Hi

I've just purchased a 2012 (MY11) 1.6 Elise. It's my first Lotus however I have previously owned a VX220!

I don't collect the car until next weekend and I'm pretty excited about picking it up, already got a 2Bular exhaust on order

Are there any other forums on here apart from the 'non-members chat'?

I plan to come along to the Buckles meets and fancy the Lotus meet in the Peak in July

Welcome Tom :wavey

While we're not a busy forum, we do have a good number of forums only available to members - social meetings and such.

Do come along to the Buckles - ask for me and I'll introduce you around. No obligation to join, see what we're about. We kick tyres if the weather's not terrible and then there's an informal meeting inside afterwards where you can find out more and see what's going on.

Thanks for the warm welcome! I picked up the car on Saturday, got the train from Wakefield to Durham so had a decent drive back down.

She's currently at Fould's Lotus in Huddersfield having a 2Bular exhaust fitted, 4x new Yoko tyres and a geometry. Can't wait until tomorrow to get back in it.

Fingers crossed I'll be at the Buckles meet next week (weather dependent)!


P.S - How do I add photos?
