To view many photos of the 66 S3 FHC LHD go to Flickr. Use [email protected] for the ID and sellingmylotus for the password. It took awhile to organize them.

I have been compulsively reading posts on LotusElan.net for at least nine years, probably more. I've posted a handful of times and can't find my old login. As to secretiveness, I do value my privacy.
This is a wonderful, amazing place. Thanks to all.

Very sorry for my idiocy. The Password is NOT sellingmylotus it IS sellingmyelan.

Has anyone else been able to access the Flicker account or am I the only one without the proper skill level? Mr. Seller is trying to help me but I tend to be a little thick at times.

Mike,
First of all, the correct Password is sellingmyelan, NOT sellingmylotus. Very sorry for this mistake.

the account is locked because there were too many failed log in attempts!!

I managed to get through earlier and found the many pics you have but I don't see one of the car in its entirety, ie, a picture of the car. Do you have any of those?
Thanks,
Greg Z
