Lol...
I learnt that the deer in Woburn Great Park look huge when you are looking up at them from a 7 
In my Cobra I've learnt that whenever you come across a sewage overflow on the road there will be a car just ahead of you putting up a fine mist of it for you to travel through.
I learnt that in the summer a lot of people clean their windscreens to get the flies off= a wet face.
When driving without a windscreen that birdpoo is your biggest enemy (luckily i was wearing a helmet)
I have learnt how nice my car and many friends 7s are to drive and how crap a lot of production cars are
That you need to hold your breath for ever when you overtake an agriculture lorry full of chickens...
When driving through St Ives in summer, all small children warn their fathers of your approach, all you can hear is 'Dad, Dad' look at that!'

I discovered that a trip to the shops for milk can leave you shaking. Happy days!
I've learnt not to drive too close behind builders' flat-bed trucks without eye protection... you end up with a face-full of grit, dust
& sand.
Ive learnt that "other car users" do not see a highley polished car and bright green front, and very loud exhaust very well, and pull out in
front of you, while i am doing about 30mph, and about 20 yards away
On both occasions, i really do not know how i managed, not to hit them smack up there arse
But the next cnut who does it to me, i will follow them to there house, and go back later in the day and smash there car up with a pick axe
Oh, and both times, like always now, i drive with my lights on, plus LED's fitted last thursday

On friday it seemed everyone was pulling out on me, about 5 times in a day! Was rather annoying.
I learnt to treat wet roads in the 7 like driving a normal car on ice, that was a real shock!
1) In a battle of Locost vs. deer, the Locost can win with minimal battle scars.
2) Everyone within a 50 foot radius must photograph your car (regardless of whether they are operating another vehicle).
3) Certain Lotus purists get absolutely irate at the sight of the car - it provides the Locost owner much needed entertainment.
4) Do not bother getting fuel if you are in a hurry - inevitably some very interested car guy will approach you.
4.1) There is a 95% chance said other interested car guy will tell you every detail about the heap he has sitting in his garage. There is a 95%
chance it is some land yacht in which a typical Locost owner would have no interest.
5) You are in everyone's blind spot on the road. Even a Miata is like a lifted truck to a Locost. Defensive driving is taken to an entirely
different level.
6) The police have much less interest in a Locost than they do in the typical sport compact.
7) You could charge an outrageous price for a ride in the car and probably recuperate the cost of the build in short time.
I have learnt that rain is like a thousand needles when doing 60. And blue bottles are like bullets when doing 70ish.
For a while when I had my Indy I was considering making a sign to put on it to read "THIS IS NOT A ROBIN HOOD!!" because loads of people
kept asking if it was
Good point about the rain...
Wipers are only useful on the outside of the screen. Rain covering the inside of the screen and your glasses does not get touched

hahaha, so true!
and the needles in the eyes, so true!
My first ever visit to a garage, for fuel reslulted in a large non white guy, who said, " nice caterham"
My reply was its not a caterham,
he then got all irate and agressive accusing me of not knowing what i was driving !!
i left the muppet getting irate and abusive
another one that still makes me chuckle was the caterham driver who was in the opposing lane gave me a cheary wave as we slowley approached each other
, in slow traffic, it was as our nosecones approached (different lanes) he realised, i was an imposter and quickley turned his head full left in
disgust, and would not make eye contact
as our cars drew level, with the white lines the only thing between us, i gave him some abuse to the fact he was a snob, and a twit
it must of been amusing to the guys behind me as well, as they gave more abuse, and all this time mr snobby was pulling forward with his head locked
looking left
what a twit
thankfully, i do have a m8 with a c......... and he is nothing like that twerp
Agree with all posts so far, but the main thing is that the inside of the car fills with small stones, making a painted floor a waste of effort.
People tend to tailgate because they want a closer look, and I might add that small trucks appear like the biggest 18 wheelers you've ever seen,
when you're next to them.
Headlights behind you at night are damned scary, and ALL of them are on mainbeam!
Whenever you stop for fuel, there is almost always someone to ask for a spin. When you oblige and get them back they look very pale, and give a very
shaky handshake
It's worth keeping a jerry can of fuel in the car for when the fuel gauge lies to you!
if rain is like needles.....hail is like spears lol I had that delight last 'summer' 
I have learned that you get a very good view of 18 wheelers nuts.
Scammell wheel nuts has a whole new meaning
13 year old girls squeal like stuck pigs when you touch the throttle (my daughters friends i'm not that sort of bloke)
Fuel economy is a distant memory.
