So after all these years (I think around 20!) it would seem that I've bought a Lotus :lol:
Liking the suggestion it just mysteriously happened rather than you sorted !!

Looks good

Re: S1 Audi Elise

I can remember that from my old one too, the over sill had rubber edge which I’ve ordered 👍🏼 It’s an awkward shape to PPF, esp the front lip. Will need to come up with something. Saw a company doing the DIY PPF kits but at £400 I’d be as well paying a professional to do it. I can remember there was...

Re: Le Man vs Le Man Classic 2020

Left Wednesday, back yesterday. Awesome time based on the whole trip and being in a group for the week plus the 24hr race. 7 days away, 7 cars out of 11 did the whole 1400 miles driving through UK, Netherlands, Belgium and France together (or at least kind of) with a whatsapp chat and walkie talkies...

Re: Le Man vs Le Man Classic 2020

Thanks for info. Kind of fits with what I read.
But good to hear from you all.

Others have mentioned expect rain and it ain’t warm rain so be prepared.

Space isn’t a problem for me so I’ll chuck stuff in just in case. Club Sport has no back seats so my boot is about 2m long !

Re: Le Man vs Le Man Classic 2020

I have a revolut it’s a pre payment debit card, use it on foreign holidays. I can see it makes sense if electronic payments is the norm. No charge for foreign currency payments plus it uses a interbank exchange rate for currency payments so basically you get a good exchange rate. Plus you can have a...

Re: Emira test drives Lotus Glasgow

Loads of Emira sitting at Lotus Hamilton.

Nice to see the area full of new Lotus rather than recent times when typically it’s been 1 or 2 outside and same inside.

Same, booked with Lycian and Village on the Curves. Good news you thought it good enough to go back this year :thumbsup Debating whether to go with their 3 day food deal or just buy as needed when we are there, what did you do ? Final Le Mans payment required next week then apart from spending on th...
