  1. Hi Filip, Thanks again for hosting this. I am closer to you and I will most likely only be able to make it for one day and back in the same day, so please go ahead with whichever day suits you and most of your more distant guests better.
  2. Thanks for the pictures, @jep. Excuse my ignorance, but what car is it in the last picture?
  3. The cars look great but that lift… hard to judge from the picture but isn’t it a bit “home made”??
  4. I thought Andy and me were over stretching your kindness but a TLF day in Leuven sounds good to me! I just need to find a suitable car to join the party now. I don’t think Luxembourg’s beer can compete with yours either. 😀
  5. That is very kind. I may well abuse your hospitality. I would love to learn to do some basic mechanic stuff in an older car and, as stated above, yours post are inspiring to get into those dark arts. I did try to do some basic mechanical training in Luxembourg but did not find anything. I did consider the Matra, further to our exchange of posts, but I would not have any where to store it, and these days it would not see much use with me, being realistic. Maybe, if you struggle to sell it, we can discuss next year, in time for my 50th birthday. 😉
  6. Wow. From strength to strength. You will soon need a work planner for your workshop. 😁 From previous posts I thought the Bagheera was yours as an in-kind recognition for your assistance when freeing that warehouse/garage. That says even more about you, if you spent all that time on someone else’s car. Thanks for your thoughts on the car’s abilities, too.
  7. Oh, so you moved the Bagheera on, already. I thought you still had work to do on it. Will it stay in Belgium or is it heading back to France?
  8. I do not want to derail the thread, but that sounds like a win-win, if you manage to have some fun sorting the cars and relocating them among your friends/contacts. This is a great thread, by the way, and shows the affinity between Lotus and other brands of cars developed against all odds. I can see myself identified with some of the options of the op. An Elan +2, a Bagheera, an Elise S1, S3, a Mazda Rx-8 or an original Mini could fill my garage one day. Trouble is, I can’t decide! To try to stay on topic, I know someone in the French Lotus club, working in a high position for a very large manufacturer who says that if he had to keep one car it would be the Elan… (he owns an Elise S1, two Elans and has driven/owned a load of hot cars)
  9. Your posts are as useful and informative as always and I sense you are warming to the Bagheera and Matras more generally, Filip @Escape. 🙂
  10. So, Filip, where are the pictures of the event and your impressions of how it drives? 😁

    Doesn’t look like Spa
  12. @Seb Sorry to read about your misfortunes. I think it is too easy to blame it on reckless drivers and Internet mythology and legends. Personally I have driven almost 500,000 Kms. on the four cars I currently own and the only one that has needed three clutches and a rebuild of the gearbox is the Evora at just over 67,000 Kms. Just for curiosity and future reference, did you fix your car in Slovenia?
  13. …how many times did they write “available”?
  14. Thanks @steamdriven I did have my forks/selectors replaced in 2017, after one failed (there is a thread about it on here). Komotec installed the reinforced ones at the time (or so I was told) and a new OEM clutch that disintegrated this summer... My gear changes have actually become more precise with the new clutch, but I have to admit I am super careful and the noise-vibration (which was already there) has also become more intense with the new clutch. I just hope I am not facing another engine out job shortly. I do not know whether it is better to pray or cross my fingers...
  15. I have some of that, too, and it is a bit more present now, after my recent clutch "upgrade". I would be grateful if you could share any conclusions / guess on this as you progress on your car.
