 congrats, very nice!

[Bazza 907]

Very very nice.

 

Can I see some dirt inside that non standard rear box?

[Exploded]

Congrats, a real Elise! Fantastic!

[Bibs]

Oh, it's got a Janspeed exhaust which sounds lovely.

 

I'll clean my orignal Koni's and factory recommended Yoko C-Drive tyres for you Bazza

Not that I'm a one for detail but they originally came with Pirelli Cinturato PZero's   

[Bibs]

The factory changed their recommended tyre to the C-Drive shortly afterwards... keep up at the back!

I 'kin love Elise's...... S1's seem to be dating much better than S2's. The K Series is a perfect engine for them too.

 

Beautiful colour too.

 

It's a 'yes' from me.

 

Group hug anyone?

[Mark Blanchard]

Cracking shots Bibs and lovely looking car.

[Bibs]

Ta. Dug out the nifty fifty for some prime shots rather than the normal lens. I don't use it often enough

[gospeedv8]

I really like your style, bibs.

Looks like my S1 ...    

[Bibs]

Check your garage

[Advantage]

Ruby is a good colour on those. No one can be upset at being carved up by such a pretty thing. 

 

The car, I mean.

W332 WAD - Works As Designed! Looks great, have a lot of fun.

[Bibs]

B18TUS is going back on there, I've the paperwork here all signed and ready to go

[esprit s2]

Very nice indeed! Will look good with your new house.

[hyteck9]

Congrats Bibs,  very nice

[DanR]

Gorgeous. Great colour too. I like how JT got elements of the 246 Dino (one of my all time favourites) into his design of the first series.

[GavinT]

Good to see you back behind the wheel of a Lotus. Enjoy !!.

[Bibs]

Bibtus is back after a 7 year abscene!! Yay!!

 

Thanks to Simon and Malcolm for looking after it for me

 

[Bazza 907]

Nice plate

Are you enjoying the car?

How does it compare to driving the other lotus cars you've driven?

[Bibs]

I've done almost a couple of thousand miles in it so far, loving it. It's a very raw experience and fun for it but very, very easy to just jump in and drive nowhere. 

 

It's just back from 3 new wheel bearings and a full geo done by Lipscomb. That and the new tyres/suspension have made it very grippy, removed most of the understeer and stuck the back down nicely now too. 

[Simon350S]

That's awesome

Glad to see it proud of place!
