I've had my Lotus a week, been driving all over the place, and never seen another one in over 600 miles. Where the hell is everyone? Lovely sunny day today and you must have all been sleeping...

I note from your profile that you live on the island of Sark.

I've been out and about - done 1300 miles in 10 days - though not near you I don' think!

Actually, I've not seen THAT many other Lotus' around - it's not like I've not been driving the right roads, either

I'm the same. Before I got mine last week I saw, on average, 3 a day. Now all I've seen is a lightening yellow vx220. Nice chap waved though.

I just hope plod doesn't see me though. Man, I'll be banned for life.

Ah well. On the plus side, it confirms my suspicion that, unlike Z4s, Boxters, Audi TTs et al, Lotuses are still the choice of the discerning driver, which is why there are so few about!

I think most of them are on the forecourts of dealers looking for owners!

Might have a sniff around a couple of forecourts myself this weekend if the weather is fine
