[Ollie82.]

I know it prob won't appeal to alot of you but if you like old school sports cars, and Loti especially check out this months Octane Magazine.
I don't usually buy it but i kinda have had alot to do with both the cover cars recently.

The yellow (or Orange as its known) Series 1 Esprit (James Bond style) has just had about 38k ploughed into it and its as it is if it had just rolled off the production line in 1976...its stunning. And sat in my workshop at the moment next to a white one im working on!

The silver one is a pretty rare Sport 350 which i actually prepped for the magazine shoot.
Drove it last week in the wet.....bit tricky with wheelspin in the first 3 gears but again, a stunner.

Anyway..plug over!

Your fortunate to get so up close and personal with them, rather than just seeing them on a stand at a show.

Well i was solely the valeter for Lotus @ Bell & Colvill but now im PDI technician AND valeter for Lotus so basically every new and used car we sell comes thru my hands.

Its manageable at the moment with just the Elise and Exige variants being sold
The Europa doesn't count as they don't sell and i don't really see many 2 Elevens but with the Elise SC coming out Eagle due in the next 12 months and the Esprit within 24 its gonna get ALOT busier for me!:dapprove:

Fun tho....

I really am quite lucky if im honest. I do love the job....i hate the politics and bullsh*t involved but just getting to drive the cars so much makes up for it all.
