Also many dealers are sitting on new 2011's and 12's, some are discontinuing Lotus altogether but wont price the cars to actually move, its as though they want out of selling lotus completely but don't want to sell the cars? Whats the best price i can expect for an S 2+2automatic, might be interested in purchasing two? I see one for $74k new.

Hey Mark: It is perfectly alright that you forwarded my message about the 2014 ELCC calendar to members of CLNW and I'd be more than happy to send a copy (or copies) of the calendar to any of your members who might like one (or more). The price for a copy of our club's 2014 calendar is $18 (including shipping/mailing) and if any of your club's members would like to send a check (made payable to the ELCC) directly to my home address (220 West Howe Street, Seattle, Wash. 98119) that would help expedite things, seeing as how I have the box of calendars at my house, and besides, we seem to be having a bit of an "issue" with our club's Post Office Box right now.

Mark ----- Forwarded Message ----- From: "Vegaskwest at aol.com" To: elcc_org at googlegroups.com Sent: Wednesday, December 18, 2013 3:37 PM Subject: [ELCC] ELECTRICAL THEORY BY JOSEPH LUCAS This is a simple and logical explanation that everyone should understand! ELECTRICAL THEORY BY JOSEPH LUCAS Positive ground depends on proper circuit functioning, which is the transmission of negative ions by retention of the visible spectralmanifestation known as ?smoke?. Smoke is the thing that makes electrical circuits work.?We know this to be true because every time one lets the smoke out of an electrical circuit, it stops working.?This can be verified repeatedly through empirical testing. For example, if one places a copper bar across the terminals of a battery, prodigious quantities of smoke are liberated and the battery shortly ceases to function. In addition, if one observes smoke escaping from an electrical component such as a Lucas voltage regulator, it will also be observed that the component no longer functions.?The logic is elementary and inescapable! The function of the wiring harness is to conduct the smoke from one device to another.?When the wiring springs a leak and lets all the smoke out of the system, nothing works afterward. Starter motors were considered unsuitable for British motorcycles for some time largely because they consumed large quantities of smoke, requiring very unsightly large wires. It has been reported that Lucas electrical components are possibly more prone to electrical leakage than their Bosch, Japanese or American counterparts.?Experts point out that this is because Lucas is British, and all things British leak.?British engines leak oil, British shock absorbers, hydraulic forks and disk brake systems leak fluid, British tires leak air and British Intelligence leaks national defense secrets. Therefore, it follows that British electrical systems must leak smoke. Once again, the logic is clear and inescapable. In conclusion, the basic concept of transmission of electrical energy in the form of smoke provides a logical explanation of the mysteries of electrical components especially British units manufactured by Joseph Lucas, Ltd. And remember: ?A gentleman does not motor about after dark.? Joseph Lucas ?The Prince of Darkness? 1842-1903 A few Lucas quips: The Lucas motto: ?Get home before dark.? Lucas is the patent holder for the short circuit. Lucas - Inventor of the first intermittent wiper. Lucas - Inventor of the self-dimming headlamp. The three-position Lucas switch--DIM, FLICKER and OFF. ? The other three switch settings--SMOKE, SMOLDER and IGNITE. The Original Anti-Theft Device - Lucas Electrics. If Lucas made guns, wars would not start. Back in the ?70s, Lucas decided to diversify its product line and began manufacturing vacuum cleaners. It was the only product they offered which did not suck. Q: Why do the British drink warm beer? A: Because Lucas makes their refrigerators. This has been referred to as the smoke theory when the smoke comes out its finished, cooked or done for. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Evergreen Lotus Car Club (ELCC)" group.

Hello everybody: Just thought that maybe a few of you might like to know that the February 2014 issue (which I received in the mail today) of the Hemmings Sports & Exotic Car magazine is full of some pretty interesting information about Lotus cars. First of all,? Richard Lentinello (the Executive Editor) wrote a short one-page article about Lotus cars in general, but in particular mentioned the Lotus Elan +2 model because he's been wanting to buy one for some time.? Secondly, there's an interesting one-page article written by Jim Donnelly (one of the magazines Senior Editors) about Mike Costin, his relationship with his brother Frank, Keith Duckworth, Colin Chapman and others. Then Richard Lentinello comes back later in the magazine to write a multi-page "Buyer's Guide" article about the 1980-1987 Lotus Turbo Esprit... why to buy one, what to look for and how to choose the one you want. All very interesting.

Hey Mark: I'm glad that you "forwarded" my e-mail message about the February 2014 issue of Hemmings Sports & Exotic Car magazine to members of CLNW, but there's something that I forgot to mention that I thought was pretty interesting. The last thing in the article about the 1980-1987 Lotus Turbo Esprit was (helpfully) a list several companies that can supply almost everything that can keep your Lotus Esprit (and/or most other Lotus models) running nicely and in good repair... that'd be, our friends at: Dave Bean Engineering; JAE; R.D. Enterprises Ltd., and; RS Motorsports. While I'm sure that in this day & age of computers and www websites, you can find almost anything (including parts for Lotus cars) anywhere in the world, it's still nice to know that there are several companies here in the good old USA who stock and warehouse many parts for our cars (especially the older ones!).

The hospital where he is being treated, The French Mountain Gendarmerie, said the 44-year-old arrived in a coma and underwent brain surgery after sustaining a serious head trauma. The hospital said Schumacher was wearing a helmet when he had a hard fall at the Meribel resort. In a statement, the resort said Schumacher was conscious when rescuers arrived on the scene. Additionally, orthopedic and trauma surgeon Gerard Saillant had traveled from Paris to the Grenoble hospital to examine Schumacher. German news agency dpa said it was Saillant who operated on Schumacher when he broke his leg during a crash at the Silverstone race course in 1999. In an email to The Associated Press, Schumacher's manager Sabine Kehm said the retired driver was on a private skiing trip and "fell on his head." "We ask for understanding that we cannot give running updates on his condition. He wore a helmet and was not alone," Kehm said. Schumacher's 14-year-old son was skiing with his father when the accident happened, the resort said. In addition to the crash at Silverstone, Schumacher was hurt seriously in a motorcycling accident in February 2009 in Spain when he suffered neck and spine injuries. He recovered sufficiently from those injuries to make a comeback in F1. Schumacher retired in 2006 after winning five straight titles with Ferrari following two earlier ones with Benetton. He came back to the sport in 2010 and drove for three seasons for Mercedes without much success before retiring again last year.
