You'll be pleased to know that the book is being orked on daily. After some of his friends passing I think Dad realises he should get this all down in writing.

When I look at the photo, I can't help but think of the scene in the lift in one of the Pink Panther movies. :getmecoat:

It will cover his early years and personal fight with TB, through Jag, Lotus, GM, Lambo, Tata and his time in Russia, through to his return to Lotus (but may not include those years) and will include loads of exclusive photo's like the one above, from his own personal collection. I like to think that this one is pretty Gangsta but shows the 2 top guys in the company and really shows the essence of their friendship, business relationship and what MJK would call his mentorship. to Colin. He's almost emulating him but looking at him almost seeking approval.

 

I have enjoyed that photo for years :)

Hello Bibs,

 

The editor of a very well known and respected auto magazine that is read very widely was kind enough to spend a day with me not long ago.  

 

We had a great chat, both being car guys, about events at some of the car Companies I have had the privilege of working with. This will be the article coming out.

 

I can say no more at this time and am looking forward to the outcome very much myself. I have been incredibly lucky in having had the best mentors in the auto industry throughout my career, all starting with an apprenticeship. Glad to see that million's more are planned.

 

Keep up the great Lotus Forum work Bibs-look forward to talking tomorrow re. your headline. Guess I ought to really get on with scribing!.

The old boy looks very menacing in that pic..... it's like CC is saying to him "see that chap over there?...... I'd like you to shoot him for me...... I'll see you in the bar in 20 minutes"

He wants to start it at his career start at Jag. Buy the above Magazine and it gives you some great info about his time there.
