Re: ** SAVE THE DATE - Lotus in the Peak 2022 - 10th Anniversary **
I'm doing the classic run this time. Might book breakfast at Hassop but sometimes its quicker to just buy one when you are there. Yep, Carol and I are booking the classic run this year. I enjoy a 'spirited drive' as much as anybody but foot to the floor for 70 miles trying to keep up with Evora 400...

Pauline and I may have found somewhere for us to stay - went and had lunch there today and plan to spend a night there in the very near future. It's called The Manifold Inn. A traditional English coaching inn. 20 mins from Cromford (near Matlock Bath) and 25 mins from Hassop Station café. 12 rooms....

Re: Rough cold running
Have you checked the brake servo one way valve Phil? When that fails it makes weird sucking noises. Mine had an air leak from the valve and it affected running though not the same symptoms as yours. Could also be the hose or hose connection at either end? Edit: sorry Phil, didn't read your last post...

Re: New Member
Hi David, welcome to the forum. I second the opinion that if possible you should drive more than one. A decent one should be great to drive, rifle bolt gear change, direct steering, instant throttle response and great handling along with decent ride quality. I've driven 6 Excels in the last few year...

Re: are prices on the up?......(see this on ebay)
Its not big money though is it. 12k is bargain basement for a classic in good order these days. You'll struggle to buy anyhing decent for that money.

Re: Rear Spring
I have a pair or Avo coilover springs and shocks that I am looking to sell. Fully adjustable ride hight. They only have about 2000 miles on them. I've gone back standard springs and shocks and was expecting an improvement in ride quality but actually they feel very similar
