Thank you Mark Regards Ray

Thanks, hopefully we can get back out there and meet up with fellow Lotus enthuasists again soon!

Happy Christmas to all from Lapland!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So a mere 10 months after ordering, I finally got my hands on my new car. Picked up my Elise 250 Cup in Heritage Racing Green yesterday from Central Lotus. Thought I picked a dry weekend but what did I know 🙄 Too late for any runs now, but fingers crossed I can get back out for some once the weather turns in the new year!

MLOC is an absolute gem of a club. Huge well done and thanks to Mark. Here's to a bright future for the club and members.

Merry Christmas everyone. I hope you all have an enjoyable Christmas and New Year. Thanks to those that organise and run the club, coming out on club runs is always a great pleasure for the driving and the company. Here's to lots in 2022 as well as a hugely successful LiTP.

Plus removing the losing boxers gloves and tying the winning boxers hands behind his back as well as equalising the points for the last round just for shits and giggles. I wouldn’t be surprised if Hamilton quit. It’s not just the time and effort that any elite performer needs to expend to stay on top. These guys are actually laying their lives on the line to compete in an unfair sport,

Thank you to Mark and all the other team members running MLOC - a fantastic club 👍🏽

Mark, good effort. Where have the 20 years gone lol.

Well what can I say.. you all know I had my fantastic 250 cup but as I edged towards my 50th I though it’s time for a Porker! So the cup went to a very good home and Louis will be joining our outings 😊 (anther fantastic member) But those seat of the pants driving experience you don’t get that in anything other than awesome chassis design! So say hello to the new Lotus as I couldn’t be without one 🙈 once your Lotus your always Lotus 🥰

I’ve just had a look £43.50 plus £14 shipping for 2 pieces of black dibond from “G J Plastics” (1840 x 260) I then bought some speakers spikes the same thread as some of the bolts under the sill and put the spikes in, offered the board up where I thought it needed to be and pushed to mark the holes I needed to drill.. I actually took them off before trimming or final positioning as I didn’t think they worked with the splitter I was making but I’m sure you can have a go for £50.. (I can’t remember the thread size but the speaker spikes are like this): https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/4

Brings back memories of my 240 sprint. Nice one Mark fantastic car in a great colour.

Thanks Mark what a fantastic family we now have 👍🏻

FYI i just purchased a BOE air intake kit for my NA Evora I was charged £175 for postage as this includes not only delivery but customs charge so in conclusion if you can get a Uk based seller you’re going save £170 odd before you even get the item you purchase, in your case the side skirts

I made some out of dibond. I don’t know if that’s what you are looking for and without digging out the invoice I can’t remember exactly how much they cost but it was definitely a fraction of what the cost to buy. (here’s a bad pic with a silly splitter I made while I was at it)

Sweeeeeeet Stunning attention to detail, perfectly executed 👍

Thanks Mark and all involved 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

Just got mine, thanks guys

Just received mine from Hermes, Some really great Pictures Great Work Phil and Lummo

Thank you Mark and EVERYONE who keeps this brilliant show on the road. 20 yrs is a MLOC dynasty. Hats off to you all Will

Yes, thank you Mark and all the other Directors and enthusiasts who have developed and maintained the MLOC spirit over the last 20 years. Here's to the next 20 years (although I might have to upgrade to something with easier egress if I last that long!). H.

Happy 20 Years and big thanks to Mark H for everything. Ive been a member since 2007 and although don’t post much anymore am always grateful for the friends - and husband Ive met through MLOC and all the meets/events we have been a part of. Looking forward to more meets soon, although with a new mini car enthusiast on the way not sure how much longer I will fit in the Exige for!!

Thanks Mark for laying the foundations for what is a fantastic true enthusiast car club and for all your hard work over the last 20 years. 🏆🏆🏆

Thanks to Mark and all involved in the running of the club. I'm pretty new as a member, but have enjoyed the runs, the company and LITP. Thanks guys! Long may it continue 👍👏👏👏👏👏

Thank you Mark for providing a platform for us all to share our enthusiasm for all things Lotus and supporting Lotus in the Peak. Twenty years and still going strong, you're an absolute star, I honestly don't know how you do it! Phil

Yes, huge thank you Mark. Your work on this site brings so much enjoyment to so many, and all for free, and you never ask for anything in return. I take my hat off to you. Dean

Are the two open tickets mine and R5K’s then? Are there any spares?

wheels the same colour Satin Black, Calipers yellow with the Lotus and lines in Black, wheel bolts to match the wheels and Brake Disc's the same

May I wish you all a very merry New Year. Now the last Elise, Exige and Evora have been made does anyone know how many of each version inc cups have actually been made? I have an Elise cup FE and just wondered how many are zooming around? Cheers Rich 🍻

Yes that’s me Rich with the Pearl yellow, love the heritage green, that was the other colour I liked but hadn’t seen one in the flesh. Scott Walker mentioned they expected to be around 24 UK cup final editions but that was several months ago. That pic of the three at Central looks great. I had a black 220 so decided to go discreet with the yellow..!!

The guy I used was basically a metal fabrication specialist , so maybe you can find a similar person who can fabricate a simple light metal shape ? the skirts themselves just riveted to the edge of bodywork avoiding any wiring or cable runs I love my skirts but they do trap dirt and you must not step on them when getting in or out good luck with your search you’re in Rutland lovely roads I used have a small farm over Thorpe Satchville but live over other side of county now

Happy Christmas, hope you all have a wonderful Christmas and a great New year. See you in 2022. Best wishes, Luke

Happy Christmas and New Year to everyone lets hope we can all get back to a bit of normallity next Year.

Got an early Christmas pressie. Letter from the DVLA with confirmation of registration and an allocated number plate! V5 will follow - which I need to put the number plate I have for the car - LB11 STR. So I can drive it! If it wasn't in bits with me doing post-IVA changes and I'd remembered to change the insurance from and 'in build' policy to a 'you can drive it on the road' policy!

Merry Christmas Everyone and a Happy New Year Rich

(Hethel, UK – 22 December 2021) Today, Lotus commemorates the last of the Elise, Exige and Evora sports cars. The trio were photographed on site with many of the Lotus team who contributed to the design, engineering, assembly and sales of the cars. Between these three model lines and over the course of 26 years, a total of 51,738 cars will have come off the production line. Combined, they represent almost half of the total production of Lotus in its 73-year history. In addition, 9,715 sports cars were built for Lotus’ third-party clients, including GM and Tesla. From 1996 to 200

Merry Christmas MLOCers 🎅 And a Happy New Year 🥂

Merry Christmas and happy new year to everyone and their families and friends

Happy Christmas to Ray and all fellow MLOC members ☃️❄️🥳🎁.

Happy Christmas Ray and to all other owners too - hope you all get a decent break over the period!

Happy Christmas Ray. 🎄✨

Top work, that looks great

Afternoon all, Knocked up a front tow ring for the exige this weekend. I know these are readily available on line but I like to try my hand and keeps me out of trouble (and my wife says I’m tight). I wouldn’t want to lift the car off the ground with it but I’d have no issues using it for what it’s intended for. Also added the sun shade banner thingy which sets it off a treat and headlight decals. Happy for you guys to jump on the thread and drop your car mods updates on also (show us what you’ve been up to) 👍🏻 Hope this is posted in the right place.

Came across a comment that sums up the end of the race very well. “Can’t believe anyone who follows F1 really thinks the decision was fair. Its like a ref deciding to fight 13 rounds not twelve because the boxer winning on points looks worn out.”

Great News Jon! The Best Xmas Pressy ever Looks very nice I cant wait to see it on a Run Ray

Absolutely loving that colour. Great choice and look forward to seeing in the flesh once the finer weather comes. 👍🏻

It has been a quiet 3-4 months with the Evora, as I’ve been working on the house a fair bit. However after 5 months of deliberations I’ve finally got my wheels refurbished. I went for gloss anthracite, absolutely delighted with them - to my eyes they are more suited to my “lower black pack” than the diamond cut finish 👍🏻 I had them done by Nuneaton Alloys and Powder Coating and they were extremely good value. The quality of the finish is top drawer. They cure the powder at a nice low temp (180-200C) for just 15 mins so absolutely no risk to the integrity of the alloy👌🏻
