We went for a run on Saturday (pretty pics inside)

But we both ended up feeling a bit sick because the speeds and g-forces the car can pull are just extraordinary. On the A70 down through Lugar and Muirkirk the car felt fantastic, a good bit more composed than the S2000 ever felt. The quick direction changes right before Abington were simply astounding.

But then we got to Wanlockhead (1531ft above sea level!) we both felt a bit green around the gills. The gut wrenching corner speeds had taken their toll. We stopped at Leadhills to give our heads a rest from the screaming engine in the back for a while (sound proofing, my arse), and took some more pics. I took it much easier on the way back.

Oh, and if anyone else fancies taking the same road (B797 I think) watch out for sheep!

The car still doesn't have a front grille yet, as Lotus are still unable to source them.

Nice piccies.

Rear LED lights? I thought that was only added for the new 'R' and 'S' . . . not the 111R. Mine disnae have them. Did you get them fitted after you bought it?

06 model year onwards AFAIK. That would cover cars still badged 111R, before the re-branding around the S launch.

It's a Dec 05 car, so I think the car was born just at the right time to have them fitted.
