An amazing and infuriating read. I'll check it out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Kincardine Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 Given we haven't a dedicated car thread I though I'd put this here.

I bought my first ex-Mrs a 2nd generation Elan (the one eschewed by Lotus snobs) in the early 90s after a particularly good bonus and she absolutely loved it. I didn't drive it that much as the top of the windscreen was pretty much at the same height as my eyes but it was a great weekend car. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamthebam Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 The Lotus Eastfife. No spare wheel, just three bricks so you can prop it up after the inevitable theft when you park in Methil. The Lotus Eastkilbride: Has tyres higher on one side for better roundabout handling 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The satnav has a doom laden voice that sounds as if you're entering a war or disaster zone.
