Well done toweringeagle you have dragged me out of internet apathy. With your grinding axe (must be the metallic squealing sound)you have kicked me into life.

I can only assume that this is your purpose, cause lets face it apart from some key players in both this forum and the GOC forum, I believe the majority of owners/racers/marquee fans are of the none contributing type.

As to the things you are talking about,......... sorry that was the pause where I contemplate taking the bait, but won't. Except to say welcome to the modern world, where the Walklett brothers have got a very respectful place in history, where without them we wouldn't be talking of Ginetta. Given the 'resource' would I add an Elise
to my 'stable' or a series 2/3 Elan - too right. Am I that bothered that the ownership bloodline is rather removed from Colin Chapman - NO. But the car bloodline is there. Didn't CChap./Lotus produced some pretty ropey models along the years?, much like Ginetta I think.

Toweringeagle - are you in the GOC then? If you are, I am interested to know why you have posted in a public forum? (em now let me think does the GOC need an public forum....?)

Hi Gee20,

There are not many users in the GOC forum at the moment!

Given that your 'real' name is Faquar Bristol-Smyth I would have thought that kinda 'bloodline' would allow you to buy both!!!

(lol) PRICELESS!
