hello all,

as most of you now my s was written off last year and I'm now pleased to report the insurance money's coming through next week :D

to cut a long story short I'm setting up my own company and will be doing significant miles as a result. this together with the fact that the accident frightened the living daylights out of me has meant, on this occassion, not going for another lotus :( I'll hopefully still be kicking about on the forum and will keep up with the edinbeer nights out wherever possible :wink:

so thanks to all those who've offerred help, support, road runs and laughs over the last year and a bit :D

cheers
craig

All the best with your new business venture Craig - I only met you a couple of times (both at KH) and you're a top bloke :thumbsup (although the second time was just after you'd spun off & damaged the car :oops: )

I'm sure plenty here will happily offer advice for a suitable replacement, regardless of type or price bracket :wink:

The description of the new vehicle is conspicuous by its absence ;)

All the very best mate - hopefully both you and Lorna will still keep in touch with the S_E massive :thumbsup

Dude :(

Great news about the new venture, but really think you should reconsider the liz - it's great on petrol at least!

Best of luck and don't be a stranger mate :thumbsup

Being your own boss= best thing I've done IME. Once you take the plunge it's amazing how many of your initial worries evaporate. Deffo worth the extra hours...

Sorry to hear you're not getting another Loti, but can see your point. Remembering your grin when you got the car though, maybe that'll change... :wink:

Drop by if you ever have the misfortune to be in my neck of the woods.

All the best

Hey Craig, Been in my mind to PM you for a while. Your lack of posts since christmas was starting to make me wonder what you were up to.

Shame about the Lotus, but then again a TT does have a glove box, (you can't have scissors that sharp flying around under hard breaking).

Seriously, all the best with your new venture.

Tell Lorna we were asking for her,

Stuart
