Well, I think we can all agree, that's MMC f*cked then
Graeme - who knew a random visit east with a mate 8 years ago would lead to the odyssey that it did? I remember speaking to you, with me looking characteristically scruffy, tentatively about the cheapest Elise in the showroom, cold off the street. An Aston customer came in to speak about picking up his car and you asked him if he minded waiting while you dealt with this customer - that impressed me! After getting me out for a test drive in the car that day, a week or two later, the deal was done.
That's the Elise I still own. Says it all really.
In my dealings with anyone in the car trade prior to and post dealing with Graeme, there's been nobody who's had that mix of enthusiasm, honesty and banter - plus, he's bloody good at separating you from your cash! If my chat there is a little purple, it's purely because if he'd been a little less accommodating that day, I'd likely have bottled out of buying an Elise (the Shugmobile was out of my initial budget - somehow, he made it affordable) I'd not have come across SE and not had 8 years of banter, memories and laughs - as well as meeting some really good mates along the way and even changing career!
G mate, whatever you do following MMC, I think you know you'll have a ready customer base for anything Lotus sewn up!
