Hey all, it’s taken a while (after asking questions here http:// https://www.midlandslotus.co.uk/forum/topic/70475-dropping-in-to-say-hello-%F0%9F%91%8B/) but I finally took the plunge and I’ve had this for a couple of weeks now. Got LOADS of questions about bits and pieces that need doing, but for now I thought I’d share the new member to the forum! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Started this year's trackday season opener at Bedford, sad to say I was the only Lotus owner there.

I had Alex come over on Saturday from Wainwright specialist Detailing who is a great supporter of Mloc and LitP to detail my Emira well he worked his magic and the car looks Majestic. another great thing the polish he used is amazing, after a run out in the Peaks yesterday morning the car got covered in the muck of the thick brown nasty stuff 😜 so when I got home I thought I had better rinse the worse off ready to wash it properly on Monday as I had to go out to my amazement it all easily hosed off so in 20 mins the car looked great again 😀 I would recommend Alex to anyone who would like to treat their car to a makeover it's worth every penny you can reach Alex …

Left home at 9.30am this morning, just arrived home. Trip to a classic car dealer near Kettering, then thought I'd pop into Lotus Silverstone before heading home using part of Fosse way. Around 150 miles or so with the roof of. I'm biased of course, but if you've never driven an S1 Elise, I implore, with every fibre of my body that you need to drive one of these remarkable cars for at least a day. At various times today I uttered "suits you sir" to myself. What a feeling they give you. I bow to it.

Hey cool motor lovers! My Elise has been off the road since the end of Oct, hibernating in the garage away from this typical British winter weather! But alas, one week to go and March is here, and if its anything like today, Im taking her out onto the open road again! Taxing her from the 1st March. Bring it on! Anyone else been locked away for the winter, and now desperate for some bendy roads to bring that driving grin back? Although she has been stored away, Ive added a new cup holder. Bolts into the two pre-cut holes in the under tray level with the gear lever. Son made it for me for my birthday, although it took till Christmas to finish it! He even anodised …

Red. Been thinking of getting an Emira for a while but a new one wasn't going to get approval from the Finance Committee. However, there are plenty of newish ones around for far less (still a lot of £ though!). After trying the 2.0 and not really enjoying it, I've gone for a V6 in Magma Red. Only picked it up last Thursday and still getting used to it. So far so good. Lotus really make purchase difficult - had to go to Silverstone to test drive the 2.0, and to Bradford for the test of the V6. Then over to Stratton's in Norwich to buy it. Better photos will undoubtably follow, but here's a starter for 10 (Son's AMG E43 in the background...) When I get …

Heads-up...

Just a little heads-up for a superb item I have for sale in Classifieds It really is in as-new condition, and would cost well over £1000 new if it was still available from Lotus (which it isn't, of course). I'm open to sensible offers from buddies on MLOC though .

just got back from Classic Lotus where I enjoyed a very interesting talk given by Peter Wright who has just written a book about his life including the 60 years he spent engineering and designing racing cars. Well worth the early start, I did find some fun roads to drive so although I'm Knackered now I have had a good day
