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.

The Stig bungees a Lotus F1 car in Durban

Mon, 18 Aug 2014

Remember a couple of months ago when a mischievous Stig broke into the Lotus racing headquarters in Enstone and made off with an F1 car? Well, now we know where he went with it.
In this humorous clip from Top Gear, the tamed racing driver in the white suit disembarks with Pastor Maldonado's Lotus-Renault E22 (not the E21 he took from the team's headquarters, eagle-eye viewers might notice) in Durban, South Africa, and takes it to Moses Mabhida Stadium for the Top Gear Festival. After having some fun on a dirt bike, a chrome Mustang drift car and a few other curiosities, he hooks it up to a bungee cord and jumps off a tower behind the wheel.
Now we're not quite convinced they actually did this and that it wasn't all CGI, but it's still worth a watch and a laugh.

New Lotus owners ditch ambitious five-year plan

Thu, 26 Jul 2012

This didn't take long. The new overlords at Lotus have reportedly scrapped the company's five-year plan. DRB-Hicom ditched the turnaround strategy, penned by ousted CEO Danny Bahar, because it believes the market viewed the plan as overly ambitious.
The new product plan will slim the number of new model lines from five to three, and Lotus will likely slash the number planned consultants in favor of relying more heavily on in-house talent. According to The Star, the move should help expedite product development and save cash at the same time.
Even so, nothing is written in stone as of yet. DRB-Hicom says the new plan will take up to a year to finalize. The company has dumped around $242 million into Lotus so far this year, and the struggling automaker may require another $121 million by 2013. Lotus all but stopped production earlier this year during a loan freeze, but the lights came back on in April. The company now produces around 44 vehicles per week.

Kimi Raikkonen moving to Ferrari?

Wed, 14 Aug 2013

Kimi Raikkonen, easily one of our favorite current drivers in Formula 1, may be making a move from Lotus to Ferrari, according to a Finnish tabloid called Ilta-Sanomat. Raikkonen, who won the driver's championship in 2007 with the Italian brand, is in high demand and is also rumored to have options on the table from Red Bull and his current team.
Of course, a move by Kimi to Ferrari means at least one of the Maranello-based outfit would need to find another ride. Driving ace Fernando Alonso has publicly voiced his displeasure with the Ferrari chassis, and rumors have the Spaniard considering a move to Red Bull to replace Mark Webber. Buckle up, folks, this Silly Season is shaping up to be bumpy...
