Long time Lotus fan here, having just become the owner of an '89 Excel SA in Pacific Blue I thought I should pop in and say hello.

Hello :wavey :D
Am I the most Northerly member?

Welcome from me also.

(Redlotus - agree that Pacific Blue is the best colour but what's your paint code??)

Well hello Al.

And an SA as well, are you getting old.
The Elise too hard to role out of.

Thanks for the welcome, hope to see a few of you at Donington, don't pinch all the best bits - I've got some catching up to do :D

The Excel is an addition to the stable, the Elise is still available for when I feel the need for a 'bit of rough'. So that's a red one and now a blue one, just need something in Old English White :wink:

I was really glad to find an SA as I may be able to persuade the missus to share the driving, planning Classic Le Mans next year.

Funny you should say that Dave, I've used a bit of my pension money (although I don't get it for another month or so) to fund the purchase. Where's me walking stick?

From memory its A62 Claret which i feel has a little more pedigree, but burgundy is also apt, and I would be happy to drink either. :wink:
