Just ask where too are they and I'm sure the friendly folk will cwtch you in and make you feel at home. Chunky Lover Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don't use it myself, don't really get it at all either, but hey ho... There's lots of us Welsh folk Kev. Myself and Punky are the two Welsh originals on the forum, Both of us have Esprits only, no Elige variants as yet. I'm in and around Cardiff, where you living?

punky 161 1 Vehicles Report post Posted February 10, 2015 Your welcome to pop over for a cuppa. I wouldn't mind taking a closer look at an Exige. My Esprit is always around and pretty much my daily drive if the weather's not too bad, although its going in for a spray job on the 23rd. 1 http://www.thelotusforums.com/forums/topic/8126-30-v6-conversion/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JayTwo 15 Report post Posted June 26 This week I've moved to the Ebbw Vale area, so consider me an addition to this group if you'll tolerate my wrong-side-of-the-border accent! I know there are others in the area, I was admiring a beautiful little white Elan at the Llangynidr show only last summer but didn't find the owner. Hopefully there'll be time left this summer for motoring meets and adventures, looking forward to meeting some new faces and cherished wheels. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dr_jayhart 59 3 Vehicles Report post Posted June 27 Morning JayTwo welcome to the right side of the boarder. Happy to meet up when things relax. I know a few owners around here and there is a good WhatsApp group of lotus types who have run outs. Lotus I think if you look for that you can find them? Have you joined LDC? What you driving? Ken in the WhatsApp group has a red s4 too. Stay safe. Jay 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lotus I think if you look for that you can find them? Have you joined LDC? What you driving? Good morning Jay, thank you! Yes, you're not far away, I look forward to crossing paths. I think WhatsApp groups are invitation-only, I've not found a way to search for them? I'll keep an eye out for any mention though. I've a fairly high-miler X180 Carb Turbo in the garage that's been with me nearly ten years now. It does have some S4 parts on it but no doubt Ken will spot plenty that aren't! Haven't joined LDC yet but I met Rob (Sport 350, Cardiff maybe?) a few years back at Castle Combe and someone else from the club let me join their stand so I know they're a friendly bunch. I've a lot of new roads to explore here too... have you any stand-out recommendations? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
