That is a real shame. Not sure what's going on at Lotus then, but it looks like quality control has, unfortunately, gone through the floor. I've had my Evora N/A Sports Racer from new and it'll be six years old next March. And even though I was a bit of a serial Lotus buyer for several (aka, lots of) years prior to my current Evora and Elise S (220) pairing, I haven't once felt like I needed to change either of them. They're both outstanding examples of Lotus at their best, so it really is saddening to hear horror stories like yours. Hope you manage to get your Lotus mojo back at some point.

I did the same full day course a few years back and Martin Donnelly was my instructor for the day. Great bloke with lots of really fun stories from the old days. Was good fun though and I learnt a fair bit, including the secrets of weight transfer to get that front-end to really bite! Ooooh, nice. And the demo lap by Martin was, ahem, shall we say, exciting!

"Flat" logos are, apparently, very trendy right now. Can't imagine why, but these 'ere marketing guys obviously think that joining the flat earth trendies indicates a progressive and modern company! Sadly, it just looks a bit "fifties" to me 🤨.

Order just gone in - thanks!

Hey, where did you get your plates made up Pete (number plates, that is - not dinner plates 🍴)? I need some new acrylic ones for the Evora but the bods who made up my last pair for the Elise (which do have that lovely Lotus logo on the right) have disappeared 😟. You can PM if it's not for general knowledge (don't want to get 'em into trouble 🚔).
