What happened Jim ?
Lost you after we had filled up, turned right after the bridge at the lights and didn't see you again.
Hope both of you are unhurt and OK.

Sorry we couldn't make it guys - one of us was too hungover (not me!!)

Can we get together again soon ( perhaps when the widgit-mobile is better?) and gun those engines?

Alternatively, who's up for a 1st. Lotus track day? 4 people = about £110 each, for a full day of one-to-one tuition on whatever you want to learn - oversteer/understeer control, and proper heel + toeing for me. Let's do it this winter, to save our tyres a bit.

Who's interested?

dented pride, but otherwise no one hurt, thanks for your concern.

I'm just going to have to live vicariously (you can tell i'm at work - using long words) through this forum for now... I still feel like such a pratt!

63L...... I get that but thats after sticking 10L down the side of the Car! And it takes 10mins to get that far.

Nubbin - sounds great, maybe not for a couple of w/ends yet though - other commitments.

Jigs -

My past two cars (both coupe's) have been variously called haidresser's cars! - The puma on the TT forum and the TT on this forum, maybe it's just me?


Anyone know what the actual size of the Petrol tank is - I've seen 63L and 56L quoted, I made a bit of a mess first time filling up and only got 44L in. Need more practice

3.5K labour + parts - haven't seen the parts list yet - but it includes a new nose/wings section. I was advised not to get my hopes up for seeing it again before Christmas

My no-claims is protected, but I guess my insurance will still go up a little when I come to renew as I will have had an accident - anyone know if this is the case?

I've got my wifey's Puma for now - still better than the TT I p/xed for the T350.

I wonder if HHC will wrap my T350 up in a bow and deliver it for christmas day

Hello Widjit

The parts arrive from Blackpool this week still looking like I'll be lucky to get it back before the seasonal festivities have ended.

Missing it though. Driving round in relatively dull cars for a while is making me appreciate even more just how special it is. I helped my mum buy a '98 VW passay estate this week and I though that was nice - I need my car back
