Got my new car!

JollyGreen · 8 Apr 2006 at 10:35

Well, technically I've had it since Wednesday, but it's only today that I've been out of the thing long enough to take any photos and post a thread

I'm bloody chuffed with it, like I say, I've barely been out of the thing since wednesday!
I've put about 450 miles on the clock already!

It's surprisingly comfortable once you're in it

Lovely

Hopefully everyone has said what needs to be said already

so this thread can focus on being full of jealous replies.

Saying that, I hate you :mad:

Enjoy it

What tyres do the Marina rims run, now those on the rear would be funny!

penski · 8 Apr 2006 at 11:03

They'll probably be 155/60/13 on 5x13 rims.

Enjoy it

That car is too good for words!!!! lol

Very nice car there...just take care with it. Probably the best time of year to have one, you should be able to get a good few months of open top action.

Biffa · 8 Apr 2006 at 11:27

Hehe shouldn't someone be along soon asking for pictures of you sitting in the car with a cardboard sign saying "OMFG OkUk!@#" or something?

JollyGreen · 8 Apr 2006 at 12:22

Hmm, Crap.
Just taken it to a lotus garage as they're doing a free inspection day.
Turns out the offside rear damper is leaking buckets, going to have to be replaced.
Phoned the dealer (as a squeaking suspension had been brought up on the RAC check, they said they'd fixed it by greasing the bushes), and it looks like they're going to be difficult about it, they want a look for themselves ¬_¬

Shouldn't be any hassle though, Lotus have said ther'es a problem, I think they'd know what they are talking about when it comes to these
