Just joined. Was on the old Lotus forum so some may have seen my "74 Elite. Years in the making and modifying. I only modified things that were in need of fixing as the short comings of this car make it not desirable over here in the states. (no one wants to work on them)
Have followed F1 racing since 1963 when Jimmy Clark won the title in a 25. Never looked back and Lotus has been my favorite flavor since. I'm also a Ford guy and many of the fastest Lotus's were Ford powered and some of the coolest cars ever built!
You can view my car and the story of the modifications that I did and why. No offence intended to anyone but it needed a number of changes that Colin felt were ok but IMHO were almost the death of the company. Check it out if you like. Love Lotus cars!
