Lotus Deals

Did any one else get a leaflet from Lotus in the mail about their low finance deal?. I seem to remember them doing this with the MY04 Elises just before the 111r was released. Wonder if they're trying to clear some space for another new model! Jez.

I have at last after eight months of on and off looking bought my first Lotus. Yellow 111s. .Won't be picking it up till next week but look forward to seeing everyone on the run out at the end of the month. The next post you will be seeing off me will be the dreaded insurance question. Looking forward to putting a few faces to names and thanks to everyone who has answered my questions and offered advice,especially scott who checked out a car for me. See you all soon,Nick.

Anyone know of the Lotus Drivers Club that meets at Arrow Mill Hotel, Arrow, Alcester on the 2nd Thursday each month? www.lotusdriversclub.org Who goes there? What happens? etc? I went to a meeting once somewhere near Alcester a few years ago and some very nice man was giving a talk about ECB Green Stuff and other break related stuff... The Only problem was he had a twenty minute talk which was stretched out for over an hour... My good lady passenger nearly killed me for that, because I ordered a meal not knowing about the talk and ended up eating during it.. My partner wouldn't eat in front of other people and she was stuck there... I enjoyed the foo…

well, a little too close for the dog I smacked into Coming home from the gym last night, short drive home, a medium size dog runs out in front of me. Slams on the anchors, wheels lock up and skid into the mutt at about 20mph. Hear a big "thud" then a whimper coming from under my front left wheel. Thinking I was ontop of him, I tried to get the engine started, then I saw him run off. Some nice bloke in a CTR coming the other way stopped to help chase after it. Although he did say he was more concerned about me swerving into him But the dog seemed ok. Was running fine, but I should imagine he had a sore head! Wouldn't let us get anywhere near him, but he s…

Hi there! I'm hopefully going to be a proud owner of an Elise in the near future! I've driven a couple and found one I like in Nottingham. I'm now after a Lotus garage/specialist in the local area to have the oily bits checked over. I've used the search function and found most people recommend a trip to Brum and Horizon, but that looks like a fair old trip to ask the current owner and myself to make. Has anyone found another suitable garage a bit closer? I've driven a 1997 R standard with 47k miles, and this felt very planted and 'tight' on the back roads which included some good corners, but was really showing it's age wrt wear and tear on the inside and o…

Finally sorted out our car stuff this weekend and Chris' Elise is finally mine and his new Beastie is on its way tomorrow. So now we'll have two Elises and an MR2 on the drive........... (anyone want an MR2?!)...........how smug do we feel? My grin still hasn't subsided since my drive into work today, my first domestic drive in the Elise, as it's a 200 mile round trip and a bit of an extravagance when I have a perfectly good Mk3 MR2 to do the motorway munching. Chris' sense of anticipation for his new purchase, however, is something else to witness! Can't wait till the Feb Run....... Yours, grinning like an idiot, Sonya
