I’m not agreeing to this one.
This will alienate the new S2 users from us. If we want to make them see things the way we see them as well, we need to talk together.
I say we live all together and have probably a pic of the S2 to the right of the S1 one.
Make the sponsor link smaller and get rid of the Elise talk section.
I definately favour replacing the Elise section with a MK2 section. Picture - not fussed if there’s one on the mainpage, but should definately have one in the MK2 section.
Obviously “Lotus Talk” & “Meets & Events” sections will be relevent to everyone.
Being sensible for a moment, if anybody buys an S2 Exige and comes on this BBS a lot, they are bound to get rid of all the namby pamby bits anyway, and add all sorts of upgrade bits, and different exhausts, and even different engines, splitters, wings etc etc, and those cars will end up just as individual as all our cars are…
After all, who of us should throw the first stone???
I think the S2 Exige should be up there on the main page as this is after all “exiges.com” (as my friends keep pointing out where I have the URL on my car LOL!)… So it may be watered down but it’s still an Exige…

There is a practical side to a separate section Uldis.
Many people ask for advice on this forum and if they aren’t explicit as to whether their car’s an S1 or S2 then they could conceivably be given the wrong advice. An S2 sub section would avoid this. Maybe we should have an S1 sub section too?, although S2 sales would probably need to reach some sort of critical mass for this to happen.
I share your concerns about alienation and still think the composite photo’s a good idea. However there is a danger of muddying the waters now there’s two Exige types out there.
However, i’d ditch the S1 pic and replace it with an S2 coupe… need to move with the times guys… I don’t like the idea of cluttering the header with too much, and the sponsor flash is the only way Mr Admin can finance the site… so if I was a sponsor I know what i’d say…
