Twas me boss! I was heading out to the deepest lands of East Ayrshire to seek out some property opportunities (an excuse for a drive).
I knew it was you instantly (black stripes and all) remember seeing you on here with the car as your avatar.
I flashed the lichtts but couldnt manage a wave. Its always the same when you see another Elise/VX. Not much time to react, they appear at the last minute behind cars, walls trees and lorries etc.
Thats the first i've seen you while i've been out and about. Probably will see you again, your not that far from me at all.
Cheers

Hi Jimmo
No problems I spotted you flash I hope you saw mine.
I agree you hardly ever see a VX/Lotus in Ayrshire drive mine nearly everyday and dont see anyone. Where in North Ayrshire are you?
I was on my way home after the trackday and AMP party.
Cheers,
Ken.

I'm in Kilwinning however i spend alot of time in Ayr at the moment. I did see your lights flash BTW.
What track/ trackday were you at? i don't track my car so i'm not up on all this stuff. Seems quite a random place (spot scene) coming home from something like that (says me who was in the same place for no better reason)
Cheers

No there are many others on here who just enjoy the fabulous roads in Ayrshire and leave the bushes to the farmers
