Spotted this morning at 7.15 by Spencer (Lotus Esprit owner friend who came along to one our our Southern LEC meetings), on the M4 near Swindon heading West. "Saw a Green one and a Purple one…. They weren't travelling in convoy and they did look in good condition "

NMY 'J' plate SE - driving across Clevedon Moor this morning :roll: - you should have seen the drivers face when I got behind him in my company car :-D

Then it was all smiles when the passenger saw it was me :-D

I was flying up the A12 just before Christmas- in mufti- came up behind a Volvo estate- which I hasten to add was getting in my way. Then it lit up like a 'kin Christmas tree on heat.
For a brief moment while I checked the speedo and my pants there was some panic. Then I saw 4 heads turn round and piss themselves laffing at my state of confusion.
They might be fast in a straight line but theyre pants at going round corners whilst carrying 4 donut eating lardy arsed pcs.

Bring back the good old days when we had Senators and Cosworths, and the scrotes only had a nicked SRi Cavalier.

Remember the old boy I was talking to at Southwold by the cars - he was a traffic cop in his day, driving a Mk 1 Lotus Cortina! 8)

An H Reg Calypso Red at Steve Williams Lotus in Maidenhead when I picked mine up last Friday. The owner, Gerald, has had it from new. He was unaware of our site :shock: , so I gave him the details.
