Guys, Us Lotus fans here in the U.S. hope to be getting the Exige by year end. Trouble is, we've never seen one in person. I would love to see some of you personal pics of the Exige S2 and hear your comments. Thanks

Thought you guys and girls might be interested in this. http://www.geocraft.com/WVFossils/greenhouse_data.html I know there are two sides to every argument but the content of this report looks pretty convincing to me! Dunc

Tossers like david gerald tvr! Noticed they have a rather clean 160 elise for sale! so sent an email to see if they take my tidy s1 plus my rare fhc 350i in part ex! the 160 is up for 14995! so they said if i put 7grand and my 2 cars they would do a deal!! How are they in business?? my two cars have an insurance value of 16k (which i know is not the market value) But that is ridculous. I curse the person who spends any money there.....

A few weeks ago I had a bizzare situation where my speedo only registered cumulative speed based on accerleration. Sounds wierd I know but the needle didnt fall when I slowed and then went up when I speeded up. Anyway after sitting there switching the ignition on and off 20 million times I eventually got the needle back to zero and the problem was pretty much sorted. Well now imagine my happiness when the problem has returned with avengence. 3 days now without a speedo (well it registered off the dial). Every time I slow it seems to wiggle a bit as though wanting to fall but it doesnt. Then if I switch the ignition on and off 20 million more times I can again g…

I'm sure this has been mentioned a million times before but I've searched the archives and found nada. I'm lookin for a decent pda holder for the S2. Found a great one for the S1 but no joy otherwise. www.brodit.com for ProClip s1 holder

After many weeks of consideration, I've finally come to the decision to get myself a Hurricane(replacing K&N 57i) I know everyone goes on about the Hurricane and how good it is, but is is £164 better than my warm engine bay air induction on at the minute. Secondly I would appreciate any advice on the 160 throttle body. Is it worth doing at the same time as the above, where to buy cheap, advantages, disadvantages etc. Cheers Daz

Rumour has it that Mike & Wendy may be getting shut of their drip tray under the old Jag. Yes you've guessed it Scott may be picking up his Elise....think he's forgotten what it looks like.........suppose we will have to put up with the exhaust noise again as well as his continual talking No retribution or you don't get a lift in a proper S2 Elise tomorrow

Lads and Ladettes, I recently bought my Azure blue S1 Elise and am really happy as it is a long awaited addition to my life!! I seek great satisfaction in the fact that I no longer have to look and drool at Elise's when they pass by, but I can watch people look and drool as I drive my car. Anyways, as with any harmonious new relationship, there is the downside. The upkeep of the new lady. The car is relatively low mileage (26,000) on a W (2000)plate. I intentionally made sure I bought a good example because I want to maintain its condition with every intention of holding onto it for a good few years to come. It currently has a full Lotus Service history, and I have …

Anyone had any experience of the Janspeed sports upgrade available for the S2 Elise. Fancy a bit of extra zip and reckon the 2 grand it costs would be well spent?!?!? Any thoughts??

Hi All could do with some advice as I have just found out that the Stealth Tax Brigade in Northampton have done me for doing 56 in a 50. So it looks as though I need a detector as I already have 6 points. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Oh by the way spotted quite a few of you on the way down to Le Mans on Thurs. You were pulling into the services on the way to Rouen. Unfortunately I wasn't in my liz but was a passenger in a Blue 911 Cab instead. Fantastic weekend even though I didn't drive. Anyway thanks in advance for any advice. Cheers LIVY

Got pulled again last night for no front no. plate, ' wasn't even traffic that pulled me, just a plod in his panda(focus). He pulled out of a side road turning towards me just as i passed that side road, so he got a good clear view of the front of the car, i knew he was onto me! There were plenty of cars behind me, and he had to turn round. But i spotted him in my wing mirror two cars behind at some traffic lights i had to stop at, about a mile from where i first saw him. At the round about up the road i needed to turn right, the two cars behind went straight on. So PC Plod followed me down to the next round about, where we both went straight over in to humped a…
