Co-pilot
You get on that, Mr. Engineer...I am sure a Lotus is a people magnet.
I was kicking around the idea of a tonneau cover as well. Not sure how the open sides would get covered but def something I will work on.
I suppose you could bring a full cover with you and cover it but what a pain in the ass every time you step out of it.
Perhaps some sort of wasy bikini top would work? Keep the rain out but be east to install - maybe a couple hooks that go to each fender well and one on each roll hoop? I will have to give it more thought...
Sitting in your car , a Lotus . Unreal better you than me -I would of had a melt down .Stop me if you've had this happen to you before...
You leave your motorcycle parked outside a store / restaurant / house to do your thing and when you return to your trusty steed, you find someone sitting / leaning / taking a photo on your baby... Or putting their kid on your baby to take a photo (and potentially burn themselves)...
It happened in my Lotus as well. I took it to Home Depot with the roof off for a quick run and when I got out, a guy had pushed my power window down and stepped over the door to sit in it with his kid... The Elise has notoriously difficult ingress / egress so I caught them when they were trying to get out of it.
In the end, it's ugly, and unfortunate, but it's bound to happen. Seeing as the Slingshot will no doubt be in the eye of many onlookers and enthusiasts, what will you do to keep unwanted attention and buttocks from infesting your Slingshot?

I think they do offer one.So we now know there is a cover, I wonder if they've got a bikini cover for just the cockpit as well?
