Elise S cup review

[GraemeLotus]

I'm got a Solar Yellow one ready for you AC.....

[BigD]

Like this colour...

My kind of daily driver and wet trackday mule.

That is really nice in yellow.

Time to put my hardtop on and get fashioning some plywood methinks in good old boy racer looky likie fashion.

How much for a rear spoiler?

[C7Steve]

Is that the Team Dynamics wheels or Lotus ones on that car?

Slightly off topic but please remind me : itis illegal to drive around with the number on the doors?!

[tut]

I believe that you can be stopped which is why we were advised to take it off after Competitions, or if going out on the road between races.

I never bothered as you kept your number for the season and was never questioned. Plus it looked cool and fooled people into thinking that I was an ace racing driver, and was a good chat up start with the birds. Not that you needed one with an Elise and the looks of a Greek God........

Don't remember the reason but when I was rallying we always taped across the numbers if you were driving the car home after the event. Seem to recall it wasn't a legal thing but had something to do with insurance

[Dominic]

I think it is a legal thing. We have always had to at least put a tape line through numbers after rallies.

[tut]

Just remembered, I used to do that if I remembered or could be assed, so not very often.

Yeh i remember the tape thing through the number . Looks cool though doesn't it [WHITE SMILING FACE]️ my boy racer days seem to be returning ever since i saw this car.

[renmure]

As someone who drove around in a full rally rep Evo I made sure I was up to date on the regs.

There is nothing in law to stop you having numbers on the doors or anywhere else. The reason folk participating in rallies put a line through them is usually a regulation of the rally organiser to indicate that, at that time, the vehicle isn't participating in the rally. No legal reason.

[campbell]

I'm with Jim on that one. Always had a feeling it was rally regs not dee law.

[alicrozier]

Yep, MSA you'd annoy not the rozzers.

Cars with numbers above (and your yellow one Steve) are Cup R so not road legal...

[T6 KFR]

It would be a sin putting a line through this - so pleased its not the law

Depends on if they are official race roundels and numbers or are a design on the car.

Ie. Youre not going to get pulled with the number 53 on the side of your vw beetle...
