Hi Pete Hope you find a nice replacement soon, and hope to see you at Combe in the near future, I'll drop you a mail as they come up.

cheers jim, don't think either of the replcements will be suited to combe, but could be funny to try

saw you parked right up at the other end of branksome tescos carpark the other day, chuckled as used to do the same

i noticed calv is selling up too!

Indeed he sold it to a guy from Belgium, and has taken delivery of the SC type 25 from Westovers, Cant say i'm jealous he still drives like a girl!!!

ha ha probably sold to the same guy! does he still run the same plate? if so i'll keep an eye out for him

[LRGS2]

Same plate just changed today!

I'm only driving like a girl whilst running in, although data logger shows 8650RPM after just 93 miles on the clock (not my doing)!!

Nice car SpeedyYellow - are you bringing that on the run on the 28th? Would love to have a closer look - looks awesome.

I too have let my beloved loti go as I was just not using it for months so made the painful decision - would still like to keep in touch though as the Lotus will always have a special place in my heart.

[cheekymonkey]

Anyone still posting on here from back in the day??

Some 5 years later I own a Lotus again - a slightly different choice

[HereBeMonsters]

Ooh. That looks like a fun project. Or is it just in need of a clean ?

[Beachbum]

Yep still here, few others are too.

So whats needs doing to it ?

[cheekymonkey]

Here's what needs doing to it....

[Beachbum]

Holy Crap Batman.
Would it not have been easier to just buy a mechano kit

[cheekymonkey]

It pretty much is just mechano isn't it? Can't be that hard this mechanic stuff

[Philygumbo]

I looked at this site for the first time in ages tonight. I still have my lotus and still intend to keep it forever.
Once you have done a restoration job you will have a very nice classic there.
Enjoy.
Phil.

Bloody hell, they're all coming out the woodwork, all we need now is for Twinpipe and Gooby to show up and it will be like going back 5yrs

BOLOC burger runs still take place with a few who are on SELOC. Alex G has a VX now.

My Grandad had one of those when they were launched

Wow! That is beautiful! I was toying with buying a convertible Élan a couple of years ago, it had a full restoration but hadn't been put together. That was meccano. When they have just been dismantled and left that is a jigsaw with with no picture and an unknown amount of pieces.
I would love to help (if you need a hand!)
I still have my 111r. I have been throwing vast amounts of money at it recently. Still needs a bit more work, like all the greatest money pits!

So hello to all the surviving BOLOC's!
How are you all?

We dont hear from you for year, then you reply to 2 different threads. I think someone hacked this account and is pretending to be the person I think you should be

Has anything happened in that year?

Anyway Philly sent me a link to the thread via FB.

I think you are forgetting something, who on earth would pretend to be me, even I pretend to be someone else when no one is looking!
