Hello everyone
Thought I would post up an introduction since I just got my first Lotus the 19th. I've been creeping the site before I made my purchase and this is my first post. I live here in Denver and come from the world of AWD 4 cylinder turbo cars like the STI and Evo. Like most of you I'm sure, I have had a thing for Lotus for a long time and have just recently had the chance to get my own. After searching for awhile I landed on a local 2005 Elise in Aubergine Metallic. Touring and sport packages from what I know and its completely stock supposedly sitting at 12500 miles. I'm hoping to keep this stock for awhile, but I'm sure I will change some things soon. I would be sad to ruin such a car. I cant really leave things alone and I like to play with titanium. If I can figure out this site I will attach some pictures if the Elise and my jealous Evo that I've had the past seven years. The Elise might be getting some love soon since I hear the radiator and oil cooler/lines have problems. I have only driven about 100 miles so far and catch the smell of oil, so I'd like to make sure the coolers aren't already screwed. Thanks for looking and for any future advice I may need for this amazing car.
Thanks,
Eric
