2005 Lotus Elise on 2040-cars
Smith River, California, United States
More infos regarding my cat at: euna.shey@mail-on.us . Selling my 2005 Lotus Elise, Saffron Yellow, Touring Package, original owner, bought new September 2004 from Fox
Valley Motors in Illinios, one of the first in the US (has antenna block off plug in trunk lid, a remnant of
Eurospec models, later cars do not have this) 56,420 mostly highway miles. It's been to most of the states and
Canada, a couple of track days, a few autocross days, car shows, scenic drives, and half a dozen LOG's (Lotus
Owners Gatherings). New tires (less than 2500 miles) Continental ControlContact Sport (which are not as sticky as
the original Yokohamas but much quieter and less harsh), aluminum radiator, oil coolers with oil line service, body
color center shifter cover with shift lever service, yellow painted calipers. Most service done by Fox Valley Lotus
in IL, Sports and Specialist Lotus in Princeton NJ, and San Francisco Lotus in CA. Touring package includes power
windows, power door locks, remote locking (with two fobs), alarm, leather with cloth seats, and slightly more
carpet. Blaupunkt AM/FM CD stereo. Does NOT include hard top. I regularly get 30-35 MPG. This is my fourth Lotus
and I'm selling it after 11+ years to try a different Lotus model. It is a well cared for example driven by a
meticulous female owner. I have the original Monroney window sticker and most of the service records (moved twice
in the last 11 years, so some may have been misplaced)
That's about all I can think to say. A great car, you will not be disappointed.

Recap: 2013 Australian Formula One Grand Prix is all about the rubber [w/spoilers]
Sun, 17 Mar 2013A pre-season full of talking points was swapped for a brand-new set of talking points after the running of the opening grand prix of the 2013 Formula One season. The consistency of the regulations from last year to this year and the triplicate dominance of Infiniti Red Bull Racing meant that no one would have been that surprised if the relative order of things remained the same. But teams found so many ways to switch things up that, in typical pre-season fashion, no one was ready to make any bets on in-season performance, and a couple of surprising players suffered the ignominy of getting it really wrong: McLaren knew it was in trouble from the very first test, while Williams drivers applauded their car as the best in years, only to have Pastor Maldonado call it "undriveable" on the very first day of practice in Melbourne.
And then there were those Pirellis, the Italian company talking up the fact that its super soft tires would only go off so quickly that it would force teams to pit at least twice during the race.
Even then, no one could have seen the first round of pit stops beginning on Lap 5.
Race Recap: 2013 German Grand Prix is old beginnings, new endings [spoilers]
Mon, 08 Jul 2013Just like at Silverstone last weekend, the German Formula One Grand Prix started with Lewis Hamilton putting his Mercedes-AMG Petronas on pole. The only thing missing at the pointy end of the grid was his teammate Nico Rosberg, who lined up beside him in England but back in 11th in Germany because of a team error in qualifying. So instead it was Vettel in the first Infiniti Red Bull in second, his teammate Mark Webber in third, the Lotus duo of Kimi Räikkönen and Romain Grosjean.
Again, just like at Silverstone - and Canada - Daniel Ricciardo used his magic beans to impress with the Toro Rosso, lining up in sixth, followed by Felipe Massa in the first Ferrari, Fernando Alonso in the second. Jenson Button in the McLaren, Nico Hülkenberg finished up the top ten.
When the lights went green, it didn't take long for the race to become a black-and-blue affair...
Lotus reveals new LMP1 at Le Mans
Fri, 13 Jun 2014Lotus is at Le Mans this week where it has unveiled its new LMP1. Only it's not racing at Le Mans. And it's not really a Lotus, either.
The prototype belongs to an independent German team that ran a Lotus chassis in the LMP2 category last year, but was granted license by the FIA and ACO to step up to the top-tier LMP1 category to dice it with the front-running hybrids from Audi, Porsche and Toyota this year. Unfortunately, the team - which licenses the Lotus name from the automaker, much as the F1 team does - faced some setbacks. Not the least of those delays resulted from a mid-stream switch in engine suppliers from the Audi-sourced, naturally aspirated V8 it was originally set to use to a new turbocharged V6 from Advanced Engine Research.
As a result it wasn't ready for the Silverstone race that kicked off this season's World Endurance Championship in April. Nor was it ready for the second round at Spa in May or not for the headline event this weekend at Le Mans, but it aims to be on the track at the next round in Austin.
