phil flash 150 Posted June 14, 2019 Report Share Posted June 14, 2019 Any photos? Shame it moved to 2nd Thursday and now clashes with Essex, Herts & Cambridge meets.

oilmagnet477 747 Posted June 14, 2019 Report Share Posted June 14, 2019 @phil flash I took a couple of photos (albeit at dusk!) of Clive's Elite, Paul's Éclat and Neil's Elise. When I can work out how to get the pictures off my phone, I'll post them. Thanks again Clive for breaking my Elite 'virginity' with a quick spin out - very inspiring! Be good to see you sometime Phil if you can ever manage to work it into your diary. PS - I didn't lend you my copy of Oliver Winterbottom's book did I? I'm blowed if I can find it! PPS when TF did you get an Evora - we definitely need to see that! Is the price for that bit in Yen or £? Link to post Share on other sites
Popular Post oilmagnet477 747 Posted June 15, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted June 15, 2019 First off - apologies for the dire photos - my cheapskate phone isn't great at dusk! @clivef38 Lovely Elite @paulho Lovely Éclat (with a dodgy 4.0lt V8 Mk2 Rangie photo-bombing the shot!) Neil's Lovely Elise Great to meet ex-Lotus Roger and his Son Neil (owner of the above). Sadly Roger's beautifully restored Europa wasn't present but maybe one day! We did get to see a nice magazine article all about it though. 3 Is the price for that bit in Yen or £? Link to post Share on other sites

I brought my copy along to show you in case you wanted to buy one, which you obviously did. I also have Nigel Bennet and Keith Duckworth in that series, which I'd recommend. PPS ..

Actually I was roaring around a bit last night! After the last "do" at Hethel I sort of felt I needed a bit of a break from the Esprit. Id been messing around with her for over 10 years now. Recently seeing her in the garage looking all nice made me get under her and change the water pipe that had been chaffing slightly on the cam belt. Been adjusting the carbs and she was driving pretty sweet last night! Hows your Elite? Nearly there? buddsy "Belief is the enemy of knowing" - Crrow777 Link to post Share on other sites

Still battling on but I've been feeling much the same about mine lately as you appear to have been about yours. A trip out in @clivef38's Elite last week was a real boost though so hoping to get back at it in the near future. Having her slip off the axle stands when trying to refit passenger shock/spring was a little un-nerving but everything came through unscathed 1 Is the price for that bit in Yen or £?
