You can reel me in on that one Andy.
I've taken the bait!
Oh how I'd love one of those Lotus Sunbeams in my Garage, looks great even today.
I've never understood why the owners let the VW freaks get away with calling their GTI's "the original Hot Hatch"
The Sunbeam; a giant killer in its time & rear wheel drive to boot.
Yup a rust bucket but everything else built in that era was also.
The Lotus Sunbeam went like stink & showed the Rally World the way, if only for a short time.
Great little car & the well restored ones always attract intense attention from me at the shows.
Well I guess that in some cases "taste" cannot be taught
Do you want large fries & a Cola with that Sir?
Well alright the Carlton was vulgar, built in times of major vulgarity; a minor concession!
But those were the years when Lotus was lost & looking where to go without a glimmer of hope (until Elise came along )

Errm, just noticed that the thread name's changed. Clever!
I assume you can do that, being the thread originator Gary.
I think you've made History on this Forum Alan; a thread named after you
Cheers

keep with the plot Mark.... My name is Alan....
Who's whimping out?
I was just pleased to be famous for so little effort....
Bring out the big guns if you want, I haven't seen anything that worries me so far. I have an old Anderson shelter in my garden, no sign of me needing it for anything other than storing lager at the moment!
