Hi
Does anyone know, or is anyone here a mechanic who mainly works on Lotus's more to the point Elans in Leicester?
Either they have a garage or can work at the owners home?
There must be alot of ex lotus guys around that might fancy extra beer money.
Cheers

Hi
Nice one. NewMarket is a little far from Leicester, would he come to the owner or visa versa?
Cheers

No you'd have to take the car there. Let me know if you don't find anyone closer.
I leave 30 miles from Leicester and I take (both) mine to him

Paul, i take mine to him as well, he's one of the few lotus specialists who actually know what he's talking about when it comes to the M100. Its a bit far, but once a year is bearable !

Hi All,
Spoke to Lotus In Leicester today, and was informed there is one full time Mechanic who works on Lotus's!
So i cant help thinking there are about 10-15 good Lotus Mechanics around leicester that could earn themselves a bit of extra cash with some homework
If anyone knows of any ex Lotus guys please give me a shout as the £97 per hour doesn't appeal!
Cheers

So going to a real expert in Newmarket, who charges £40 something an hour could save you a lot of money as well then Paul ?. If there was anybody any good in Leicester Paul, i would be going there, as its 15miles from me, as opposed to 60 to Newmarket, but there ain't !, so you either pay your £97 / hr, or risk the car in the hands of people who don't know what there doing, choice is your's ?

Hi Paul,
Can you post the Address for Newmarket?
The point im trying to make is just that there is alot of Ex Lotus mechanics working in different companys that have alot of good know how.
I hope the people with local garages like Paul Mattys realise how good that is.
Cheers
