Gremlins, fit and finish stuff, things randomly coming loose or falling off, 3 mo+ wait on parts, etc... you know, typical brittish car stuff. They are deff. a purists car. Drives alot like an NSX, but even smaller, more harsh and less practical. Major fun weekend or track car, though.

 

yeah i was wondering what about the finish/interior/exterior makes it particularly british.. i do understand the wait on parts bit.

ive admired lotus' for a LONG time... never actually been in one though

 

I got the bug to go test drive one a while back. It was fun, but just didn't wow me like I thought it would (of course a supercharged one would be an entirely differnt story). Hard as hell to get in and out of, too; so low and small. If it was just a little bigger, more comfortable and without the Brittish car issues, it'd be a great all around car... wait, well, then it'd be an NSX.

 

<== Has wanted a Lotus since I was 14 1/2. Esprit V-8 back then. I'm looking into this as soon as I quit messing around and get a job.

 

Little foam seals working their way out in the interior, car not wanting to start on occasion - those set of quarks.

 

damn those brits. still pissed off about the war.... talk about passive aggressive revenge.

 

Blame the quirks on Lucas.

Glad to see the local guys getting together. Wish I could have made it.
