Must be a record for a Lotus managing to run for more than eight minutes without breaking down 
My Dad's had an S3 since I was a nipper and I can't remember a time when it WASN'T broken!raymond.harper said:Must be a record for a Lotus managing to run for more than eight minutes without breaking down
Still hope I get to inherit it one day as after 40 years, he's at the stage where he feels 'happy' with it.

I had an Elan S4 SE in the later seventies. One of the most unreliable cars I have ever owned. In one year it broke down 11 times. When it was working it was superb although the build quality was very poor. I spent a fortune having the body repainted and within six months it had micro blisters so decided to sell it. Good luck when you eventually inherit the S3.
Is it any good? Never been in.buzyg said:Enjoyed that Chris. Now that's what you call getting it sideways.Like many we stayed in that Hotel when visiting the Ring several years ago.
We stayed in a couple of different place a bit further away due to cost and then later started camping out over the weekends to keep costs down even more. Quite apopular choice and usually a great way to meet petrolheads but can get a bit rowdy sometimes.
Gotta pick ur camping spots judiciously if ur after a good night's kip. :wink:

It was just fine, great breakfast I recall. This was early noughties, can't even remember which year, back before I had a digital camera. How things move on.

Stayed there 10 or so times (also early noughties through to late noughties). Nice place, clean comfortable rooms, decent bar and decent food. Eddy who owns it (presume he still does) is a really helpful and easy going chap.
