Arregueti

I guess it depends to what you compare the cost. It fills the wall nicely and is cheaper than a painting or glass-framing a fancy poster.

I am not sure whether you are aware of this, but it looks like soon there will be no more Lotus on the catalogue. I thought some of you might be interested to read this:

What a picture. That olive green looks amazing.

I agree. And it just adds to the charm of the car, having some history. It is the clutch you may be worried about, though.

That is a print screen from the configurator that was available back in the day. I know because I used it. To the OP: Congratulations. My car was also owned by Lotus, also a press car (as I found out later with pictures showing the tires being used similarly as yours above) and its UK registration number was AU61CEX (which funny enough can be read in more than one way ), so they must have been next to each other in the line. Enjoy the car.

It does look impressive. Thanks for posting!

You are all over the press these days. Interviewed by Soup, photographic report by Absolute Lotus... You are a rising star! What is next? The Pirelli calendar?

Generally, all cars are getting too big for my liking. That is probably why many BMW enthusiasts are choosing the M2 over the M3 (sorry, M4) these days. I have also being looking for a compact rwd coupé with the ability to seat 4 and the M2 is the only one I could find.

You made them lose 32,000 euros in depreciation in two weeks, too. I would still need at least two like mine to pay for it.

Just willing to express my support, too, @CocoPops. First things, first. Wishing you and your wife all the best. Fingers crossed for you.

I think I would keep the Elise, too.

I understand (and hope) he is not alone within the department but he does make a difference and, as others have stated, his personal involvement when I had issues with the car is probably the main reason why I kept faith in the car and Lotus.

+1 to the suggestion above. It keeps getting better. The start of this last episode was brilliant and I almost felt I was removing the rear axle of the RR myself. Without the sweating and swearing. Oh, I would keep the “Pi rally” sticker on the van.

Sorry to hear about your family news, Cocopops. I would also go for a lightly used S2 SC or S3 rather than a new one. Fingers crossed things will turn out well for your family.
