My roof leaks a bit but then it is a bit buggered. Still bugger all to leak on so it don't really matter.

I didn't go out with the intention of getting a S160 but can confirm they are fun. :twisted

A standard S1 with a few tweaks though isn't that far behind anyway and are a bit cheaper than the 'special' ones.

Have a look at a few and try and drive a couple first so you can see how they go.

Cheers

Alan

Er, I think the listing at number 19 was for "Lotus Elise". The fact that only the data for an S1 was quoted is neither here nor there (see also E-Type, VX220 entries). Give me strength... :roll

Hi Graeme, this is all firmly tongue in cheek :D you know we S1 owners like to have a little dig at you sharp edged types and this is NYLOC we'll have no trouble here :police

Can't have you lumped with the VX's with the wrong sized wheels and heavy engines now can we ;) you can come in the S1 entry :P

Matt had to say that, otherwise I'd have reminded him about the last Elvington airfield day we did when he couldn't keep up with me in the twisties :naughty

S1 111s - next question 8) - really its the best variant by some margin IMHO, chuck on LSS or Nitrons and its a trackday wizard :up

:bravo I agree, I tried several types but liked the 111S the best - the engine and gearbox combo work very well together.
