they need to advertise as I live in northampton with an elise and had never heard of them until I saw a car for sale on autotrader! They should at least get on the official lotus site!

Porsche dealer and now lotus - northampton's going up in the world!! Somewhere else for me to drool on a sunday morning!

I went to Storm to test drive a 111S a few years ago and was treated with total contempt.
OK I was "only" 27 (what a crime) but was a strategy consultant and could easily afford the car...
(Customer service at TMS in Melton when i went to test a Griffith a day later was out of this world)

All these guys have to do is publicise themselves and offer half decent customer service and they'll nuke Storm.
And good riddance!
Now that I'm considering a S2 Elise there's no way I'd go to Storm even though they're convenient to get to.

OK. rant over.
anyone at Storm ever heard of the concept "moments of truth"?



dont suppose u'll consider a year old s2 at a very very low price as i need rid of mine sharpish before travelling?!!?

having just called into orchards I'd like to echo thoughts here in that they were v friendly and helpful - is this a start of a new revolution of lotus dealers!!!! or will they be struck off for not toeing the line of making the customer suffer as much as possible!!

well done chaps
