Phoenix Nights Posted April 2, 2008 Posted April 2, 2008 After several long months of vacillating and worrying about Lotus's being costly to insure and sometimes unreliable etc etc etc, I have finally done it! This afternoon I put a deposit down on an Elise S2 111S after a highly entertaining test drive on a quality B road in Staffordshire. Insurance sorted (ouch says the wallet) so now I am simply waiting for the seller to complete the 4-year B service with Lotus, and then....she's all mine. This time next week I'll be picking it up - something of a dream come true. It's a May 2004 model, yellow with black wheels and hard top. I'm based in Leicestershire and look forward to getting involved with MLOC. Cheers!

You will absolutely love it and since the weather's now getting better, you've picked the perfect time to buy. And, welcome to MLOC. Cheers, Eric

JonS Posted April 3, 2008 Posted April 3, 2008 Welcome to MLOC & Lotus Ownership. I think a few people have said i n the past, but this club has certainly enabled me to enjoy the car (& brand) a whole lot more than I would of known. Hope to see you at meets/runs soon. Lets see some pics, salavating at the yellow/black combi
Phoenix Nights Posted April 3, 2008 Author Posted April 3, 2008 Many thanks for the warm welcome, folks! I'll be sure to post some pics up when I receive the wee beastie. Six days and counting... I expect I'll be driving it as if it were made of china at first, lol. I saw a blue Elise S2 in central Leicester on Tuesday - if that was anyone here, hello! I've yet to see a white one locally, but will certainly be keeping my eyes peeled from here on. Cheers, Steve
Phoenix Nights Posted April 3, 2008 Author Posted April 3, 2008 Dont forget your FREE Sticker........... Sticker has been requested, and will be gratefully displayed on my car as and when. Where do you normally put them?

Where do you normally put them? Uh oh! Wait for the guaranteed onslaught of discussion on positioning of the sticker Mine is on the rear window behind the drivers seat. I believe they were designed to go centrally on the rear window though. (I put mine to one side because of when I have my camera rearward facing )
Larzzus Posted April 3, 2008 Posted April 3, 2008 Welcome. I've only had mine since Saturday and its great! That's all I can say. Stu
