One thing i havent missed
Discussion
Is other drivers not driving right up my ar*e or trying to race me because i am in a Lotus. Other drivers driving like Knobs is definitely more apparent when you drive a Lotus.
I have missed the Lotus though and i am looking for a 8-9k S1 that requires no further expenditure for at least 12 months if anyone knows of one? This will be used only as a "weekend car" (i hate that phrase) as the TTR will be my main drive to work car.

You don't half go through your cars! Mine's not for sale just yet i'm afraid.
Just making an addition to my car family.
Keeping the TT and my Focus Estate.
I know what you mean about the Elise attracting knobs - having an S1 doesn't improve things though!

might be willing to let mine go for 10 (official lotus hard top and softop, 111s alloys, S2 suspension, full stainless larini exausht, etc etc etc etc etc) no expense spared looks like new.just had front resprayed to get rid of the stone chips, aswell as new yokohama rubber and a geo set up so it handles right.
the only reason it isnt advertised yet is cos i cant decide what to look for next . . . . . . . and it keeps coming back to the S1 and i think i might aswell keep it . . . . .

If you sell then who else will back me up when it comes to slapping scrotes on the hard shoulder of the motorway!
been thinking about selling for a few weeks, but i keep coming back to the same conclusion . . . . .
nothing is as cheap to run, that gives as much enjoyment as the S1.
I borrowed a S2 for 3 weeks too, did alot of miles in it and can honestly say its nothing in comparrison.
heart says 930 turbo (old 911) head says stick with the S1 . . . . .
so if anyone wants to give propper money for a sorted S1 ill sell, otherwise ill be keeping her.

Could you email me some pics please with details such as year,miles,number of owners etc etc.
Aaahh, the mesmerising effect of the yellow and green roundel......I knew you'd be back mate! LOL
Good luck with finding the right car. Shame you didn't decide this a few weeks ago, my old K-series S1 was pretty-much sorted before I let it go, would have happily sold it to you for little more than what I got as p/x at CN's - but it sold within a few days even with their mark-up apparently!! Had only just done an S2 suspension upgrade, DOH!
Keep me informed how you get in pal

I am going to make this car search a casual one, not in any rush but will browse the classifieds and wait for the right one to come along.Good luck with finding the right car.

mines cheap if you want one. see the S1's in the classifieds (or check your email)
I replied to your email last night. We need to discuss logistics of viewing your car as you are probably as far away from me in this country as you can get.
Respond to my email when you get a chance please.
