Lets hope Laura doesn't as well!!!!

 

Must admit I keep receipts for everything I've bought or work I've had done....if it doesn't feel right, then wait for the "one" to turn up.....

 

**** if gav's computers working that is******

There is a nice looking 135r in yellow advertised on seloc for a fair bit less than that red 'un.

Receipts for everything on mine... and logs for fuel against mileage!

 

As for HGF, my S1 is on something like 54K and -touching everything wood all around me- is fine. I'm hoping the PRRT will keep it that way.

 

Enjoy the car hunting and haggling though. It's the second most exciting bit after just driving it! ...and welcome to MLOC.

Keith, you need to come out with us more often..... :-)

[kayj_prod]

Ha ha. Generally need to get out more often making nerd comments like that I think!

 

I whizzed down to London and back on Monday night- 300 miles, sub 6 hours including a stop each way and numerous diversions off the A1 thanks to road works. She's not even shouting REFILL at me! (I might even have touched 5000 RPM occasionally too!)

You may have seen it is the monthly fish meeting on tuesday. Solihull would be a bit of a trek to ravenshead but i can meet you at the services at j11 on the 42 and you could grab a lift?

 

There would be plenty there to have nose at what is there so you could get a good feel for what to look for?

I am delighted to say that I have placed a deposit on a gorgeous silver 135R with only 9800 miles!

I spotted it on PH last night and following a trip today to Glastonbury a deal was done.

Can't wait to pick it up. What a journey from 'must have' a 111S with a hardtop to an almost new 135R with manual windows and acres of alcantara.

Here it is http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds?Category=used-cars&Keyword=135r&KeywordCleanedValue=135r&MaxPrice=15000&MinPrice=14000&ShowSoldCars=True

Let the fun begin....

[smithpaulg]

Well done!

 

Looks good, i assume you are grinning from ear to ear? (We've all done it - and still do). Except Russell the other Sunday

That looks mega. I love the 135r. One of the best ever elises imo. A very safe place to put your money I reckon.

 

Now get signed up for Chatsworth on the 21st July!

Have lotus must travel.....

 

Good man......

[jody391]

Nice, very nice!

[Alex B]

wicked, sounds like you've got a good one hope to see you and the car at the fish meet on tuesday?

[Martin R]

Nice, you cant beat an S2 limited edition. A bit of head porting and it will make a nice 150 / 160 Its always a good reason to hope for HGF. Put a PRT on it as a first mod. The LSS is also a bit harsh but bearable. Enjoy.
