Hello everyone. I've always been a Lotus fan. Other kids in the '80's liked Ferrari's and Lamborghini's, but I was always partial to the Esprite and the early Elan. Since it's inception, I've been craving and Elise. But I'm not sure which one I prefer!?
My father and I have always shared each others vehicles, and I've been enjoying his 2000 S1, with stroked B16B: 198hp. I was actually shopping for an Elise when he bought his about 4 years ago, but I laid off on the hunt since I was able use his when I needed my fix. Most pictures I see of the S1 make the car look cheeky, but when I see it in person, I love it. I wish the car had AC, that would allow me to drive it in comfort during the 100 degree summer temps. I've thought about looking into adapting an AC unit from an '07 and later S2.... It's been awhile since I've driven and S2. Unfortunately I wasn't able to put it through the motions on my test drive, but the one thing I remember; it definitely didn't have that awesome sound of the V-Tec kicking in... I'm still just running all the pros and cons through my head on S1vS2vS3.... Here are some pics of the S1:
