I just wanted to say Hello to everyone here, i Personally dont OWN a lotus BUT i have a small European and Japanese Service shop called RE-Tuning Service Factory out in San Antonio, TX i have been servicing Lotus's for a whiles now and i have discoverd that they tend to have some quirks about them! Despite that i have fallen in love with it and plan to acquire a Lotus Exige sometime in the near future. Well thought id stop lurking and figured id say hi!

Actually...my engine blew in April and, last year, two Lotus caught on fire during the same track day at Thunderhill. Welcome to the board.
