First Elise.........first Lotus

Post by T8 YEA » Fri May 16, 2014 9:10 pm

Hi folks,

bought my first Elise last week, an Azure blue S1. A bit different from my usual jap turbo inspired wagon that's for sure but so far enjoying every minute of it.
Thought I had better say hello since you all sound like a friendly bunch.

So hello folks.

Cheers Alyn
Elise S1

Hi Alyn, welcome to Scottish_Elises and pleased to see that you have bought an S1 as they are becoming less frequent on here nowadays.

S1? The best variant. Azure? One of the best colours. Welcome !

Cheers for the warm welcome folks.

To answer a few questions;
I am based in Perth.
Breakfast on the 1st? Am I being hit on already? haha. Afraid not, I work offshore and won't be back till mid June.

Some of you may know the car, I bought it from a chap named Paul Gibson (I think he mentioned your name tut?) He was selling the S1 to make room in the garage for his restored Elan. Really nice guy and cracking garage set up too!

You will not go wrong there Alyn, Paul looks after his cars.

Your car is the twin of my first two Elises, N1 TUT.

Alyn
I aspire to the Gibson Garage (and one or two of the things in it!)

I think we'll soon need an S1 owners sub-forum, so us oldies can talk about auto-jumble, red clutch hoses, and Koni dampers, with complete impunity :-)
