have you hugged your Lotus today
Discussion
Hi all
I have just pulled my Elise out of hibernation this weekend, and I am like a kid on Christmas morning. :-)
Just wanted to share the love and get us to remember how lucky we are to own such awesome machinery! After months of humdrum, its life-asserting to once again drive a Lotus!
Go give yours a hug, she deserves it :-)

Yesterday I had the roof off for the first time (hard top).
Not sure who was more excited; me or my 4-year-old in the passenger seat screaming "OVERTAKE HIM!" at anything in front of us.
Cold but wonderful.
I use it daily and have pretty much given up washing it. My hard work lasts about 1 mile on these roads before it looks like I just drove through a field.

Use mine throughout winter. Always thought that was the best thing to do. Keeps liquids and parts moving and battery charged. In addition keeps me happy which is why I bought it. My only preference is having the hard top on but thats another of those 'thorny issues' thats been well debated.

Spent around 5h giving mine a bit of a clean up yesterday, great to get her waxed and shiney again after driving through winter, including snow, with the roof off as long as there's no rain. I don't have the option of tucking the car up in a garage so if she's going to stay outside I might as well use her 
No hugs, but after nearly 3 years of ownership she still gets a second glance over the shoulder as I'm walking to the front door after parking up.

No hugging but it did get a quick run up to Blyton Park for a thrash about. Except for the battery light flashing under hard cornering it behaved itself very well. Despite the poisoning, deafness, spinal abuse and wallet raping I love my Lotus so much and miss it during winter.
Chevronb37 Nice S1, was admiring it at Blyton park 
I was in a Grey S2 Exige, nothing like a cold dry winter track day to blow the cobwebs off and get reacquainted with these fantastic cars.
Any photo's from the day gratefully received.

A friend was taking photos with my camera. Sadly he was so transfixed by the task in hand he managed only one blurry shot of you on track. Hopeless! However, he did capture this charming image of you (I presume) hitching up your trousers
Chevronb37, just noticed your car was in the photo Jo gave me for a short piece on the track day I just uploaded here: http://www.seloc.org/articles/events/first-lot-tra...
