Absence Makes the Heart Grow Fonder!

After an extremely long absence from Exiges.com - just thought I’d pop in to say hello!

How is everyone?
what’s happening?
Any meets / trackdays planned?

Bumped into Martin E at The Classic Car Show at the NEC today and suddenly realised how long it was since I’d seen you all!

Anyway - got home and ventured into the garage so see the pride and joy (which I hadn’t even started up since October 2005 - yes 2005!) - That’s children for you!

To my sheer delight - she fired up first turn of the key - I nearly passed out!

Would be great to hear from any of you, Pesky, AndyD, IDG etc etc

Hope to see you all soon

Christ! I was worried mine might not start after 10 days!But it was on the button.How can you not use a car like that for 12 months,short of incarceration at Her Majesty’s pleasure?

The perfect example of the trickle charger’s value eh!

Does this mean you also haven’t been near a track for a year too?!

And fancy finding an Exige in the garage at the end of Summer, further madness!

Come to think of it wasn’t there only one infant last time you posted?

Nice to hear from you.

Hi Giles,

Good to hear from you - it’s been years. I nearly lost out to bowel cancer but the car’s fine…

Hope all is well with you and yours. Why not come to the Alcester pub meet (Arrow Mill opposite the entrance to Ragley Hall, second Thursdays) if you want to get back into Lotus motoring.

Regards

Hi Giles

Good to hear from you

Hope you can meet up with some of us “old school regulars” next year - I used to enjoy our “Guiness sessions”, particularly in Anglesey

Keep in touch - sounds like Mike’s invitation should br taken up

Hello Giles

well just shows you the black cars are the best

Another black car I think a certain car being prepared for LOTRDC next year is also going to end up black

I don’t think we ever met Giles you must be before my time (although I have had my car 3years now!!). I’ve just had a kid so I truly hope that won’t mean I have to give up Exige’dom for a year!!

How’s the car going Andy? What no picture diary…tsk
