ok they might seem like minor things but I was 7 floors up in an office block and looked out the window and could see my car roof off looking amazing, it gave me goosebumps.

The second was the mrs telling me she was talking about my car at work and when asked what it was like she said "you know when you are on a roller coaster going up the hill and it makes the crest then all hell breaks lose putting your stomach in your mouth"

Sorry but both reminded me why I love Lotus biggrin

many a time i have looked at the liz gleaming in the sunshine, with the roof off and all the crap cars in my street around it - just think damn thats a nice car, then remember its mine - nothing looks better than you PNJ sat outside sparkling (except driving it!)

Yep, whoever designed the Lotus had that uncanny knack of making a car which truly makes grown men look at it and the world through the eyes of an excited 7 year old boy again.

It really is a wonderful feeling, and to design a car which gives you that emotion both when it is moving and when not, is one hell of a feat.

I still get it again when I slip in and turn the key one notch and all the dials set themselves!

Just reversed out of the drive past my S2. The front lines looked amazing, I thought 'wow'. Also at work I can look down on my car and it looks so cool with the roof off.

I was driving along the other day and looked at other people in their cars and thought 'God, there is so much boring crap on the roads'!

Everytime I see an Elise I have a pang of deep pain.

My Monaro's been up for sale for A MONTH and no one's bought it so I can't afford to get the Elise yet!

Have driven a couple of standard S2's and I think they're fabulous!!

My missus came home drunk from a hen party on Saturday and the first thing she said was that all the girls were impressed that we had a Lotus. The girls had voted it their favourite car. Wish id bought one when i was single........

It's an S2, Did I not show you a pic on MSN a few weeks back or was that someone else?
