I work at the airport, you may sometimes see my black Elise in the control tower car park when you are flying out of Glasgow.
I have seen your Elise. Looks great

Isn't there a blue one that resides there occasionally too? Typical, I've seen more Lotii when I'm driving my plane than I have in my car

Once had a '2006 Lotus Europa - bit more power version' but it leaked real bad!
I'm the unluckiest guy in world when it comes to cars, the last 12months being proof of that!! Why couldn't I just love uncomplicated things instead........................?

Are you a pilot by any chance

Hopefully see you around Paisley soon then. Did I read that your Lotus is injured at the moment?
Yea, I fly planes for a living. Pays the bills, and for the car. Never really fancied the stereotypical Porsche so here I am, Lotus owner

Distinct lack of caravans, transits and degs in background but pics look like they could be at MMC?
10 points to Shooomer! Took these on the day we test drove it (hence why it's parked a taxi distance from the kerb!

)

Hi 666
I've seen a Europa round about my girlfriend's place in the Cleveden area once or twice...was that you?
Thought it was a dark blue at the time... but it was a while ago...and it was at night..so may be mistaken.

Wasn't me, mate. I've not had much chance to get around and about in it yet. Hopefully get some miles under my belt soon. Can't wait to find out exactly what the Europa can do

Funnily enough, I am.

This a common problem? Passenger foot well gets a bit wet from time to time. I'm assured it's fixed now, and should get it back tomorrow. A guy from Lotus came up to MMC to have a go at fixing it so fingers crossed he's fixed it. Enjoyed driving the Elises MMC lent me whilst mine was away though.

Was speaking to Graeme at MMC and he mentioned that Lotus were up to look at a Europa. My Elise is back in again on Friday for the leaky boot!
Hope you're enjoying the car now!
