General General Lotus Talk

Looks like MySql issues have resulted in a restore and we have gone back in time - a days worth of priceless Exige related sentiment lost forever

Sorry, the hamster in the wheel was on a work-to-rule…

I had him shot and replaced him with one from India.

We’ve lost a days data ?!? I shall investigate.

Very very queer indeed (the problem, not Honda drivers)… it seems that the MySQL db was corrupted - after rebuilding it looks like it pruned a days worth of data… wonderful.

Many apologies for that guys… Just repost what you posted yesterday verbatim and we’ll be OK

You’ve got to be kidding, can’t even remember where I was yesterday.

However, I vividly remember watching Jim Clark driving a Lotus Cortina on 2 wheels round Old Hall Corner, at Oulton, in 1964

Well you;re one up on me… I have no idea who I am…

Who am I?

6

Phew !!

So no one will be really offended by that post I made about engine transplants

7

Far too deep for an Essex man Mark!

And AndyD, I read that (before it was lost forever) you were well out of order! Fancy saying the Skoda engine was better than K, Honda and Audi - tsch!

Sorry Ian,

Just suffering the blues a little at the mo’, wondering what’s it all about… And generally why bother?

One of my mates is sorting himself out to go travelling and so has cleared 100% of his debt, has all his worldly possessions in 5 boxes which has released him from memories attached ot objects etc… He’s no longer a slave to the almighty dollar and is in effect, with almost nothing to his name except enough money to head outwards, is free, a lot freer than most certainly…

…Just envious I guess… So who am I… Why? But as it’s all slightly meloncholy there’s also the factor of why give a flying f**k too

Following all the questions about the age of Exigers, Mr Pesky must be as old as me as I remember Clark at Oulton (and at Aintree). I’m 53 but then I don’t drive and Exige just a 111s

13

I remember Clark at Oulton (and at Aintree)

Clarke was in the Grand National …runner or rider?

You coming to Croft? It would be great to reminisce about the good old days, when we used to go to the cinema, have a couple of pints afterwards, then finish off with a fish & chip supper, & STILL have change from a tanner You tell the kids of today that, & they don’t believe you

15

… then finish off with a fish & chip supper, & STILL have change from a tanner

Is that the old bloke from ‘World of Leather’???

16

I’ll be there, provided I can get my pension through to pay for the Optimax and my carer can get me a pass-out. Look forward to comparing notes about the the Good Old Days.

17

This explains why half of the votes on the ‘which is your favourite UK track’ have disappeared - vote again guys !!

18

So that explains why the PM’s from Roxteddy were unread?

Rox did you see the response?
