The styling of this car keeps growing on me more and more over time. Sweet! Not easy to create the combination of great styling, very small, good handling and pretty generous

I took the Lotus out this morning for a drive - the first one in 3-4 months due to a variety of maladies (me, not the car) and I remembered why 3 of our 6 cars have soft tops. It's cool, crisp and beautiful at the moment, so I came home to pick up Mrs C a...

Back into a soft top after a 10yr break, been enjoying it full time. Deep down inside I am more of a motorcycle person but cabs offer 90% of the fun with 1% of the risks. I do miss bikes on occasion but give me a cab over a tin roof any day of the year!

I have been doing a drive around our county (desert, mountains) at least once a year in the Lotus(es) since about 2000

Wow what a drive!
