Hi and welcome to LEC.

You'll find it full of info and help. WikiLEC is a good resource as is the Manuals section. Both accessible from tabs below header.

We are a friendly bunch and threads often descend into hilarity as you will no doubt have observed. But we are all prepared to give help where required.

Club Lotus Castle Coombe meet in May is an annual get together for a fair number of us when we can make it, and there are local meets when Covid allows.

saltire is probably your nearest fellow member now dapinky has emigrated to Pembroke.

Oh and it is compulsory to provide photographic evidence of your purchase!! Post photos on here or links to a photo hosting site.

Enjoy your car! :D :D

Well, Jonathan (saltire) would be closest even before I moved! - he's in Malmsbury (Another BRG)

Also, epipete is in Chippenham. (Monaco White)

There was a Pacific Blue one in Wells, but not sure if it is still there.

Paul (pdfuller) still has his yellow S2 in Weston.
Dave

Just the one now, but this one's mine! - and it will be finished eventually..... - but also temporary custodian of a project until it is finished enough for Angie to drive it


...oh, and a 2006 Freelander destined for the jungles of The Gambia - 4500 miles across roads, desert and tracks - what could possibly go wrong?

Jonathan here! And we really will have to teach you how to spell Malmesbury, dapinky :lol:

Welcome, Dr Simon, glad to have the company. We’re up by Cotswold Airport. Be great to meet up once we’re allowed to again :cheers:

I think it stems from far to many years explaining to people that although there are many Bridgewaters in the UK and abroad, there is only one Bridgwater.... so I just ignore the useless "e".

And of course there is both a Bridgwater Canal and a Bridgewater Canal.
