He has a Lotus, if anything is going to cause him to be penniless I'd say it's that.

Not with the superb one he’s got - @RobinB5 was smart enough not to buy a complete shitter and spend months if not years rebuilding it.

Latest in the Royal Mint's Bond themed commemorative series of £5 coins arrived today.

Pay attention 007

Always lovely to see Mike @MPx  who visited today for a B service and MoT on his stunning TE. 🙂

[Bibs]

Lionel! 

Just so happens I had some Cricket St Thomas brie this evening. What are the chances! 

[MPx]

Its always a good day when you do over 300 miles in a Lotus and spend some time in great company.  Many thanks as always @Sparky.

Sounds like there may be a TLF outing to Lubborn cheese factory shop sometime then Bibbo??

Got my photos from a shoot I did last week. They aren't GF good, but he's a beginner and I thought I'd help him out a bit - we all start somewhere!

New addition to TLF HQ...

Which pub is that in ?

I was just about to say the same!

When the location of your bright yellow Esprit shows the council are very clearly lying. 

2020 - I’m afraid it most certainly wasn’t parked there at any point this year even for a few minutes. The date is 27/06/2018. Should make an interesting discussion point.

[100th_Idiot]

Not the brightest minds there taking the copyright date as the date the photo was taken.

I'd say it's idiocy rather than lying but you can ask which it is. Have fun.

[Barrykearley]

The idiocy of it removes their valid objection point @100th_Idiot - so it’s massively helpful to me. Not so much for them.

[100th_Idiot]

I await the report of fun

@Barrykearley If you haven't already, download Google Earth Pro and navigate to your house, then use the historical imagery button and timeline to see most* if not all satellite images taken through the years. The online Google Earth doesn't have this feature (that I could find anyway). 

*Sometimes Bing and Apple have better more up to date scans.

Tracked this thing.  Bonkers to drive but loved it.

[C8RKH]

Original or replica? How was it to drive? I'm very, very jealous!

Replica, Tornado or KVA I recon.  In no way was this a road car.  Totally brutal driving experience, proper analogue driving; small cabin space, could hardly fit in the racing seat, cabin was hot, 45 degrees, you're a couple of inches away from a 5.8 litre Windsor engine, heavy clutch, gear change was long, brakes nonexistent, acceleration was ok, handling was superb.  It made a lot of drama about going quite fast.  But wow what an experience!

I'm thinking of buying one.

 

[C8RKH]

Even more jealous - thanks   I guess a car that was built for one thing, to beat Ferrari at Le Mans, will be a little uncompromising for the road.

I am assuming you can upgrade the brakes and also I believe you can add aircon - I was told it was essential!

Hasn't someone on here recently bought one? @Trevsked maybe?

[Mark Blanchard]

Tim B (doct93) used to have one.  Hasn't been on here for a while though.

Might buy this.  Can't fit in it, so would need to lower the floor and fit a Gurney bubble.

[Trevsked]

Yes I have a Superformance GT40. 
 

[C8RKH]

Beautiful!  Thank you

[Mark Blanchard]

Wow!  That looks stunning!  What's the Superformance like to drive?  Must be better than the thing I drove.
