There is only really one NNTP newsgroup dedicated to Lotus cars and that's 'alt.cars.lotus'. Over the last two years it has steadily declined in terms of the number of postings and hence usefulness. This has been largely down to the popularity and user friendlyness of the various on-line web based forums but, in the last six months, the level of traffic, the quality of postings and its usefulness has been improving. Like all NNTP newsgroups, you will be subject to huge amounts of spam mail if you post using a valid e-mail address.
