Tony Posted April 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 Right here we go...... Two hours there..... Three hours back. What idiot decided to look at a car the other side of the M25 on a bank holiday weekend :nowink:  Anyhoo it's the real deal, so a deposit has been excepted :laughingsmiley:  Traffic...... Don't talk to me about that  Engine looks clean with loads of history regarding belts and so on  Here's the Turbo thingy  Next is loads of me snapping away       I was warned to check the drive train for oil..... to me this is just resudue       And finally my ugly mug ( fury face and all ) once the deal was sealed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scorps Posted April 5, 2010 Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 What is he hiding under the black centre console....why not same colour as interior?  IIRC do these have a seperate caliper for the H/Brake assembly thingy.  Why choose the turbo model........more to go wrong than a N/A car  Is that a cracked O/S rear lense i can see :laughingsmiley:   Nice car though  Thats not traffic!......you should go over on a Friday afternoon you'll grow a full beard instead of a 5 o/c shadow. :nowink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for "just out of bed" well no..... Although the owner of the car is a copper who hit me with a stun gun which i thought was a rather odd welcome :nowink: How "He laughed" afterwards...... very funny.

hms Posted April 5, 2010 Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 Nice one Tony, when do you get your hands on it?  http://www.sinclairebodyshop.co.uk/contact.html is one advertiser on the SELOC forums. This name keeps popping up on the fora, so seems to be approved.  I found this list on Lotus central, if you scroll down you get a list of independant garages,  http://www.lotus-central.com/en/lotuslinks.html  Nearest seems to be Stece Williams Sports Cars in Maidenhead.  hth h Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
