Blast from the Past, Mike C (with The UFO) is Back

Mike, good to hear from you after so long. Are you going to the Lotus Festival at Snetterton this weekend? My travel plans are totally screwed up and I have to return to the US tomorrow so I can't make it.It's been best part of 10 years since I was here, but as I've just done some more restoration on my 1976 Elite and it's running and on the road, I thought I'd drop in and say hello.

I'm pleased to see several familiar names here!
So hi to all and specially to Steve and Pete who may remember me ....

The Elite was off the road for about 5 years while I did a major (and highly successful) sailing boat project. Late last year it was make or break time for the Lotus, either scrap it or do a substantial restoration job, starting with trying to sort out the water leaks and then a complete new interior. Together with overdue maintenance and fixing some long standing problems, I knew it would take many months, but it's done now and I'm pleased with the results. More details later if anyone is interested.

I've not been here for years too. Still have the Elise I bought new 11 years ago and also a Plus 2 that I've had running for 3-4 years now.

I still keep an eye on the digest, but live most of my online Lotus life on SELOC, MLOC or Lotuselan.net.

Are you going to Snetterton this w'end for this http://www.lotus-festival.com/

OK, hint taken; I've just added an album 'Mike C's Elite - The UFO' with a couple of pictures.

It's lovely to be welcomed back into the fold! Big thanks to ALL.
