   Went and did the deed this afternoon: Graeme's forthcoming new car Met Don who is a top notch chap. Retired ex-Rover/LR engineer who really knows his stuff. Owned the car from new and even then it was his second Elise. Paying the asking price (and not afraid to say so) because it represents tremendous value to someone who wants that spec, as I do. If you'd seen it too, you'd realise that the price is right and if I didn't offer it, then someone else would. We have an arrangement whereby he will give me time to sell my car, so watch out for a separate post. Graeme

   I'd like to say "woot" I've just had a call off Wendy to tell me that the Elise has passed the MOT... was a bit concerned about the emissions, as I understand 160's can be borderline even with the cat, but its all good! And my pads were worn like I thought, Greenstuff being fitted as we speak - its a good job its what I decided on, its the only thing they have in stock at the moment!

   Hi guys, Just got back yesterday from our tour of Scotland. Had a great time and only had the raincoats on for half an hour the whole trip. Thought I'd share some photos with you. I've had to reduce the quality for upload. See you next weekend. Fiona

    Can Someone Please Help?

    Ok, then, I am new to the whole Lotus thing, having come from TVR's. We have a 111R on order due a week on Saturday, but I must say I am finding it difficult telling the difference between the models. Especially for spotting purposes. So what is the difference (on sight) that would be easy for me to see, between an S1, S2, 111s and 111R?

    Went out tonight for a drive and couldn't believe how quick the Elise was. The top end, especially, was monsterous.....thought someone had popped a Toyota lump in while I was away over the weekend Anyone else noticed any increase in performance now it's getting cooler? Better just go and check the name on the camcover again just in case:magic:
