These Lotus
This morning Lachie, driving steadly on a straight section of road (it was already raining and the roof was up) hit a patch of standing water just outside Dollar and Barral Rolled the S1 into a field
Thankfully Lachie and his G/F walked away much to the amazment of the police and other people who saw the car which is what matters most, the car can be repaired/ rebuilt
The car was recovered by Craig Dimmock of Bathgate and is currantly waiting at Steve Walkers to get a better assesmenet of the options available once I get Ali to have a wee look and figure out the best way forward
I do know that even in our short time of Lotus owner ship we had a lot of fun and meet some intresting people - so we will most definitly be back once we get over this hic up
Lachie I know that must have had to be one of the most difficult phone calls to make within minutes of the accident to tell your Bro you've had an off But what matters most is that you guys are OK - Even if you've got a few aches and pains

Re: Strong Wee Car's
...sorry to hear about your car mate. 

Re: Strong Wee Car's
Good to see that they are both uninjured Hamish.
Just told Craig, and pretty sure it is the first 300hp Elise write off in Scotland.

Glad you are ok......I was just telling Craig about you and Kames yesterday.
Re: Strong Wee Car's
Glad to hear everyone is OK, looks like a very scary accident
Spoke to both of you at Kames last weekend and could tell how much you were enjoying the car, very sad to see it like this
Best of luck with whatever you decide to do

Looks like it was a BIG accident.
Very Lucky both to get out safely, especially in a soft top without helmets.
Take care,
Frank
