New to the forum....not new to lotus.

Postby Esprit10 » Thu 24.04.2014, 22:36

Hi all... I am a proud owner of my second M100. My first one did not require much. Drove the heck out of it and enjoyed every min. I recently bought an Élan which will need a lot of TLC. I plan on refreshing her with the help of my three little girls.....yes I said it three little girls who are soo determined to help me resurrect this car. Looking forward to the support of this group. I've been an Esprit owner (93 esprit) for 7 years and have always appreciated that groups knowledge and expertise. Wish me luck and I thank you in advance for the support!!!!

Welcome aboard! :D
I'm sure we'll all be very interested to see your progress.
Even a few shots of how your car looks now will be a great reference point for how the journey ahead.

Oh, and it would be worth putting you location in your profile - there may be help nearby! :-D

Welcome and congratulations on your second Elan! That's fantastic that your girls are interested - it was (and still is) the same with my sons and it's built great memories and rapport with them now that they're adults.

If he is left handed, then that might be a big plus. Now, if he is small enough to fit into the driver's footwell to fix everything the rest of the world can't get to...
