MOTOR-BLOG from Coventry

Yep I’ve been at it again. This week I drove my first Lotus - a 240BHP Supercharged Elise. It’s a Lotus press car, and although I didn’t have a very long drive in it, I can tell you this - it’s bloody brilliant. It’s exactly how I imagined a Lotus to be, it’s low, fast and handles brilliantly.

 

I was expecting it to ride badly, but it actually soaks up the bumps quite well - and being of a skinny disposition, the interior was quite comfortable too. The Supercharged Toyota engine is a real beauty, and howls at you when you get up into the higher revs.

 

But if you are considering buying one of these - purchase a few shares in the Petrol retailer of your choice. You’re gonna need to get back some of that petrol money from somewhere…
