The Blue SA went to a new owner yesterday - Gary. He and his good wife Bridget picked it up and drove it home. I will let Gary introduce himself - as he will be putting the car on the Excel Stand.
So it is goodbye from me for now - I will pop onto the stand on Saturday and say hello/goodbye
It has been fun, interesting,challenging, ups and downs, but neither car let me down and I enjoyed both of them.
I will just have to console myself with the Lotus Elan SE Turbo and my new track car a BMW E36 M3 3.0 - details in my BLOG.
cheers

Re: After nearly 10 years of Excel ownership - Green and Blu
Hi Martin, Rick and I will be there on Friday so unfortunately I won't get to say hello/goodbye in person. Thanks for all the fun times, especially the Dawn Til Dusk run and the pax laps in your earlier M3 at Donington. I hope to see you at the Club Lotus day at Castle Combe (if not before) and hopefully at the Elite/Eclat/Excel meeting in 2013. Best wishes, Chris

Well, if I was right all the time I'd get to be predictable!

It's not a goodbye i am sure, just a small period of insanity that will pass in time....................or is that the rest of us???
All the best....................
