....for my garage. At last, I've resurfaced the entire garage floor with dedicated interlocking garage tiles. Made by a company called Ecotile, they're pretty much the best in the business and worth every penny (whatever a penny is 🤔).....

Yeah - we're looking forward to that too. Matt Windle sounds like a very interesting guy (there's an excellent article about Matt and Lotus in this month's car magazine), so getting the latest info direct from the horse's mouth (so to speak) should be riveting.

Oooh, interesting. Those road markings are trying to tell us something - hmmmmmmm. How's the Evora Phil? I'm still loving mine, which was six years old in March - definitely a keeper 👍.

We were there at the reveal of the Evija too. I say reveal very loosly because of the format of the showing - shepherded into the viewing booth in complete darkness with the car behind glass, then some very load background music, lots of flashing lights with tiny glimpses of the car, culminating in all lights on for less a second, then complete darkness again. End of reveal!! Ahhh well, at least it was "entertaining", and seeing even a fully disguised 131 might just be worth it 😍.

Hey all I've just booked tickets for Goodwood FOS on Thursday 8th - yes - and if the rumours are correct, we'll be in for a very special surprise on that very day - can't wait! Also got a spot in the Supercar West car park, so am a very smiley boy just at the mo 😀😀😀😀😀. Anyone else going on Thursday?

Hey, that was me! Perfecting that lumbar support was made easier by having access to some Recaros (aka finest car seats on the planet), and precisely modelling the ProBax lumbar area on Recaro's. The end result was startlingly good. Full days of driving (literally hundreds of miles) and not a single back ache at all. With the ProBax in their unmodified state, I'd get hideous sciatica after every short trip!! In fact, I've done the same mod on every Elise / Exige variant I've owned over the last 14 years - all 7 of 'em.

Hmmm - does make you wonder why a decent spec. Evora is now around 90 grand when it's all so modular and "easy" to put together - 🤭.

Exciting - can't wait to see it 🤩. Merry Christmas to all MLOCers (and hopefully a much Happier New Year too 🎉).

I did the same full day course a few years back and Martin Donnelly was my instructor for the day. Great bloke with lots of really fun stories from the old days. Was good fun though and I learnt a fair bit, including the secrets of weight transfer to get that front-end to really bite! Ooooh, nice. And the demo lap by Martin was, ahem, shall we say, exciting!

"Flat" logos are, apparently, very trendy right now. Can't imagine why, but these 'ere marketing guys obviously think that joining the flat earth trendies indicates a progressive and modern company! Sadly, it just looks a bit "fifties" to me 🤨.

Order just gone in - thanks!

Hey, where did you get your plates made up Pete (number plates, that is - not dinner plates 🍴)? I need some new acrylic ones for the Evora but the bods who made up my last pair for the Elise (which do have that lovely Lotus logo on the right) have disappeared 😟. You can PM if it's not for general knowledge (don't want to get 'em into trouble 🚔).
