Well the Lotus has left me, sold to the highest bidder. I am now without a Lotus for the first time since 2004!!! I booked a track day this weekend in Wales, and I'm without a Lotus!! It was meant to be a good weekend away but I just have the MG-ZR now. I don't feel "part of the community" now!

What am I going to do????????????????????????????????????????

I've met some fantastic people here and I can honestly say, this place along with the meets has made me feel happy in a "sad "part of my life. Driving is an important part of my life and I can honestly say driving a Lotus has been the highlight of my  "career".

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone. This is a fantastic place to be even if it stems from cyberspace!!

Shocked??  I feel sick, lonely infact! The Wales midnight run still comes as one of the great times! I've modded the MG to around 190bhp, but it's no Lotus!

Mine is also up for sale ... so can understand the feeling

[PeterField]

Blimey Mike, where did that come from?  Hope everything's ok mate and the sale was planned?

Don't be a stranger anyway, keep in touch.  Hope you're 'back in the fold' sometime soon.

I expected this to be another thread about your clutch, Mike

Why sell?  If it's financial then you could pick up a decent S1 for £7k or less

I only met you on the midnight run Mike, but I thought that car was a grafted-on part of you!!

I bet you'll be back in one again in the future.

[ExigeLaura]

shocked to read this too Mike, hope everything is ok and you make another lotus purchase in the future.

Mike - Noooo!  Now who are we going to cheer on around redgate at Donny?  You are a legend there

There's always a px seat in mine if you ever fancy a run, albeit a little more sedately driven than yours!

[surrealillusions]

So when you getting the next one then?

Well stay in touch whatever happens, I will miss your insane driving - I've never driven the Evo triangle so fast trying to keep up with you!

Did you just get fed up with having to fix it all the time in the end?

You racing next year?

Cheers Dave, I'll miss the car and all the trouble that came with it. It was fantastic fun to drive and as you know bloody quick once I got the suspension set up as it should.

Steve, Ironically, the clutch was just fine since the genuine article was refitted!

I sold it for a reason, that reason remains a secret at the moment!

Passengering with you Mike, was a truly memorable experience....here's to hoping you'll reappear soon with something even more manic than the 111r
