Knockhill Track Evening - 16th Sept - 5-7pm
Chaps and Chapesses, You may or may not be aware Andy and I have been doing some events for the past couple of years for McLaren Glasgow, including some track events. With them being part of the Parks group that now have the Lotus franchise, Parks Lotus are keen to come on board as well to introduce...

Re: Is it like riding a bike?
Even pressures, TBF. Never driven a car before or since that's so sensitive to tyre type and pressure - could be perfect geo, but a set of hard tyres and 30 odd PSI in them, the thing will feel lethal. IIRC, I ran my pressures as low as 22f 24r when I had mine - albeit on track tyres. Still want to ...

Re: Is it like riding a bike?
A few hours ago I picked up an s1, 10 years to the week since I sold my last one. I managed to get in and out easily. I managed to take the roof off easily. But I've forgotten how to drive it! :( I've only been out in it for 20 minutes and the roads were still slightly damp but I didn't feel confid...

Good shout - their responder treats it like a general enquiry, but clearly just signing up to a mailing list. Will be good to see how they engage.

Re: Type 131
Love Auto Express lazily using a Bahar render (cos obviously there's no images yet) but not actually saying that anywhere that I can see, so folks will start debating the looks of a years old dead concept again :) WRT the story? Seems a really odd niche, unless you subscribe to the Evora being the 9...

Re: Help.
If I was still up in Ayr, I'd have shot over, but I'm an hour further south now. It's literally two bolts to get the damper off and as Ali says, they are adjustable platforms, so just clean the threads and wind the collars off (having measured reasonably accurately, how far they are threaded on, to ...

Re: Knockhill track sessions
I think it's been a looong time since the notorious Hot Hatch events. Not got personal experience of the clientele at the open events in recent years, but Knockhill like running a fairly tight ship (speaking from an organisers POV). As you say, maybe a bit of a lottery on who's in that session and n...

Re: Leven car company Administration
Interesting how many people think Ayr is the arse end of nowhere... (speaking as someone actually living in the arse end of nowhere) I'm sure Lotus would prefer a central site, but I think you'll probably find it a beggars/choosers situation with a Parks relationship and there's plenty space at the ...

Re: New Member Anstruther
Not the best time to buy, but at least you can give it a good clean and dig through it to get to know the car first. Enjoy when you get the chance.

Re: Still not done Stelvio
The thing about Stelvio being a destination for Elises was more about it being a torture test for the brakes on the way down in the original development of the car, rather than it being a belting driving road, no? Certainly, the only reasons I'd consider it would be as a destination to a continental...

Re: Lotus Mode -E10 Compatible?
Looking at what I think would be bespoke to the S1/Rover S2 - fuel lines between pump and fuel rail? No issues there - hose won't be problematic. Fuel pump? Is that non MGF - not sure why it would be other than space or location, but don't know. The only thing is the tank and, more importantly, the ...

Re: Are track days all you do in your Lotus then?
Yer an erse John, but you know that :thumbsup IMO, we've got a more fundamental issue. What Ali says is bob-on for starters. When we were doing road runs regularly, it was a different time - and remember, most people aren't running about in circa 120-150bhp Elises any more - which you could leather ...
