A BIG THANK YOU!
Discussion
Well let me start with the last one.......
..... after Sundays `Devon Dash`, I thought it only fit to pop a little post on here to say thank you to every single one of you that turned up to "My last run" (in my current elise
).
Whether you knew me and came along to say goodbye or just turned up to enjoy the run, thank you!
I can officially say that it was the longest (391.6miles), most well attended (20 cars over the course of the day, and 18 at one point!!!) and most enjoyable run that we have ever done!
The weather was perfect, despite the bombardment of hail and snow thru Somerset! (which actually creased me up
) Thank you to minidiva for pointing out her roof every time I looked in the rear view mirror!
I know alot of you had made prior arrangements and had various family commitments, but the fact that you turned up and took part in some of the day really, really touched me! You truely made my day!
I bought my Elise in January last year after wanting one for 8 or 9 years. I never expected that I was also subscribing to a social life filled with such a mixure of Lotus loving people. My first taste of Lotus social life was with SELOC, a run in Oxford and a good one it was too. Immediately I was hooked. I carried on with Seloc for quite a while doing runs all over the place, even one on the Isle of Wight!
Then I discovered the BoLOCs! And I have never looked back! The fact that it is usually the same people on every run/meet meant that I could slowly build up great friendships with you all.
With the Bolocs growing further and further afield. My only regret is that I didn`t meet you all sooner. I am lucky to have shared some of the best days in my life with you all, days that will live with me for the rest of my life.
Breakfasts, Runs and Track days, I have them all on video and photos on file. But most of all I have them in my heart. Memories that make me smile every time I think about them.
You guys are great.
All I have left to do now in my little beast is Bedford next friday, so I`ll make it a good one.
I`ll pop a few piccys up when i have more time, but for now............
Thank you.

Stu, it was a huge pleasure to be part of your last run. I thoroughly enjoyed the day, it was just insanely super-tastically awesome. I felt proud to be be part of such a big group, you must feel choked to know it was all for you! (but we all know it don't take much to get the Bolocs out for a blast!)
Orange & I look forward to the return of Lotustuart in your next Elise, don't leave it too long though. We'll miss you leading us through the country lanes and around blind bends, p1ssing off anyone we overtake!
Hope to keep in touch with you, with or without Lotus! We look forward to the invasion of the MX5 at the Boloc breafast meets!

As Mini said it was a huge pleasure to be involved in your last run in this car. I agree totally with you about the BOLOCs. This will definitely not be the end of your association with us, we have your phone number don't we. You can't get away. There is also a little matter of a house warming somewhere over Hedge End way. I just worry that when you do get another Lotus it will be even faster and we won't be able to keep up. I don't see this as the end of anything, just a pause for breath. I'll see you Thursday mate.

Stuart, Thank you, very honestly and sincerely.
Every time we meet up you are such a positive element of the day that we are all guaranteed to enjoy it all the more. I feel honoured that such a top bloke would spend time with us.
I know you will be back.
Sarah, please bring him round to dinner soon, I would love you guys to meet Mrs Gooby!

Hey Stuart
Great post fella - and although I've only recently come along, I know exactly what you're talking about. Special innit?
By the way, my highlight of yesterday was... well, you know that part but your huge grin and double thumbs up in my mirror as we wound down was classic!
Top bloke. See you soon
