Blogging

This blog site has several problems that I have uncovered thus far. I will use this post to add hints that will make the site work better.

-How to fix posts not showing up: Settings -> formatting -> days
-Some templates have problems with their formatting. If lines and pics seem to be running together, try a different template. The "dots" template seems to be problematic.

Below are some pictures of a car being "altered" by a guy named Neil at Sector 111, a major source of aftermarket parts for Lotus cars. He is trying to get rid of all the excess weight he can!

Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix

Today I attended the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix. Lots of great cars were there, including one S1 Elise, and 7 S2 Elise cars.

The first pictures are of an "S1" Elise, the first bodystyle produced by Lotus. This version was not sold in the US.

The rest of the pics are of S2 cars, with a Europa and a couple of Esprits thrown in:

About me

This blog is my way of celebrating a fatastic car which I feel very fortunate to own: the Lotus Elise. I bought the car from Ascot Imported Cars in Sewickely, PA, in March of last year. The car accelerates quickly and handles like no other car I have driven. It has a very spartan interior with few accessories. The "carpeting" consists of floor mats. There is no cruise control or adjustible seating. Many of the amenities that we have grown accustomed to are left out in an effort to preserve weight. Nonetheless, the compromises are well worth the final result.
