Blue H142*** entering car park at Bristol Airport @ 1410hrs (I wonder if you're on my flight!) can be forgiven for having the hood up! :D

Saturday 6th July Silver SE somewhee near Lyndhurst - was for sale - sorry no more detail I had just cycle 103 miles through and around Isle of Wight and was hot and tired! There was a TVR drive on the island which has inspired me to make it for the LDC run in September

Then saw a few coming down the M3 with other Lotus cars...
