cbclotus Posted February 6, 2018 Report Share Posted February 6, 2018 Hi Gotti ...What a fantastic looking car you have .you must be very proud to have owned restored the car ...Mike 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frb Posted February 6, 2018 Report Share Posted February 6, 2018 (edited) Gotti, now that the resto has finished you´ll be very, very bored with nothing to work on... No, just joking of course. Really glad the car turned out so well and you (hopefully) can finally enjoy DRIVING the car once the winter has gone in our neck of the woods . @lotus-62 , as I´m living close to @Gotti we could organise a local TLF Lotus festival in Hartberg .

lotus-62 Posted February 7, 2018 Report Share Posted February 7, 2018 Gotti, I will, believe me I will. I have been to the lotus museum a few time's when I was visiting a customer in knittelfeld (öBB) I always took a detour through bad aussee to visit Jozef. (last time was 2 months ago) unfortunately that machine at öbb has now been moved to hungary. I went to the bergthrophy 2 years ago, lovely meeting with nice cars. this is what I call a hillclimb, 6 miles up the mountain to the top I plan on going this year again if the weather is good.
