Me, too. Had mine since 1987, and I still like 'em.

No single book that I know of, although there is a new Europa
book out (by Robinshaw, I believe) about which I've heard very
good things. I'll let you know what I think after I get a copy.

There's a surprising amount of Lotus-related info on the web.
Just type in "lotus cars" (to distinguish from Lotus software) on
your favorite search engine, and you're off!

Mine is in ASP. I've done mostly suspension stuff so far:
springs, shocks, bushings, wider wheels/tires, etc., pretty much
the same sorta stuff you'd do to 'most any SP car. It appears
that Gary Milligan, past ASP National Champion in a Europa, is
now on team.net. I'll just bet he knows LOTS more than me about
making one work. I'd love to hear what he has to say myself.

>I know, I know.  A BIG can of worms.

How so?

Darling can't you see my signal turn from green to red
And with you I can see a traffic jam straight up ahead"
