FAO Northants Lotus tifosi

[mark r skinner]

Dropped the Cerb back at Guglielmi today. Got some snaps of this mentalist machine -







"Between 320 & 360 horses, but eventually near to 400."

Is it worth me posting these over on the Elise forum?

pretty awesome bit of kit that, they've got a 260 and a 300hp audi conversion elise in there too, bit pricey for me though 11K

Here's my car.. I live only a mile away from Guglielmi



Road legal and kicking out 360bhp from an Audi 1.8t as fettled by the Guglielmi lads.. It weight next to nothing too, with everything lightened/drilled down to 750kg

it looks not disimilar to TonyD's

ETA, looking at Tony's profile, was that not his car?

That`s the "Raunds Run Out." The "Northants run" is March 4th. Both events are open to all. See events forum for a (huge) list of runners and riders.

Yet another senior moment for me - I saw Tony's car in his garage at home and can't remember it being black, mind you that was a couple of years ago and he probably has had a couple of them, he also had Rocket at the time, I think that Lutus was blue (?)

Yaahooo !
I was right - just looked at Tony's profile in answer to Mark's question - blue, yes blue

[matt172]

he's been on loads of Northants runs, owned a Black Murci, a yellow 360 with a horrendous amount of BHP, a couple of mental minis 260bhp+ and a carbon fibre bodied motorsport Elise (the blue one that sporting bear mentioned) which I think is the one that went up in flames, but I might be wrong

he's still got rocket, but the murci has gone now, and I think the blue one has also gone

[matt172]

this is the Lotus



and Rocket



and the muckylargo

Oh dear, not so good for me, I thought the blue Elise sat even lower (probably saw it when it was set up for track use) and I thought Rocket was red, but then unless they're blue I always remember Ferraris as red - could that be old age

I've only been on the Northants run that started from Dove House (Mark and Ina) Rushden, but I was totally distracted as the out of place trade-in SAAB that was there that I should have recognised as it belong to someone I knew who had just bought a 911 from Dove

Talking of which I was in the GT6 behind the Elises until I turned off wrong before Newport Pagnell

was that the one when it rained, and Mark started up his RSR in the showroom ? if yes thats the one and only Northants run where the lead car was a Clio

[mark r skinner]

Aha! I remember the Lambo, and I`ve seen "rocket" somewhere or other....

Yes there was a car revving, but when your more used to dragsters and TVRs you don't notice the quiet cars so much

Obviously there's a story to the lead car being a Clio, I was right near the back so I missed all but the last few cars leaving Dove House
