Well, actually it's me replying this time, and not to say it wasn't me (although it wasn't - nice number plate by the way).

No, I just want to apologise to you Timmo for the negativity in my reply to your previous post. Particularly following Muley's Churchillian words of inspiration.

It was just a cheap shot for a quick effect and it has been bothering me for days. I feel diminished. Anyway, I know I don't deserve your forgiveness, your Timmoness, but I hope that this post in some way encourages you to persevere in your hopeless and pointless quest.

John

Edit to say: well that's great, that is! Here's me trying to carefully pick the right words to bare my soul, and Muley comes in with his usual quick "it wasn't me" while I'm typing.

I feel like I am on a brave journey of discovery. I know why Magellan and all the other discoverer types did it now...I will continue on my voyage with the one reason for doing it ......because its there and I can.

Timmo,

It's uncanny. How can you go around spotting M100 Elans, posting their details on here and NEVER getting anyone to say ' its' me'?

I am fast coming to the conclusion that you live in some sort of parallel universe which is exactly like the one WE live in, except that it doesn't have an LEC forum.

You must admit it's all a bit strange... :smt090

Keep it up anyway.

Actually Jim that has worried me as well.

I have given it much thought and come to the following conclusion.

Most of my spots are in central london. This is obviously some kind of bermuda triangle as far as LEC'ers go. I will henceforth consider it my crusade to bring the LEC to these owners and will be flyering each car as I see them.

Bit like the flyering minging cars get on Barry Boys

Azure blue S2 on the A46 from Newark M100 ***, i think was an S2 I was in a hire car going the other way didnt spot till the last minute.

by **timmo** » Tue 06.06.2006, 21:13

If it was azure blue you are guaranteed it was an S2.

Blue s2 going clockwise on the m25 around junction 3, 5.50 tonight. I was going in the opposite direction and in my everyday car so didn`t bother to try and say hello.

Looked as if they were enjoying the top down though

Got to be my best and least expected ever Lotus spot!

I got one - in Aberdeen (and it wasn't me or Andrew).
