We've done 850 miles now and have been able to bring the Elise on cam this week. It's a great party trick, but I've only seen the change up lights twice, so some might say I'm not trying hard enough!

Next up is the first service which will need doing soon after 1,000 miles. I'm going to put a Pipercross VIS induction kit on it at the same time, which will make it a bit louder (even louder I should say) and sharpen up the cam change.

If anyone was any thoughts on induction kits I would be grateful for the advice.

Had the roof off this morning, which was great fun, but come this afternoon when my wife drove over to Kenilworth it was bitterly cold again, so we stopped and put it back on.

Life with a Lotus = always looking for the back way home, (could be a start point for a new Ewan and Charley trip, "Long Way Home, 2 men, 2 Elises, 20,000 miles....?").

Traction control now sorted and windows adjusted, plus car washed and valeted while I waited. Stratstone Leicster are good.
