Wash your mouth out...VX220....PAH....


Actualy, joking aside they are very good. Built on the Lotus production line and the same platform. The Turbo was quicker than the Elise of the time and the engines were smoother than the Rover units. For me the Elise looks better but it's really an individual taste. Great value at the moment.

i think it is even a VXR edition, it is red and has black wheels with VXR engraved on them, i think it is quite rare but i would rather the Lotus. Dont you fancy another Lotus over a GS?

 

[Andyk]

now the VXR was a *******.....worth having to be honest Adam.

 

[Andyk]

I've had lots of Lotus and love them but done that. I will have another Lotus but not over the GS. Two totaly different cars to be honest.

Yeah they are, would you use a GS everyday? when you used your Lotus's everyday, weren't they uncomfortable?

It all depends on what you are used to...I was Lotus mad so every journey was an adventure and the ride never came into it...But Lotus are renowed for great handling cars that ride really well. Every corner in a Lotus is an adventure and you soon forget you are sat on the floor.

i couldn't believe how low you sit, when i got into the 2-eleven, i was lowering myself in and i took my hand off the bar which helps lower you in as i though i was about an inch from the seat, i was more like 10 inch from the seat and literally fell into the seat, god i had a saw **** but was definately worth it, the 2-eleven cornered like a house fly. awesome.

Bet you can not wait to get your hands on your first Lotus...or what every you decide. I will say dont' say no to a MRK 1 Elise...you can get good ones for 7/8k and they are just as much fun as any Lotus. Plus you can do so much to them to improve handling etc.

Sport160 all the time...but they hold their value....Type 49 is a looker but seems a bit much.

 

[GransportFan1]

i like the Type 49 the most but the yellow one looks a good one, just change the wheels to the normal ones.

 

[Andyk]

No you must not..The wheels are part of the Type49

 

[GransportFan1]

No you mustn't..The wheels are part of the Type49

no no i would change the wheels on the yellow one, the type 49 wheels are ace.

oh just found you on Pistonheads, that is where i recognise your CSL pics and reg plate, also loving the yellow Octavia VRS, you didn't keep the Frog long, only did about 2K miles, how come?

 

[Andyk]

No, wish I still had it though...There is a story on that....Always wanted a CSL and never thought I would get one but then the wife wanted another baby so I said yes as long as I could heave a CSL....Job done.

I was going to say that you could do alot worse than the VRS....It was my wifes car but I drove in on a two week trip to Italy and it was brilliant. These are fast cars and I think they look better then the new one. Plus very cheap.

I didn't think you would have gone for yellow, no they are a good car as they are in essence a VW

Yes Frank, but for a 4 seater for 3/4k it's a great buy...
