You are absolutely right! That was an oversite and has been sorted. As the place grows we'll separate the content out into it's own dedicated sections. Thanks for bringing it up.
Care to share the lotus pics? Always loved them

Here’s some from its last run out before hibernation. I only bought it a few months ago, so not really driven it much yet, but it’s just had a little bit of work done to make sure it’s ready for my next Trackday.

Love the wee Union Jack detail on the spoiler.

Yes, it's quite a different cornering experience to the M4. Much more feel, and transparency as to what's happening, which really helps make a corner have more distinct phases, turn in, apex, exit, and a greater sense of what your inputs are contributing to that process.

I've only briefly driven an Elise, and in some ways - like cabin space, build, toys- they haven't moved on at all!
However, the V6 engine, and the slightly longer wheelbase has made it feel like a proper baby supercar. Incredible traction, as well as a lot of punch in each gear. No silly gearing like Porsches have either.
