Monster V8 - Kent

[Bibs]

In my drive!

I'm very pleased to have finally met Mike Sekinger after so many years of talking online, a real pleasure. We also went out in the monster V8 he's currently working on and it's going to be a beast, it's enough of one now and that's with the boost turned down. The engine looked lovely, a work of art and I'm pleased to have met someone who could talk Esprits as much as me, but has had so many so much nicer than mine!

Did you manage to get in the seats? I know I couldn't!!

[Petrol feet driven]

Very nice.. Someone who could talk Esprits as much as you, wow let the battle commence.

I fit in the seats OK Mat, it was snug but I think I could use them ongoing although perhaps a long drive might be tiring in them as they don't offer much cushioning. The cage is excellent, I like it although I'd imagine it would be really cramped with a helmet on.

COOL

Brrrrrooooooommmmmmmmmmm...........!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love it, completely useless for me as I'd never fit in it but I still love it.

It looks just right, I'm glad you've made it over safe mike.

How did it sound? Not heard the flat plane crank Esprits ever...

Thanks Bibs and Simon,

was great to finally meet up after all this time and share some hours just chatting about all things Lotus. To say it's in your blood would be a huge understatement.... you live and breath Lotus and I think that the next couple of years are going to be very exciting.

The car is now safely in the hands of the factory, but I'm stuck at the Airport as we are snowed in and nothing is flying.

I do have an image of Bibs in the car (which I'll post later), for those who don't actaully believe that he would fit !

Hope to make it for the evening of the 4th.

Cheers,

Mike S

Is that a crotch strap in your pocket, or are you just pleased to see me?

I've not seen Bibs look that sinister for quite some time.

I assume you didn't leave the keys in it?
