is that a bit hanging off the bottom at the back or is it just a mark on the road ?

at least they cleared the tinks off the "lawn" next to the garage for the photo - sanj's extended family like the open air apparently but you would have thought they would pick somewhere nicer

Hi Dave,
Glad to see you are getting a proper car!
Only differences really on the MY06 car are leds and a different pedal box.
You are used to comfy seats so id go for one with probax. Sports (performance) pack is a must for lots of track work but touring is fine if you arent into that. Also make sure you get A/c.
Good luck, cheers Ed

Hi Ed- the embarassment at trying to wave to TT owners only to discover they were 40 something women became too much
I have heard about this move some of you lads are up to - S1 better because?

Its noisier, less reliable, smells, and is better looking.

Hmm, s1 works for some people but not others.
s1s are more "raw", less comfy, lighter and sometimes faster round a circuit. Obviously depends on who is driving. For your first Lotus and perhaps as you use it for commuting (iirc) id got for an s2.
