Im sorry to say the only lotus I spotted on my 600 mile trip this weekend was an m100.....im not sorry it was an m100 just the situation in which I found it......................
the front end was parked under a lorry and the boot had a boy racer and his pug in it

cops were all over it, didnt know whether to stop or not but as the cops were there and there was alot of traffic and nowhere to park we just carried on......
it was a H reg SE in calypso red.....
A49 between Ludlow and Hereford 4pm........friday 14th

I spotted 2 over the weekend - both custards.
The first was on the A38 headed towards Derby on Friday afternoon about 4.30ish. I couldn't see over the central reservation to get the number.
The second was on the M27 headed towards Ringwood about 7.30ish. H***HPM IIRC?
Exchanged a smile and a wave.

Yo Gazza, I was in Romford yesterday (Tuesday) wandering around passing time (needed a 45 minute tacho brake). I could have called at yours for a cuppa

, ended up having a dodgey chinese instead.
I purchased my SE from Romford too!

Dico

That was a S2, belongs to someone who uses Sinclaires as well as me. He won't be that far away from me when I move, HOPEFULLY :roll:

I will sort out new address and phone number for you, so you can stick your head in for a cuppa. That is when I'm not at work for 3 hrs of course :wink:

Yellow elan spotted just outside Chipping Norton Saturday evening. Tried to wave but not used to the angle of the screen yet so just ended up in thumping my windscreen :roll:

Calypso Red with woman driver? @ 8:50 near The Grange - turned into Trench Lane towards Sadly Broke. Apologies from the blue Peugeot driver for flashing you last week - my wife thought it was me (with the hood up :roll:

).

I spotted a Lotus Excel today in Birtley Tyne and wear.

Coulor looked slightly darker than my Pacific Blue.

Plenty elises etc up here but not many classics

Possibly Jetro, but unlikely.

I was nearby at that time, but not in the Elan though

I came very close to taking it out today, but my mileage limit is nagging me. :evil:

From my balcony in the sky just seen a nice shiny red one negotiating the roundabout at Carlton Vale in Maida Vale, London. Aerial supremacy, whilst giving an admirable view of the cornering on the big roundabout, precluded me from reading the plates. They drove right by my silver one which was parked up at the side of the street...

First Elan I've spotted on the road in the 6 months or so since I've had mine. Quite exciting!

Methinks young Sy posted a "spot" on that car somewhere in the previous 39 pages :wink:

EDIT - page 5 to save you all looking

Another prize for this sad old git :smt045
