Who's got a Lotus in GA? I wish I still had my 77 Eclat now. I'd love to have an old Elite!

Welcome aboard 4re308!
There is an Elite on Ebay right now. It is beat up and it still pulling in bug bucks! Here is a link.

Hey guys, just dropping by from that "other forum", 2005 Elise, Columbus, GA.
(I'm a longtime Lotus guy, with 2 Esprits and an M100 in my past.)
Bill, poking around on your website...you've done all the mods!
I'm thinking about going back to the stock exhaust, car is so loud with Quicksilver. Will I regret it? Love that F1 sound:), but my ears hurt.:(

A couple more classics here, tired but running.
Both need some TLC to get back to daily driver status...
1970 Europa S2 "bugeye" (late 1969 type 65)
with the Hermes Kit (1x45DCOE and headers)
and the ELSE finned rocker cover.
1976 Elite 503 S1 (late 1975 build)
with the Euro 2x45DHLA intake setup.
Cheers,
--ken ritchie (atlanta)

All but FI ;)
Maybe I am already deaf (and my wife too), we go for all day drives in the mountains and with header/no-cat/StageII (now Von Hep) we don't feel too bad. It is WORSE with the top on.......I think you'll miss the sound :cool:

I wish some of you owners of classic Loti could make it out to some of Lotus Limited Southeast's events! We love to drool over the classics.

I'm the original owner of the car. In Sept 2003 I purchased the Esprit from Lotus of Atlanta as a "leftover." The car had less than 300 miles on it and the dealer said that was from delivering it from the Lotus US warehouse to the dealership. It came with the 2002 rims for no charge. I also received an extra set of floor mats and I have the glass top too. Since I was the original owner I also received the 2 year warranty on the car.
During the initial 2 years it was my daily driver and the only time it left me stranded was when I had a tire blowout (spare was flat too!).
