Does anyone have any good photos of this year's LitP that they wouldn't mind sharing? Absolute Lotus magazine would like to publish a short report of the event and need some photos. Ideally I think they would like a selection of pics from the entire weekend so bbq, pootle, runs, Sunday breakfast stop the procession down Winnats Pass and Bamford. Photos of the people aswell as the cars are also welcomed. If you have any and are happy for them to go in the magazine without a credit or payment then please email them to me at [email protected] Thanks very much 😊👍 Dean

Hi just wanted to pop my head in to say hi, first time poster. 🙂 I'm Little Steve, I've been running an Emira V6 FE in Hetel Yellow as a daily for the past 3 months and been thoroughly enjoying myself with it. It's my first Lotus and she's generally been very well behaved, random electrical quirks aside. I'm well into middle age and have driven allsorts over the years, I've been a massive JDM enthusiast previously but have driven plenty of nice cars from across the globe. I sold my GT86 and RX7 track car to purchase the Emira and it sits in a perfect middle spot between the two. I always fancied an NSX and this feels like a natural successor in many ways. I…

As the title suggests , a newbie query. I have just bought an S2 Elise , 2007 with the Toyota 1ZZ power unit in ‘ touring spec’. That means electric windows, a radio and , err, not sure what else. Anyway, that is not the subject of the query. The car is blue with a cream interior. The latter I don’t plan to keep. In fact , already bought some equivalent second hand door cards in black and am looking hard at a pair of Corbeau LE seats . So, first part of my query centres on those Corbeau seats. Anyone on here have them or at least used them and have a view on them and the second is a vague idea of what, if anything, a pair of cream seats with matching door cards is actuall…

Hi All ive finally purchased a car that I’m picking up on Tuesday. 😁😁😁 it’s a October 2006 registered car which I’ve assumed is a 111R but the decals on the wings and the back panel just state “R” Can anyone enlighten me as to why it’s only got the R and not 111R The guy who I purchased it off has had it from new and is an older gentleman with all work being done at Lotus dealers so he wouldn’t have been swapping decals over advise welcome

I love the Lotus in the Peak event and it's great to see all the positive posts and pictures of this year's event. I wasn't there this time because I'd decided to attend the Jim Clark 60th anniversary celebration of his F1 championship, Indi 500 win & Tasman series championship. This was organised by the Jim Clark Trust and took place at Duns Castle very close to his Scottish home. It ran on both Saturday and Sunday, so we (six of us) had decided to travel up to Scotland on Friday, have the day at the event on Saturday and travel back down on Sunday taking in the Yorkshire dales. The route was selected to avoid the motorways, and to use some very scenic and hopefu…
