Welcome back from another defector! Well done, I miss my Lotus and think it'll possibly not be too long before I have another, Porsche is far too civilised :oops:

Was browsing Lotus for sale yesterday the 20th anniversaries in yellow or blue looked ace :thumbsup
Mind you so did the S2 190 Honda SC but I don't need a SC

In a similar boat at moment, mine is proving expensive to keep running and not quite the same fun factor, just working on when it is worth enough to jump back into the Lotus I want for no extra money, Porsche is a bit in demand so the Lotus pot is increasing therefore so can the Lotus I want and need :)

20th anniversary don't match the money pot, but the pot passed my previous 111s equivalent a while back, now around earlyish SC or early Evora or maybe a very mint, perfect, one of a kind S1 with cash to spare from our resident wheeler dealer :wink:

always had a Boxster on my bucket list. Test drove a couple with view to buying but didn't. Based on comments on here (although we are mainly biased) I won't bother .

Welcome back!

How are you finding the 20th anniversary? I have one in classic silver supplied new from Murrays. I was there today having a 2bular exhaust fitted.

MarkT exactly that. The standard exhaust lets the car down big style IMO, having had a couple of hundred miles under the 2bular its the best purchase I have made for a car, best £500 you could spend!!!

with regards handling the 20th benefits from the bilstein sports dampers, stiffer but a much better outcome again IMO over the standard elise dampers. I feel the 220 bhp is a sweet spot, love mine!!

did you notice the sport button? sharpens the throttle response, have it on all the time now
