Looking for Lotus advice

Sounds like an offence code at a Savile trial

I remember picking mine up on a thursday night when I bought it. Drove into work on the friday morning and parked up in the car park but unfortunately right in front of a packed smoking shelter.
Then had to clamber out of it on all fours as I hadn't learned the technique
I spent the rest of that day googling "How do you get out of an elise" and fortunately there were several useful threads with pictures on SELOC

Colin, any chance we could pop out for a quick blast if you're down at Rays one Saturday?
I keep coming back to these as my next move, and seeing yours last Saturday...

Get one of these and a cheap beater
Recorded this clip of the Larini but it doesnt really do it justice I'm afraid

Thanks for that video! I went out this afternoon for a little drive, then got in my missus car and it felt like climbing into a comfy bed. Elise has no comfortable gene in them. I couldn't put up with one as a daily.

From the second Chesh wrote his Elise write up I knew I was in trouble. So I've now joined the Lotus ranks and will be collecting my new car next Saturday. As much as the initial plan had been to also buy an Elise I kind of got distracted in the dealership by something else and will be getting behind the wheel of an Evora S. I think it's safe to say I went through exactly the same grin factor experience though, bonkersly good fun!
