New Toy has Arrived!!
Woo Hoo! I picked up the Lotus on Wednesday.. not necessarily the best convertible weather, but it has a TOP!! Almost a luxury car by comparison.
(Photo by Treo 650)
With 4 miles on the clock, I headed straight for 85 north in pouring rain and 600 miles later arrived in VA to visit to folks... observing all break-in instructions along the way...
(Professional driver on closed course)
Today the top comes off and I am looking forward to some summer mountain runs!! |

Very nice! I saw a yellow one the other day as it wizzed by on the freeway. I was wishing I could get a closer look...

Do British cars leak fluids like British replicas?

Hi Chill,
Now you need to find some good roads with some serious bends to get the most out of your new toy. On a good twisting road, there won't be much than can get anywhere near you, regardless of power. The Elise pretty much writes the rule book as far as handling is concerned.
Enjoy.
Paul

GREAT article on in the Lotus E. in the latest issue of GrassrootsMotorsports mag. They LOVED it-what a car!
Interesting that the Cobra Guys are going to smaller, more nimble cars.

A better picture...
I'm looking forward to some mountain roads, so far it's just fun to take an exit ramp without using the brakes... point and shoot..... |

..and no it doesn't seem to leak... at least not underneath. Here's the underside showing the full-length undertray and NACA ducts under the engine...

Can you say Toyota motor.
Great package - light - fast - reliable and as Car and Driver said - Yellow ones look like a fishing lure

Bud it's probably as fast as your Cobra and will certianly out brake and out corner it. They are pretty neat cars.

OK Chill – you are banned from any ACC adventure that leaves a road beginning with I. You can come to the drag strip, and you may keep your Hooters explore the cleavage card, barbeque is still on, but the rest is off limits. Now …. When do I go for a ride with you?
