Redalex 4 Posted April 20, 2014 Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 (edited) Time for a formal introduction. I've been lurking a while after meeting Bibs at a car show a couple of years ago... So, I'm Alex. Started with an S1 111S in nautilus. Stunning car. became an unreliable P.o.S. and had to go. Instant regret Waited a few months, and picked up a S2 135 sport from Peter Smiths. Ultra-reliable. Two and a half years of motoring joy. Loved that car. Decided it was time to change. To this: What a car... just epic. fun at every speed, positive reactions from everyone, supercharger whine is addictive. It's a Launch Spec, no. 16. It was hand built by Lotus Motorsport (the 1st 25 were all built that way) and has a few choice upgrades (GT4 back box, twin oil coolers, some other stuff I don't fully understand) and is apparently "quicker than normal". Sadly, it's about to be parked up for until August whilst I work abroad at some football thing. This year it won't do many miles, but there's no way I'm selling it! Howdy all...
