I'm guessing Googy got it spot on, insider info is cheating ! ! !
Sounds a lovely motor, look forward to seeing it as I've necer seen a 135R.

Congrats

They are rather nice. I think the car looks really complete with the coloured vents and hard top. My first impression of the blue alcantara was that it was a bit 'in yer face' but I have got used to it very quickly and I actually really like it now.

To be fair the little tweaks that lotus made to the 135 are only going to come into their own on track but as an all round package the car looks and feels great.

I have yet to explore the handling of the car having only had a couple of test drives but you can just tell that the difference between the S1 setup and the 135r is significant. The power delivery is smooth and linear with some improved torque over the standard.

...roll on October

Give that lazy gimp Chris a rocket, he can get it ready quicker than that. It isnt like he has anything better to do.

I'm selling the car to a good friend who has been looking for a car for about 8 months. He has tried TVRs, Porches and Westies but I finally convinced him to join the dark side

I will be very sorry to see her go. A great little car, sounds great, totaly reliable, pocket rocket on the Bs and a Ferrari eater on the track

[just1]

Nice one mate cant wait to see her out and about, will your mate who is the pround new owner of the old P&J be joining us on our outings?

[poptosis]

I'll get him along as soon as possible
