Hello and welcome and that blue Is awesome 😁👍

looks like carnival red to me.......

youre right L05 is carnival red.......... however if they re-painted it in the later calypso red it is likely that its faded......(on the M100 we called it Calapso Red.....due to its fading) possible???.....dont know the Orange colour of the day was Colorado Orange.....code L14 do you have any pics????

how vigorous was the wave back........lol...... not over excited Im sure........lol..........

welcome...... and as Bibs has mentioned.....we do like a pic or two.....

ok so the car was.......A32 Mediterranean Blue ICI P4217215 C082B6126J I cant find a pic of this colour anywhere...... can anyone help? Ive even put it in google and all that comes up is yellow cars......lol..........

the Gold Cup event you can now sign up for and get your free tickets........ this will be a lotus car park rather than just Elite/Eclat/Excel.......but there is an eclectic mix of old and new......from the original type 14 Elite onwards....including the cortina/elan/+2/europa https://shop.msv.com/DisplayCar/Register/OP-19-Gold-Cup?clubID=661 in addition........I went on the MLOC run once.....as I live in the Peak District........... I will not do it again......its a follow my leader type thing and my experience was the guy at the front just wanting to drive as fast as possible everywhere in his Elise.............not my cup of tea..........saw nothing other than the car in front

if you cant make this one there is a Peak District run which has been going for many years....... and something you can do in your own time and at a speed you choose and you're not just following someone on the following weekend..........30th June just in case anyone is interested.......

my Mrs spent 2 hours with a 101 year old chap who was literally blown over yesterday....... she said the gust seem to just pick him up and drop him on his back 10ft further down the road........ she spend 2 hours with him as that was how long the ambulance took..........

can Lotus hurry up please....... I've just caught myself looking at a Porsche Panemera.............and thinking I could live with it please feel free to punch me if I buy a Porsche

I would like period.......but I'm going to be getting some after market alloys due to the fact that I can't find any decent tyres........ Unless someone knows a decent true that's rated for grip and stability and noise

frost........no such luck....... I live at the top of an 'ill in the peak district........we get snow all year round........lol the respray is £3k.....I was quoted £2k min for a wrap....and the wrap is only good for 3 years.....or at least that's the guarantee on the wrap film my cars live in and out of the garage in turn...depending on what Im building....rebuilding.......playing with have you tried option one.........theyre suppose to be bob on and reasonable... Option 1 Sports Cars Unit 5 Shaw Lane Industrial Estate Stoke Prior Bromsgrove Worcestershire how far south are you?.......

thanks Dunc yes I have a spoiler......... sounds interesting way of doing the headlining........I'll go and check out that route paint........Ive had several of my old lotus painted..........Im using the same guy...... I though about a wrap.......but the 'wrappers' have all said they want a perfect surface to wrap to......... in my case thatd mean Id need to get it painted to get it wrapped........

ok........so the car is now mechanically there and Ive put it back together its going for paint....... to that end what do folk reckon.............it has an original S1 spoiler fitted....but Ive heard many say that I should fit an S2 spoiler....... and as its going for paint Id get this done at the same time.....so should I?.......fit the s2 spoiler the next thing is that Im putting my spare refurbished interior in the car......so Im going to do the headlining at the same time........ to that end...........Im thinking after paint........anyone done this.....and how easy is it........ Ive done my old elans before and its a jigsaw where you put things in in order....... any thoughts?...pointers?.......experiences?....... anything mush appreciated thanks G
