I should add at this point that Ross is a good mate of mine and has been for years so you dont need to be nice, also his chat isnt as good as yours truly and he hasnt even bought a proper Lotus. Good start newbie :lol:

And I showed you what trackdays are all about, me being slow and binning it into gravel trying to drift.

Unlike on the run down south where we waited patiently for you, topped you up with fuel, and generally pandered to you every time you broke down!!!

New VXRoss, whereabout on the South Side are you? Like Steve, I also have a silver S2 which is currently dirty - mine's in Shawlands/Crossmypoof.

Thanks for the warm welcome

I have purchased a black vx220 na with black hard top / red soft top. Debadged & deV'd front end. Not sure what non-standard parts are on it yet.
JJ said he will have a look at it tonight to see if he can spot any bonus items. Thinking about getting wheels powdercoated black, stealth look and all that. Apart from that going to just keep my fingers crossed i dont bin it at the first round about I get to this evening.

Fellow Southsiders, im just down from Shawlands cross on Queens drive, will keep my eyes peeled and give you a wave if i see you.

It does look particularly sweet, very stealthy and black shoes would be top of my to do list, would look awesome.
