well here she is in all her glory.

 

unfortunately i have let the zed go, i have spent all year working on her and she was sucking too much cash out of me day in day out.

 

i have chosen the lotus as i have always liked them, its a 1983 turbo esprit with only 47k on the clock full history since the day it was sold!

 

all services done rigorously and by lotus specialists so all is ok, im in the middle of changing the exhaust system for a newer sport system, upgrading brakes and re-doing all the pipework and fuel lines.

 

i did have fun in the zed but now its time for me to try something else out, and its cheaper to run and insure than the zed, and as i am now on the lotus owners club i get a good discount on parts.

 

i have enjoyed every minute of being in this club , from the first meet onwards, i have however no need yet to stand down as welsh reo.

 

i still plan on coming to meets as i have made many friends and contacts and i would not wish to lose them.

 

i will still be in here posting away and i will still renew my subs, i have yet to head up north to catch up with mac, vinz, and a few others.

 

so until the next meet!

 

heres a few piccies.

 

si

Nice motor Si.

Good luck with all your planned mods.

Nice to hear you'll be sticking around.

I like the turbo's, that one looks nice and clean, they go like stink. Very nice

:D Very nice and in the correct colour too. Sorry you had to get rid of the Zed tho I'd want to keep both but maybe I'm just greedy when it comes to nice cars LOL

 

Glad you are staying around :D as I haven't had the chance to meet you yet :cry:

 

Keep posting and enjoy :D :D

Nice Car Shame to see another one sold up, But i understand where your coming from !
