Hello all,

Only spotted one V6. Maybe too much fuel and too little a tank to get to Le Mans ;)

Did see a Europa heading home but alas no photo. I didn't realise how small they were in amongst other traffic!

And suddenly I realised that I was no longer driving the car consciously. I was driving it by a kind of instinct, only I was in a different dimension. Ayrton Senna

Haha. Not the car I was referring to but thanks for pointing the colour yellow out for me. :bravo

I'm asking about the one in which Rick has written 'Nice bit of carbon on this'

It looks red/Orange.

I would think that's Exige Orange.

Mike :D

It'll be a different colour altogether knowing Lotus but it's darn close to Lava Orange that a handful of S2s were painted.

Almost all of the photos were taken at CBW.

I think just the Trump S1's and the V6 on our campsite.

Classic British Welcome a fantastic event. Well worth doing if you are attending the 24hr.

Europa - not many cars make an Elise look tall but that's one of 'em.
