars are crashed and the bubble is about to burst.

A wise man would now wait a few months and snap up a bargain.But a wise man would buy a Merc or BMW instead, so I reckon it's time to go Lotusing.

"You're not seriously going to buy that are you ?"

why not ?

"we could buy a proper car for that price, one with carpets for a start"

but it's cute......

"so are furbies and I bet you can't even get in it...."

See (ouch) there, and once you're in it's real cosy....

"now get out....."

Well, it put me off for a week or two, but heck, it's a guy's duty to support these cottage industries....
