  ** Mloc 2010 Calendar Sale **
Posted by JonS - 02-4-10 21:31 - 8 comments
MLOC CALENDAR SALE



We have now shipped all ordered calendars and are very pleased to receive so many positive comments and thanks. We certainly feel this is best calendar we have produced to date.
However this year we were optimistic on the quantities ordered so we still have some calendars remaining. To recoup at least some of the costs back so MLOC isn't so out of pocket we have decided to have a sale of the remaining items.


Prices are as follows (Note each link takes you to the specific offer):

-------------------------------------------
Deal 1: Buy one calendar for £9






-------------------------------------------
Deal 2: Buy two calendars for £15






-------------------------------------------
Deal 3: Buy three calendars for £20






-------------------------------------------


MLOC calendars are ultimately subsidised already and we don't use them as a profit exercise but instead as a good way to promote the club and to give something back to the members so this sale is just a way of minimising the losses.

If you wish to take us up on any of these offers please follow the above links to the order pages. Payment is safe and secure through PayPal, and you don't need a PayPal account to use the service.

Don't miss out on your chance to get a great piece of club memorabilia and help support your Midlands Lotus Owners Club.


Many thanks,

The MLOC Team!

  Gear Linkage Cables
Posted by Neil - 03-10-10 10:43 - 1 comments
I've had a random question from a guy at work who has just bought a '52 plate VX220 - I'd never met him before but he managed to track me down because he knew I used to have the Elise.

Are the gear linkage cables the same on the S2 as they are on the VX220? I wasn't sure as the VX has a different engine, so I assumed different gearbox? He's asking as his have just gone and he's just been quoted over £700 for new cables, which seems a bit like taking the pi$$!

I've told him to whip the undertray off and check it's definitely the cables that have gone, but it would be useful if anyone can confirm that the parts are the same. If you happen to know where to pick them up for a decent price as well, all the better.

Other options are this, or a trip to PTP or Topgear Automotive.

Thanks

  Best And Worst Cars You Have Owned
Posted by ExigeLaura - 03-10-10 08:36 - 4 comments
After getting some enjoyment throwing my Cooper S around a bit this morning driving to work it got me thinking about my car ownership history and was just wondering what other people class as the best and worst cars they have had the pleasure of owning themselves.

For me the worst car ever was an SLK which was so dull to drive I could almost fall asleep each time I turned the ignition key sleep1.gif

The best was obviously my Elise which I absolutely loved to pieces and it just totally changed my life. Now I have the pleasure of an Exige in the garage but I cant say thats my best as its not technically mine, well until we get married then half of it is - fingers crossed its the driver's side wink.gif laugh.gif

  [AutoBlog] Video: C/D takes the Lotus Evora Hybrid for a virtual spin

The manufactured sounds of the Lotus Evora 414E Hybrid - Click above to watch video after the jump

Two years ago, we wrote about Lotus' Safe and Sound hybrid technology which added a V8 soundtrack over the quietude of a hybrid's electric motor. That demonstrator was a Toyota Prius, but at the Geneva Motor Show Lotus had an Evora 414E Hybrid equipped with several versions of aural enjoyment: a V6, a V12 and a non-ICE audio stab at what an electric car could maybe possibly sound like. Think Buck Rogers. Car and Driver magazine's technical editor Michael Austin sat with a Lotus engineer and tried it out. Follow the jump for the first strains of the future.
