S2 Elise in Goole

Hi everyone, I thought it about time I registered and particularly as a lovely Elise pulled in behind me as I was leaving my parking spot this lunchtime. It was a green/blue colour - very nice but difficult to describe! I was in my Lotus-powered Talbot estate (genuine, Talbot factory build) - was a bit awkward to stop for a chat as he couldn't park until I had moved on!

Hope to be free for the next Buckles meet - you can laugh at my old Avenger then...

Regards,
Graeme.
(Also have a proper Sunbeam Lotus plus an Excel, by the way.)

Well Graeme, I think it'd be a crime if you didn't come along to one of our meetings with one of those Lotus-powered motors :bravo (please!)

Thanks guys. Yes, that's my old girl - :bravo - photographed for Classic & Sportscar in 2006 (pic taken at Breighton Airfield). Perhaps not the prettiest of cars but that's not really the point - and she's good for taking all sorts down the tip, too!

Well, I've been hoping to come to the last couple of meetings but my schedule had other ideas. Will make a real effort this month...

Oh, and I saw another S2 on the A614 near J37 of the M62 this evening - green with two yellow stripes. Only caught a glimpse but I assume it was an Elise rather than an Exige - 54 plate, I think.

Green with yellow stripes - type 25 special edition. It lives somewhere in the area of Goole/Howden. I used to see it on a regular basis going back 4 or so years.

The green/yelow one is our lasses type 25 111s she has had it from new but its in the garage with the dreaded HGF. The Aqua one is mine another 111s and I have had this just over a year we do live in Howden. Alison is using mine while I have hers in bits and im in the usual Panda!!. We did Nurburgring, Stelvio, Monaco in them last spring and Malaga in October. Cant decide for this year booked tw weeks off in June its either the Alps again or Sicily but with the Euro it is probably going to be the alps.

Hello triumphman :wavey

I used to live in Barmby, you might have seen my Ardent Red S2 111S knocking about the area. Moved north a couple of years ago.
