Hoods were down for the drive through Kent then put up whilst we went off for fish and chips and then came down again for the drive home!

Thanks all for a great day out along the byways of Kent.
The fish & chips was good too, although I think the seagulls enjoyed it most!

BTW I came across some stonking roads on my way home around Tenterden / Appledore, perhaps for next time?

Hopefully the seagulls got violent indigestion from the hot, greasy chips :smt078

That's a very unusual Lotus colour for the M100. Yours is the only one I know of ? I thought it looked a different shade (cf my NMY) but you never can tell until you see in the flesh

PS always thought BB had a screw loose :twisted:

Do you have any photos of the "half and half" It would be good to see the 2 colours together for comparison

I'm surprised LE didn't realise their mistake :shock:

Would love to but the M100 head gasket job is 3rd in the queue at the moment - should take around a month to get around to it.
