Nice one Dave/Phil.....the best article on an M100 I’ve read for a long, long time, with a nice balance that reflects also on the Lotus community (LEC) and specialist’s

I was slowing down to avoid some nutcase laying in the road with a telephoto lens camera. :-D

TBH I was probably doing around 50mph, but even though I know that road it was a bit odd seeing the photographer sitting where motor cyclists often come to grief. Also the local golf course is being revamped, there were tipper lorries back and forth throughout the stint. He certainly earns his moneyat times.

A few more pics to follow in due course.
