Scottish Elises

Hello folks.

Just thought i'd say a hello!

Not a Lotus owner as yet, but hopefully that will change soon. Owned a variety of performance cars over my many years . Currently have an FD2 Type R, that incidently is up for sale, to hopefully purchase a lotus.
I am yet to make a decision on exactly what i want, however the Exige 260 Cup is winning at the moment, but, and a big but, the Cost? Been picking Kenny's brains on here, and will need to get some research done.
The car will be basically a weekend toy, trackdays and the odd B road run. I am liking the new SC elise also, so another potential. As usual it may well come down to cost, but i need to part company with the Honda first, before i can move on.

Cheers
Paul

You should get plenty of good info and advice here. And we have a tame Lotus salesman ( Brandon) an ex Lotus salesman who now works for Lotus (Graemelotus) and a mix of past and present owners with a wealth of knowledge, experience and opinions

New sc if you can afford it. Welcome

Nice couple of cars to choose from, especially for your first Lotus.

Not much to be found and what's left is pickled.

Welcome mate

Welcome to S_E Paul, you made a good choice with Kenny, even though he is only 75% of the man he was.

ps:- helps if you include your location in your nickname details.

Currently around 9.5% but targeting 25% in the near future

Paul is one of the old-skool TRS mob, I vaguely remember previous attempts to convince him of the merits that come with Lotus ownership, guess he has now seen the light.

Another vote for the SC Elise.

Tough choice. If it were me I'd go for he convertible. Had an Exige, not a 260 but I find the Elise much more fun.

Ta much for the welcomes guys.

Got so much to think about here, and the more i read, the more ideas flash past me. Suppose i can throw, Elise/Vtec into the fold as well

Stick an add up in the classifieds section for your Civic

Happy Lotus shopping!
