I'm so sad to read this. While I've been out of the Zed world for years now, I can clearly remember that it was through Neil that I got the bug for all things Phoenix Yellow and S54. I'd gone round to his house to buy some chrome side gills for my old Z3, saw his Phoenix Yellow beauty on the drive, ...

Credit crunch, rising cost of fuel and motoring in general, rising cost of everything in general, I'd imagine Ed. I am about to be made redundant and really need to sell my 2004 Elise 111S. Given that nothing's moving, I am half tempted to keep it as garage jewellery! Thoroughly, thoroughly depressi...

UPDATE:
I see they're STILL trying to sell it. This time it's at a dealership in Devon - I wonder how it ended up there:

I got a bit disappointed after seeing and waving at numerous Zed's and getting no response and then the other week saw 3 in one day and all waved back - smiled for the rest of the day. Good point! I suppose one good point about Lotus is that there is a real sense of community. If you see another Lo...

Is there something you are wanting to tell us? :wink: Not exactly to be honest - I am in the process of buying but it won't be a BMW this time. However, I keep a keen interest in the Z3M scene as mine was by far and away the best car I've ever owned. The tax situation for S54 owners sounds horrendo...

Just out of interest, what does it cost to tax a Z3M these days (since the Budget)?

The Pistonheads listing on my old car is waaaaay out of date. They obviously let it go to the dealership in Poole - who would appear to have sold it (or maybe given it back! lol). As for the silver S54, that has been listed for several months now. Curiously, the seller is using a very old pic of it,...

Blimey - yes - it sounds like its my old one! Hard to imagine it's any other - the yellow inserts made it unique, the mileage sounds right and it does have good (though not exactly new) F1s all round. If anyone wants to investigate it, you'll need assurances that: 1. The over heating problem / start...

No, terrifying in the sense that it was dangerous (in my opinion) to drive and kept breaking down with a litany of problems. Massive gearbox, engine, steering and overheating problems, to name but a few. I decided to cut my losses and lose the thing, beautiful though it was. To be honest, I was so s...

Thanks Steve, I love it! How is the Phoenix and tricks these days? Oh sadly long gone. I let it go to a dealer back in July. Following the theft and damage it finally came back from the repair shop looking immaculate. It was absolutely bloody terrifying to drive though, and simply gave problem afte...

They keep prolonging the estimated finish date which is slightly frustrating, but on the other hand I'd rather they spent a long time doing a thorough job than a shorter time with su...
