:wtf: were you doing in a Peugeot. Do you mean the Porker is a museum piece too?

Calypso Red SE at South Mimms Services on the M25 this afternoon.

About 4 to half 4 ish.

A 19 VSE (I think - didn't write it down) - it had a perspex rear plate cover - so should be an 'H' plate???????

I was going to leave a 'calling card' but noticed a LEC sticker on the windscreen - it isn't one i remember seeing before - but presumably it does (or did) belong to someone on here.

(Initials on plate didn't ring any bells either).

Car was unoccupied when we arrived, and still there when we left.
Dave

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?

12.45 this afternoon.
Pacific Blue S2 reg M922---
in Waistrose car park Droitwich.
There when I arrived and parked next to it, and still there when I returned 10 mins later and had to leave promptly to avoid parking warden (not having bought a ticket!).
Whoever you are, give me a PM as I live not far off.
Anybody know who this is? :)

No. Sorry about that but as well as the fast approaching traffic warden who would also have noticed that I had forgotten to display my new tax disc, I assumed that the data base was to be relied upon for this sort of information!
Clearly I shall have to loiter until I catch this car again.

Someone knocked on my front door at 4 o'clock today.

The guy says I saw your car on the internet and recognised the area.

He said he had seen the hardtop and was interested as his wife has a red one with 114k miles on it.

He saw my car on LEC but I dont think they are members.

They were at Donington last year. They say they are thinking of going this year so I've told them to Join and have a look.

Yellow SE, J XX UPA in car park at work in Hook (did a double-take when I saw it - we have Esprits, Elises and Exiges, but this is the first Elan I've seen here). Left a note re Lotuselancentral and forthcoming Southern Meet.
