OMG too much information!!! Although I guess there are worse places to stick a tatoo!!

[iainskea]

I have 998 'You have been spotted' LEF cards that have been dislodged from their organised pile and now can be found in every corner of the house.

By coincidence, I have a tattoo which reads 'Loser'.

Except when I'm hooning, when it says 'Lotus Esprit Turbo'.

Back on topic:

- A couple of Esprit model cars and show trophies in the entertainment room

- Esprit book on the coffee table

- Spare bedroom full of S1 interior waiting to go back in the car

- Couple of Esprit articles on a magazine rack in the loo

- Computer desktop

- A few spare parts in a box by the sliding door, should be out in the garage

- A couple of Lotus T-shirts in the dresser

- The occasional hub carrier + wheel bearing in the oven (when Patty is at work) . . . . . .

My Lotus accessories are mainly books, Colin Chapman- The Man and his Cars by Jabby Crombac, Colin Chapman- Wayward Genius (can't remember the author's name), The History of Lotus, 1948 to 1960 by Ian Phillips, The History of Lotus, 1961 to 1970 by Doug Nye, Lotus Engineering by Hugh Chamberlain, Flying on the Ground (Emerson Fittipaldi biography), Mario Andretti by Nigel Roebuck, Jochen Rindt by Heinz Pruller, various books on Graham Hill, My, It was Fun by Tony Rudd and Lotus Esprit by Jeremy Walton are the ones that spring to mind. Some of the titles may be incorrect. Must get round to finishing my 1:12 scale model of a Lotus 49.

Never thought about it, but after doing a mental walk through I'd have to say there is something Lotus in almost every room of the house. Only room missing anything is the small vanity and that is because it is being remodeled.

Garage: Esprit, Elise, Type 61, (soon to be replaced by a shiney new 2-11), enough spare bits to build something or other, posters, trophies from various car shows, Team L.O.S.T. (Lotus Owners of South Texas), race banner, ACBC flag, assorted ball caps, and a RC Exige.

Den: Books, magazines, models, posters, more trophies, photos, and some nostalgic blown bits from the Esprit and race car.

Master Bedroom: ball caps, watches, tee shirts by the ton, and an artisitcally framed poster. The wifes doing on the last bit.

Spare bedroom: posters that have not found a better place for the moment, more models

Bathroom: reading material

Kitchen: key fobs, reading material

Living Room: more trophies, coffee table books, frmed photos

Dining room: absolutely nothing allowed in there.

Hallways: photos

Bathrooms: reading materials and a couple of posters.

Did I miss anything?
