What's new?

On this page you will find a list with the latest Lotus related news, and a list of the most recent changes on the Lotus Drivers Guide website. In this way it is easy for you to see what is new on these pages. I like to thank everybody who is sending emails with information and/or images!! You can contact us here if you wish.

I do know that there is still a lot of work to be done on this website, and to be honest, I hope there allways will be as I do this as a hobby! As it is a hobby and not a business, I will take my time to do it. So please be patient and see the website grow from time to time.
