More please folks?

I'm trying to compile a comprehensive list here and there are loads that are missing I'm sure. Please make an effort to add your local dealer/independent to the list, thanks :D

did you get Peter ( the total misogynist plonker ) Smith , Haton nr Derby

The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself.

Haven't looked at google maps interface, but ms maps are fairly easy. the code to display a simple map is:

<head>

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://dev.virtualearth.net/mapcontrol/mapcontrol.ashx?v=6"></script>

<script type="text/javascript">

var map = null;

function GetMap(){

map = new VEMap('myMap');

map.LoadMap();

}

</script>

</head>

<body onload="GetMap();">

<div id='myMap' style="position:relative; width:400px; height:400px;"></div>

</body>

More details at http://dev.live.com/virtualearth/sdk/

Silver Star Lotus

3905 Auto Mall Drive

Thousand Oaks, CA 91362

(805) 371-5400

I believe the Lotus mechanic there is named "Richie" or "Rich".

He was recommended by Harry Appleby at Viking Motorsports. Richie said he has the Tech 1 scan tool with all the cartridges.

Lotus of Calabasas / Lamborghini of Calabasas

23833 Ventura Blvd.

Calabasas

(818) 225-9915

This is a new dealer that just opened in Nov. 2007. I met with the mechanic here and he said they can work on Esprits / Elans (and of course Elise/Exiges), but he said that they lacked many of the "special Lotus tools", including the Tech 1 for the Esprit...that Lotus could not provide them with one since they were obsolete.

I didn't notice these yet:

Chris Foulds Huddersfied

Chris Neil Northwich

Fiberglass Services somewhere in West Sussex

Run by Miles Wilkins Lotus Guru extrodinaire & author of various Lotus books - A real character.

Originally was at Charlton Sawmills near Goodwood - There used to be 10's of thousands of pounds of stuff just lying about and he always had some original Elites (I mean the original!) in his workshop - fantastic place!
