even dumber question, why did Mr Chapman call the company Lotus what's the significance???
I remember reading that after all the work he'd put into the early cars, Chapman felt in need of the fabled rejuvenating powers of the lotus flower, hence the name.
Rather sweet story, could be complete bollox.

Lots Of Trouble Usually Serious
lol i hope not!!!!!! i've just shelled out a load a ££££'s for a 111r!!!!
Nah, fear not; it's just the only acronym that people can come up with. 13k miles now in my 111S all round Europe (and it's been driven urmmm 'hard') and the thing's perfect! Worry not!
I would agree with the Lots Of Trouble Usually Serious,
Well I've had my Exige S for 3months now and since then Ive had the following problems:-
Supercharger blew up
Drivers side window wont open
boot catching and scratched paint on roof
carpets came undone
drivers seat wobbley
ecu light came on randomly
intercooler hosing came undone
had a massive engine oil leak (oil pump hosing packed in)
not very good for a 40k car with 3000miles on the clock! Funny thing is tho all of it has been sorted free of charge and I still LOVE IT TO BITS
