Hi all, Picked up my titanium S1 elise on Saturday. I'll get some pics of it sorted soon. I'm *really* happy with it, what a great driving experience. Hope to come along to some Midlands runs when I can. David

Meet the newest addition to our family. Due on 8th Jan 2008, we're both really excited. No plans to sell the Elise yet, but the Punto's going to have to go!

Apparently this B-17 sustained a mid-air collision with a German BF-109, yet managed to fly home and land in this condition without major injuries to any of the crew members.

...and withdraw. Those dreaded Haynes manual words which strike fear into many a home mechanic. Loosely and often interpreted as smash repeatedly with the biggest persuader at your disposal, rein down on it with fire and ice. Concede defeat and go inside an sulk in corner of the lounge plotting your revenge. Having worked on my rally car for the last 14 years I thought the immaculate engine bay and underside of an Elise would signal the start of a new era, I thought the fundamental lie which is; 'and withdraw' would change..idiot. So having enjoyed the Elise since purchasing in March I've got a few small initial improvements. A new ARB will be fitted for n…

What is it with these people! Trying to get work in the morning, driving down a main road, and then you get stuck behind someone doing 40mph! It's always 40mph as well! So to get to work on time I have to leave ten past eight to get there for nine, and its only about 12 miles away! But you can garantee these same people, as soon as there's fog and you cant see, will be trying to overtake you at 60mph! Oh and add to the list people coming towards you, who flash you from a mile away, when you're trying to overtake the person driving at 40mph on straight clear road! Rant over

Hi all, my 'A' service is due next week with a new MOT. I have rung my 2 local main dealers...Bristol charge £315 and Peninsula in Exeter charge £245...i think that both give 10% off for Lotus Club membership? Now...i may try Horizon or PTP...Horizon are closer to Bristol i think...or i could go down to Sportomotive in Salisbury or there is a guy with a garage near Exmouth called Steve Miles i think at T...... Garage? Anyone know that one? Any other places that i should consider? Thanks in advance to anyone who replies!

I have a friend (no it isn't me!) who is about to sell his Golf, he has been contacted by a buyer from spain, who has agreed to buy the car without even seeing it. He says he will send a bankers draft for the cost of the car plus the cost of shipping, he then wants my friend to forward the extra money to the shipper, who will collect the car. At the moment it all sounds OK, but we both still think it is a little dodgy. I've heard of scams before that are based around a buyer from abroad, but i don't know anything more. Can anyone here fill me in on any of the details fo the scam? All help is most appreciated. Cheers Ian

Thought someone on here may have the answer to this one... Whilst on the way back from the run this afternoon, Sal asked me why all Lotus model names start with the letter 'E'. I haven't got a clue so thought I'd turn to the collective when I failed to know "all things Lotus"... Cheers, Steve.

So, having had trouble with the oil cooler parts, oil temp and pressure gauges, Sonya's silencer and my manifold, the replacement for the wrong part of the new manifold is wrong as well !!!! I'm sick of the underside of my car at the moment ... and now won't get it back on the road until Easter. That means that the car will have been unusable for literally WEEKS this year, solely due to them.

High performance models launched by Lotus will continue to be focused around lightweight construction, along the lines pioneered by company founder Colin Chapman, CEO Dany Bahar has confirmed. Lotus’ five-year, five model plan is due to commence in 2013, when the new Esprit is launched. It will be unveiled at the Geneva motor show in March, before going on sale in Europe in the late summer. The base model of the new supercar will be a hybrid, linking an electric motor producing around 100bhp to a Lotus-developed, normally aspirated V8 engine. However, Bahar confirmed that a faster, hardcore version of each new car will be produced, and that they will be made faster …

Hi chaps, i've recently seen the light and bought my first Lotus - an s1 111s Elise. Now i realise what i've been missing... fantastic fun! Anyway, the car was advertised as 'Limited Edition' - why?... i dunno! Looks exactly the same as other Elises to me. Is this just blurb applied to all Lotus cars? Is there any way i can check (before i go ahead and start making mods)? Thanks in advance. Andy
