Allan, Breezers and the Scissor sisters go hand in hand by the way

Did your coolant/air bleed technique work in the end btw??

I'm eating a feta cheese salad. Any idea what the white things are that aren't pieces of cheese?

I dropped the car off on Monday for a heater blower replacement under warranty. A friend was with me and we spent just under 2hrs speaking to Graeme and Roger going over the AMs in the showroom. Plenty time given to us. I also spent some time speaking to Bill Young discussing the heater blowers.... water build up in the unit apparently.
Anyway, on the Lotus front, we all know the Esprit has been delayed till 2009 however, watch and wait for something sooner from Lotus with various configurations and it's not the Circuit Car!

Michael,

I am truly sorry if I've offended you or anyone else - no offense was intended, but sometimes we write things thinking one thing and people read them thinking another - I am just as guilty of that as anyone.

I've re-read your posting, and even allowing for some late night beer goggles, I still cannot really see where I misinterpreted your comments directed at car salesman, and Graeme in particular, and also your insinuation that somehow Paul was on "their side". Perhaps a liberal dose of smileys and inverted comma's might have made it better?

Anyway, it's all water under the bridge as far as I'm concerned.

Cheers,
Robin

The circuit car will be out early next year and in early 2008 there will be the 2+2 that some say will be based on the VVA architecture but may end up just being another version of the Elise chassis with the sills hacked down again.

Surprised nobody mentioned the fact that the Stelvio guys bumped into Lotus guys on their way home in the circuit car. There's photos somewhere on seloc.

Iain Watt mentioned this at the last borders run. Need to look up the pics.

That looks fantastic

- much better that previous pics I have seen. Really hope Lotus does well with it. I reckon it they need to price it sensibly though to avoid competing head on with Radical.

CC was chasing Lucs?! s/c cup.

Luc told us how it happened when he came in after the crash...

CC picked up after La Source, Eau Rouge, Kemmel Straight, Les Combes (L-R-L)... and then he could see the CC go off as he was on the straight to Bruxelles/Rivage 1.

I'd say "Rather smacked" is a good (but slightly underquoted) way to describe it...

Looks fab.
Also interested in the 2+2

Post by ed » Fri Nov 03, 2006 11:02 am

i fear it will be £35k plus knowing lotus......

Post by **simon** » Fri Nov 03, 2006 11:40 am

Rumour on seloc is the basic non-supercharged car will be around £25k and more like £35k IIRC for the 240bhp version.

Gulp. Doesn't do much for me in the looks department.

Oh well.
