Buongiorno!

[ALC 63]

Hello there, am I the first Italian on this forum? Who cares anyway...

I'm 45, and I live in Turin, Italy - the Italian motortown.

I love sports car, I LOVE Lotus and since I was a child I have always been fascinated by the Lotus Eleven.

That was my top car until I have seen the first 2-Eleven. She's top for me now!

Just 2 years ago I managed to get my first Lotus, a lovely 1998 S1 Elise in LRG.

She's my pride and joy but....before getting too old I really want to own a road-legal 2-Eleven...

This is the beginning of the journey...

This is me with the Eleven at LMC this summer

That's my Elise (lovely, isn't she?)

Cheers

Welcome to the forum Andrew

I hope to be heading to Turin next year with another 50 Esprits in convoy, hope to see you then

[ALC 63]

Hello Bibs, let me know when then...

BTW: are you going to the Italdesign HQ? Mr. Giugiaro still works there..

It's just 15 minutes drive from my place...give me a shout if you need some helps with the accomodation

Hope to see ya around then!

We're popping to see him and his silver Esprit prototype, the 'Kiwi' he showed at Geneva many years ago, we're on a pilgrimage

I don't think you'll want us all to stay but we're looking for locations for BBQ food and beer

Welcome to the forum.Hope you succeed in your quest for a 2-11. It is well worth whatever it takes to own one. Beg steal or borrrow the money. Sell the Ferrari it is worth it.

Welcome to the forum. That is a gorgeous 11 in the photo. Excellent bunch of people here, even if in the wrong geographical location, (snicker, grin), and a great place to get help with any and all 2-11 questions.

Hope you get yours soon.

Ciao!

Thank you all,

I'm liking this forum very much - less crowdy than SeLoc and (of course) more focused on the Beast!

Bibs - plenty of excellent places for food and beer around, don't worry.

I'd love to join the convoy and show you some really cool secondary roads in the area...

[Bibs]

You're on!
