Spotted: Lotus Carlton, Lower Earley, Reading

[zhead77]

Hi all,

There's a Lotus Carlton parked around the corner from my office in Lower Earley, anyone on here? There's usually an Aston Martin V8 Vantage there as well.....

Just wanted to say - the Carlton looks bloomin' lovely. Mint as well.

Cheers,

Neil

I put a thread on Lotus site last week,followed a fast one through Wokingham shame I was in the wifes car or he would have been pushed a bit.

My companies down by the Auto Trader building. I think it's dark green (must admit I only saw the back - he had me on Lower Earley way) B13 **** beginning reg I think.

The Aston that parks at the company is v nice as well, must speak to that company soon.....

Looks like I might have to start meeting with fellow PH'ers for lunch drinks :-)

Oh which company do u work for? I live almost opposite those buildings!

I work for KP - on the cutbush park estate.

I used to live on Farnsfield just over the road too, made getting into work very easy and at least meant I didn't spend a fortune on petrol....;-)

hi all. I to have seen the lovely car. It was at a piston heads meet at virginia water. (carefull to spell it right) and if you think it looks mint on the outside you should see the inside and under the bonnet. I really recomend every one goes there too see it. Hopefully it will be there next time.

I too work on the Cutbush Estate - drive past that Aston dailey, reg is ANO5LEY or something like that. That Lotus Carlton has not been out since the weather turned (funny that lol) Its in superb condition though. There is also a spooky Vauxhall Senator that parks there sometimes - which is like new, absolutely mint - might be the same guy?

Also on the same road (Danehill) there is often a blue E39 M5 outside the Autotrader building which is mint. Theres also a brand new White M3 going round Lower Early at the minute, looks like an estate agent - actually pretty much like the image Clarkson portrayed on Top Gear lately

[zhead77]

That M5 looks great.

The aston still takes my vote though.......great looking motor
