Not really a newbie but now a Lotus owner!

Hello! A good few of you know me already through Type-R Scotland

I've been on here a while, posted a few questions getting answers to fix Kenny & Ed's cars but today we became the proud owners of this

Had an 8 hour, 466 mile drive back from Sussex today, after a 6.30am flight to get down there. Shiona and I are now shattered but it has so been worth it.

I'll get some of our own photos posted as soon as the weather clears up and we get it washed.

Will see you at Knockhill soon and hopefully at some SE runs & events this year

Cheers

Andy

Great news Andy, you finally made it.

Like to think that I had something to do with it after our first road run together a few years ago.

I think that sent Kenny down the same path.

20th June 2004. On a single track road near Lochinver a tourist is refusing to get the hell out of the way. A crazy person with bare feets attempts an overtake via a passing place and would have made it but for a large boulder at the exit.

I decided then my next car would be Lotus.

I just about to start working in your next of the woods - so if you see a blue VX or , more worryingly, a blue fiat panda waving it's me !

Hi Andy,

looks lovely, spotted the previous owner's thread over on SELOC and guessed it must have been you that bought it

Stripes look great

You certainly did my good man

A Lotus has always appealed but the time just hasn't quite been right. The first time you let me pax with you round KH sold it to me

:lol: Brilliant!

We were talking about that yesterday when we picked the car up. Have you got the photo from the campsite at Ullapool?

I will do

This might sound odd but did you go to Queen Anne High?

To everyone else, cheers for the comments

The stripes have proved quite contentious on SELOC, glad they are more widely accepted here. They do look a lot better in real life

Stripes based on the 265E (orange and green?)
