A Passion For Cars
For GF, lightweight, driver focused cars are the pinnacle of enjoyment. Since his father sold his Caterham 7, GF had always aspired to own one.
This was made possible in 2015, and the adventures started with a road trip from London to Croatia. After a few years of enjoyment, it was decided that a more sensible option (with doors and a roof!) was required, so the Caterham was sadly sold.
In its place, a Lotus Exige S V6 in Liquid Yellow found a home. This was much more suitable and the car has been used and enjoyed throughout Europe, to the tune of over 40k miles. The car quickly became a bit of a project, where GF could show his personal character and attention to detail. The latest round of modifications included a full respray in a custom purple paint, plus aerodynamic additions and some lightweight HRE Wheels.
