Pfft there's 125cc Gambo's faster than you Foz ;) :lol:

ETA Gambo appears to be a Welsh only word for Cart in case it doesn't translate :lol:

At least thats my hope. Car prices are nuts at the moment.
Elise going out of production - all Final Edition cars sold out. EV on the horizon. Dont be so sure.
I meant the car market generally - never really any concern over Lotus prices, they've always been solid.

Minor update

Picked up a set of Yokohama AO52's on Saturday - need to get those fitted this week. Also emailed the insurance last week to check about fitting the dampers. "No charge - let me know when youve fitted them" outstanding service again from Manning UK.

Packaged the dampers up yesterday so ill get them sent to Bilstein this week for the refurb.

Had a run out on saturday night with the old one!

Isn’t that the Loltus ethos?
