Fgsuperseven, I'm new!

Post by fgsuperseven » Fri Jun 17, 2011 9:52 pm

Hi everyone,

My name's Fabien, I'm a geniune petrolhead. 12 years ago, I discorvered the Lotus phylosophy, in the passenger seat of a friend's yellow Elan M100 turbo.
Then his brother got an Elise, I loved it.
But, there was a problem... I didn't have a driving licence, I was not old enough!

Ten years ago, my parents gave me the bible: Build your own sports car for as a little as £250 and race it! I wanted a seven! And I got one!

Here it is:

Ok, it's not a true Caterham, it's a Sylva Striker, a very very fast one! 1700 kent engine, 5 speed gearbox with long first gear, limited slip diff... Mind blowing!

And it was my first car ever! I was just 19!
I had it for 5 years.

I was always very involved in Lotus owners communities, and I created envents like :

La balade Berry in 2007 : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=32uFJcJ4t18
I'm also the creator of the famous Berry Ball 7111 : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_QGo2XjPNKw

I fogot, I'm French, I love the little bendy roads we have down here. If you have to travel through France, do not hesitate to contact me!

I sold my Striker a year ago, and I have a project in mind!

Thanks,

Fabien.

Don't worry about that, most of them are Scottish so they won't notice!
