'Alez' in case you don't know where to go, It's on the A25 between Dorking and Leatherhead.
Mind the bends, their not called 'The Deceptives' for nothing
Mind you, It's a bit easy now they've narowed it to one lane and reduced the speed limit

Had a great time this morning, it was nice to meet a few of you guys and see some other cars. I took a very long way home and took in a few great
roads the area between Box Hill and Winchester has. I'm really starting to feel how much the car has to offer now, even though I'm not
taking it anywhere near the limit yet. I think the 2 1/2 hour drive back was probably the most enjoyable time I've ever had in a car, despite
the extreme cold (didn't wear the lid on the way back, just a wooly hat and scarf!).
Hope to see you all again next time...
Matt.
P.S. Waved to a yellow/green car coming the other way at one point - was it one of you guys who were there today?

Hey hey hey!!
Hi chaps! Great time yesterday! (Apart from temperature..) I went for a bit more fun than I should have and then realized this speed camera sign, I
hope I've been lucky. I wonder how Hicost manages to keep his speed controlled (does he?).
You're most welcome Ben, no problem whatsoever man!
Bob, I've always been like that, I used to drive my V twin 1000cc motorbike much like that in Spain but had to sell it, this car just put my
grin back in place.
Yes that's what I am, a "happy owner", I always dreamed about a car like this (for years), only I didn't know they existed!
When I first came to the UK a year and a half ago I was amazed by all these classics and vintages on the roads, then kits, and finally I
couldn't believe the Locost craze. I mean, road legal kit cars without a kit, with all sorts of engines including motorbike ones, that's
just too much so I had to have one by any means! Also, I was very impressed by the Lotus lightweight approach, quite unique and much in line with my
concept of a fun car.
Conrodkid, honestly, I wouldn't recommend Madrid for christmas, it's bloody freezing there at the moment and raining too, it's the
mediterranean south coast where you want to be now trust me. Still, if you plan to visit Madrid some time, do let me know, who knows if I plan to go
there at the same time and I could arrange something!
Thanks everybody for the warm welcome (if anything was warm yesterday). I had a great time, although I have to say that I was a bit embarrassed for
being the only one who has not built his car himself.
Jasper, too bad you couldn't make it, it would have been good to see you.
Cheers,
Alex

Alex, its great to see the pics of the car and the smile on your face, if u have 1/2 the fun with her i did then you will be a very happy chappy,
don't worry i'm well on the way to been on the road again and maybe a nice sunny sunday next year will see me down there in my new
wheels.
Regards to all you southern shandy drinkers especially "Hicost" look forward to bumping into you at donnington next year and maybe, just
maybe showing u a clean pair of heals provided your heal is healed ok if you'l pardon the pun.

well Ben "Leave it to me and it'll all get sorted" Copeland got fed up with no-one being bothered to help out. I could of just told
you to turn up at my local pub, and to sod off if you thought it was too far. Anyway, Deckman said he was going to sort it out.
Plus not maybe people are actually free at this time of the year !
So watch it James... cos i'll ram that wing i lent you up arse
