Bye bye BOLOC's... tis a sad day...
Discussion
After 4.5years of ownership & many, many miles & smiles I made the hard choice to sell the Liz as it just wasn't getting the use it deserved of late.
I couldn't have asked for a better sale. I advertised it last sunday, got a call that afternoon & she was collected today & is off to Belgium to a really ncie chap who runs a company specialising in conversions of Lotus to LHD. The car will actually be for him not a customer & will be converted.
Obviously I'll keep an eye on the forums now & again, but a big thanks to all the folks that have made my ownership an even more satifying time. all the BOLOC's, Chris@westover, Paul @ Lotus on track, motorsport vision & twinpipe for inventing twinpipping
At least I've got a big empty garage now so it's time to have a cabinent reshuffle of my current fleet & get some new toys... watch this space
cheers all.

Well it's bench run in so one more oil change and full service is on... should be top 600's now... about as much as is possible to push out of a carb fed 70's V8!
Does now sound like a race powerboat rather than a car!
New business venture - charge to be taken out by a nutter, in a mad car Does now sound like a race powerboat rather than a car!

Cheers Gooby, yeah no point it being sat there, I just don't seem to have any spare time these days to just go for those silly 100mile detours to get milk.Speedy - that is so fookin ugly, I love it.
I've got some plans up my sleeve, something nice & new for everyday practical driving & a bucket of rust & bits for the garage to work on over time...
oh yeah... & everyone in bournemouth is suddenly buying black S2's... so damn common i gotta change, these pesky copy cats
