Went to the Hoghton Tower classic car show and lo and behold there were four of us there, that's the most I've seen at a normal Classic car show

Had a nice chat with the Lady who owned the white one, she has owned it 13 years and never had an issue with it, 82,000 miles plus on the clock

Turns out the NMY I spotted on Thursday on the M1 is the same car DABgp spotted on Sat nr Keswick.

Owners not currently on LEC, but have been directed to it!

It's an S2 with Wolfrace wheels (he doesn't like them and is after a set of S2 wheels I believe), and he bought it from Pure Lotus a couple of months ago. But work needed doing as they weren't exactly straight with him.

Potentially, sort of!
I noticed it had a Peco/Cybox of the early variety on it too - wonder if he experiences the Mother-in-law's screech...?

Very clean red M100 just exiting Portobello (where my studio is, just off Edinburgh bypass) on Monday mid-morning. Gave him a wave, he must have wondered why a tramp was waving from a Mini.

Geoff,
Are you serious?!?
Have YOU seen it, and is it back on the road?

Well, I'm hoping to be able to confirm it's continued existance when I go up there in a couple of weeks..... if I can get through the cobwebs on the garage door.

Just the one now, but this one's mine! - and it will be finished eventually..... - but also temporary custodian of a project until it is finished enough for Angie to drive it


...oh, and a 2006 Freelander destined for the jungles of The Gambia - 4500 miles across roads, desert and tracks - what could possibly go wrong?

I herd from a good source that an engineer working at Dunton research centre that owns a :m100: maybe he popped in on business.
