Well my alternator broke yesterday while cruising, yes broke, split the case in half. I smelled something like burning electrical, worst smell in the world, and then all my gauges started flickering so i pulled over and sure enough it broke the case, bearing was screaming. I limped it home, only a mile or so. But oh well ill have it back up and running this week. ---

I myself had a scare in the Lotus yesterday… Go to start it in the morning, clutch in, car won’t go in gear. Not at all. Ended up realizing after a few minutes of mental chaos, to check the fluid. It was low. Thank god… Much cheaper to replace the clutch master than the clutch… ---
