thought of owning one has been simmering but true, pretty woman last nite was the catalyst! at least got the green light from the missus! (she wasnt happy with the dressing up as 'julia roberts' suggestion tho, nearly got a slap) but that's besides the point.

i can now afford one when i sell my type r and have been scourging the car mags for one the past few months. will probably start looking for one now.

me in a lotus..... must not be caught kerb crawling......

thanks for the pointers everyone

Ask Simon (webmaster) about owning one. He has been there, had a donut, got the T-shirt, had a donut etc.

There is a yahoo group called 'UKLotusEsprit' if you join that they will help you out, I'm on the list (it was between it and the RX7 for my current car, and I've stayed on the list despite going for the other option) and the guys on it know their stuff.
