Scottish Elises

Simon - not sure if you've seen this white one for sale: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Lotus-Evora-3-5-VVT-i-V6-2-2/361660101269?_trksid=p2141725.c100338.m3726&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20150313114020%26meid%3D0a909269a2954f8a82f888001b08c3cd%26pid%3D100338%26rk%3D13%26rk...

If it's anything like my experience with them for cracking in render you'd be as well not wasting your time and getting it fixed yourself! If it's just surface cracks they'll probably class it as a cosmetic problem and not their responsibility. The cracks I made a claim for were measured in cm so mu...

Did the batmobile survive the course intact?

I suspect Tony's S will be priced a little more than the £30k I'm looking at. Campbell, I would say it was good to see you too but you were wearing green tights so I kind of wish I hadn't now :mrgreen: I didn't actually make it to the car club area yesterday. Got there too late (partly after sitting...

I live just a few miles west of Dundee and have a red 2010 NA with the 2bular headers and lotus sports exhaust. More than happy to take you for a test drive and let you have a full nosey around, though it is the +0 model, which should not matter to you as it's not for sale and you want the +2 anywa...

Should be along to the speed fest so might see some of you there.

I am in Aberdeen. Happy to give you a run if you are ever up here or if you are at RDSF on Sunday.

Cheers. Not sure if I'll be there on Sunday, I'll either post here or PM if I am though.

Ours have spanned age 7 to 11 during my ownership, no probs.

And I put my 5 yo nephew behind the pax seat at the weekend, in his Recaro Young Sport seat.

They get a great view forwards as the rear bench is quite elevated.

Hi Ali, how's it going with you? And how's your dad getting on? I managed to get the eldest in the back of the 993 ok by buying just the right car seat along with a longer seatbelt and I'm hoping it'll fit in an Evora too. There was no hope of getting the rear-facing baby seat in the back but he's a...

I'm just outside Monikie now Ross. Got 2 kids now, a 5.5 year old and a very nearly 1 year old. I didn't see the 993 out and about much either :p Truth be told I never got it the same way as I did with the Elise and the result was I didn't drive it that much. The last year of ownership I did <500 mi...

It's not that I don't like it I just don't particularly want another blue Lotus having had one for so long!

I'll be looking at an early one so around the 30k mark and has to be a +2 so I can take the kids in it.

I know Campbell's is for sale but if I go for one it probably won't be blue.

Haven't been involved in the lotus world for a few years but I sold my 993 earlier in the year and now thinking about a possible Evora purchase. Is there anyone with one anywhere near Dundee who would let me have a nose about theirs and maybe take me out for a quick spin as I've never actually sat i...

Also gloating but at the same time I know of a company that was hit by it last week. Luckily they spotted it early and were able to remove it and restore from backups but it is a genuine threat not to be taken lightly if you have any files you are precious about!
