2012 was a simpler time, with simpler pleasures.

Given the market for Tolkien right now, all one would have to do to afford that car is sell a few items.

Sadly that car was one of a tiny number of the final 2010/11 Exige S facelift cars. Rarer than hen's teeth. That was the very last 4cyl Exige delivered in Australia, actually. Only new car I have ever bought, and I *totally* regret selling it when I moved to NZ.

At least I still have the book!

I personally am glad to see you got through the mid life crisis early Stu and hopefully have returned to owning normal people cars ??
