Nick is a great guy.

He used to answer questions on a factory Lotus board like this until it took too much of his time and he had to quit doing that.

Great source of technical information on all things Elise

Just remember that he can not always be objective as he works for Lotus, so can never say that another/aftermaktet product is better than the version sold by Lotus themselves...

Bye, Arno.

I can add to the vote that Mark is a great guy and a great guy to do business with. I'm on the waiting list at HRM despite living in VA as I've dealt with Mark on a previous Ferrari purchase.

Mark Starr is a true Lotus enthusiast. I demoed the 111S at HRM last summer. I might just make the trip down to the auto show. He will also be at LRP for the Lotus day in November. He owns a great racing Exige.

I too spoke to Mark and got myself invited. About two months ago I was calling around to try and find a CO Esprit to see if I liked the color. Mark had one and met me at his warehouse. Really helpful to me even though I did not order my Elise through him. Live and learn. Should we all have some way of identifying the other Elise Talk junkies, like a yellow and green carnation or carrying around a torque wrench?

It's great to hear positive things about the various dealers, both the dealers and buyers benefit from the knowledge!

I will be decked out in saffron from head to toe......and probably starting a commotion about something
when I get there.
