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.

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.

Blame the quirks on Lucas.

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