Oh what a perfect day
Discussion
Just had to tell everyone how much I love my Elise.
Drove down to to Hexham today, A68, very quiet for a bank holiday, top off, shades on.
Straight in to a parking space in the main street wide enough to get out the car. A wonder around the shops, picked up a new holdall for the yet to be planned extended trips.
Went back to the car to make sure it fits, and the yellow peril are circling the car. Oh NO!!Didn't see the pay and display
"That's a good looking car Sir, wouldn't look right with a fixed penilty notice on it. Save yourself £30, the machines over there" Score!
Back north through Bellingham and Otterburn, Kids shouting "Nice car," Sunshine, Twisties, Views, Oh what a perfect day.

I went for a small spin earlier and this pensioner starts gesturing me to "give it some welly!" I dipped the clutch and revved her a little and he gave me a huge smile and the thumbs up.
Roads are a bit busy here today but I set out at 8 am in the poonjero and the place was deserted, I had a great time driving a poonjero like a lotus and drifting the dinosaur across roundabouts.... woooo hooooo!

Gooby - you better come to Bedford soon. At least I suspect, you won't have quite as much opportunity to poke fun at my driving.
I promise to wave every time I lap you. (over half a minute quicker than my earlier Bedford attempts it would seem) My epiphany seems to be happening.
Oh Jake, checked the video, you must have gotten me mixed up with Guy in an identical laser blue elise.

This just in; shangani looking real GOOD 
at Bedford until Walshy's extra weight 
slowed him down on the straight http://media.putfile.com/Bedford-14-A
Edit to say both cars are 100% same base spec and mods.

Nice post Blaque and great to hear you're enjoying your car.
Also good to see Lotustuart giving his car an appropriate send off.
Sad for the guy with the TT engined car at Bedford that appears to have been written off after the fire.
I popped down to our shop last night to pick up some ice cream
1 mile there,1 minute in the shop, 1 mile back. Took me half an hour!!

drool....
Had a great Lotus oriented weekend so far.
- Friday @ Bedford with the guys (thanks for the pax laps Shang - you are no mobile chicane my friend).
- Saturday KentLotus Fish & Chip run yesterday which was awesome. 20 cars and a great route (if I may be so bold
)...
- Today a day off on the beers
- Tomorrow, PH meet at the Woodman
Awesome. Also decided that El Beasty is back on the market, it's time to get the ball rolling on the EB3 project. No point in putting it off any longer, heart says he stays, head says it's time for him to be loved by someone else. Will be a wrench but if I can get a good price and EB3 comes off it will be well worth it.

Great to see you there Tim. When I finally got my brakes sorted in the late afternoon, I did have some fun. I looked back at some old video by Hans vs yesterday's efforts. At least it looks a bit faster now. I felt well chuffed when I left - great day out and huge fun. Need another day out soon though.
