First post guys so be gentle......... I have decided to fulfill a childhood dream and buy a lotus. Specifically a 111s. Just after some reassurance that this is the best car for me. I want to do mainly weekend blasts with 3-4 trackdays a year. Is the extra power over the standard car worth it??? It will be a second car so practicality not a problem. I want a car that I can drive hard and it won't destroy itself... Also I really really can't make my mind up on colour (subjective I know) but are there any general colours that are always good rather than ones to 'avoid' Thanks MAtt

Will I need to refit the cat for trackdays? Anglesey is 105db. Would it be worth taking the cat just in case?

Hi all just wanted to update people on my dispute with a lotus dealership over the brand new elise i purchased which turned out to be damaged repaired. My car has now been at dick lovetts body shop for 4 months left outside in the weather and i doubt very much that it has even been started in that time. It is now well over two months since i officially rejected the car through solicitors and dick lovett have not even replied to them in any way, they have spoken to me in person and said i,d have to go to court against them. Lotus offered to repair the car and respray under warrenty but strongly deny they repaired the vehicle in the first place.But why should i accept that …

Hi All, I'm planning to buy my first Elise over the next couple of months. Having reading every review known to man I still have a few questions, any help would be great :-) 1) I'm planning to get a 1998-2000 Elise - How much do you think it will cost a year on about 10000 miles for Lotus servicing and normal wear and tear. 2) There seems to be quite a big difference between the showroom price and private sale price, more than standard cars. Is it a good idea to goto a dealer or would a private sale be better (I am a novice). Do the AA etc know what to look for on the Elise if I asked the to do an inspection 3) What would be the best one to go for ? I'm a…

The "beast" is off to Horizon today for a new cambelt and some rear shocks. That should bring Mike back down to earth after working on all those Porsches and Lotuses. Fiona

OK, I have uncovered a quite low mileage 160 in very good nick. Further to this I've discovered an amazing insurance company that will insure it for £700 with no no claims bonus... (less than all other quotes I've had for a stock S1 with 1 years NCB) How much is the going rate for a decent 160? Rob
