Pfft, that’s not fast

Admittedly no not as fast as your not road legal race car would be....in the hands of a proper racing driver

Pfft there's 125cc Gambo's faster than you Foz

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

[Foz]

I know

With the BHP per ton you have, I bet yer nan could get a lap time like that. Pootle round the corners, shoot down the straights

Prices for cars should start to fall slightly over the year, shirley? Private market opening up, end of the furlough, people able to spend on holidays/pubs/hospitality again...

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!

You should buy it Scott. Be lighter and more raw than your modern, softy ClubRacer

Isn’t that the Loltus ethos?

Add lightness


Add air con?

It's fine, air doesn't weigh much.
