The Lotus Grand Tourers

Hmm just tried booking for the Sunday; The checkout page applies £21 to the vehicle "display" ticket and another £21 for the "admission" ticket Is this correct, I thought the passenger only paid? Or was that for bookings before end of January? The 50% discount code works fine however by bringing it ...

I investigated this for one of my Elites but never resolved it. From memory I think the automatic reel is a particularly compact item, more so than current aftermarket items, which is why specialist Lotus suppliers tend to offer the horrible fixed versions. I was advised that the best option is sour...

You need an ipad.

Nice cars there, the Subaru too. Are they original wheels? Is it the type B thingy?

I've fitted motorbike-style buzzers to the indicators in quite a few cars where. This helps when the dash lamps are hard to see and the cabin noise can drown out the "tick" from the indicator relay.
