Brilliant. Hopefully we'll get regular update on Jake's progress - looks like he's off to a good start :D .

Hi

Jake and I just wanted to thank you for making us so welcome on the Lotus Excel Stand at the NEC we had a great show and are already looking forward to next year !

A few short vids of Jake and his car and also the drive to the NEC

Jake's car 1st drive https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gUjhDimRWwM
Jake's car getting to the NEC (I'm not driving and filming honest...) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SEDPxJafUZk
Pack up at the NEC https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0bMAE5bs9Q8

Without the help of the very kind people on this forum Jake would never have had his car that Christmas , and without the technical help I have read from this forum I would have never have got the car ready for the show in time.

Sorry I am so very late posting (I think I'm better with the spanners than the Keyboard)

Best Wishes and a big thank you
From
Matt and Jake
