				I had never seen a Lotus Carlton on the road until I went to Billing last year...... there was about a dozen :D
 
- 
				I'm a massive fan!! I nearly bought one when I was younger (well, my bank manager did  ::)) I took one for a test drive in the wet! Loved it, but decided I'd probably wrap it around a lamp post! I'm more sensible now, but now I can't afford or justify having one!!  >:(
 
 Albs, next time you're ok, remind me to show you all the LC literature that I've got tucked away!  ;D :y

 I remember the first time I found the ABS stand at Billing, and saw all the LC's lined up myself Daz! I nearly had a very embarrassing accident in my trousers!!  :-[ :-[ :-X :-X

				I took one for a drive when they first came out.... 
 
 
 OH MY rather GAWWD  did i want one !!!
 
 
 still DO...
 
 except,  to be honest, what i REALLY want, is to get Omegatoy to build one in to an 03 plate elite estate .
 
 no, really, i know i'm mad as a hatter,  but yes, that's REALLY what i want.....

 Well I've got a 53 plate elite estate, so I'm halfway there (well, not really half)  :D ;D :y
- 
				hmmmm    
 
 I nearly bought a Elite at the start of the week.... missed a black 51 plate by £20 on fleabay....    should have ignored the wife and bought the damn thing....
 
 then i spotted a 2003 job on Autotrader....   rang the guy, and he'd already swapped it for 2 other cars....
 
 damn....
 
 there's a green one on the bay, but it has tin worm all over the rear tailgate.....   and more miles on it than i want.....
 
 
 so I'm going to spend spend spend on my Mv6 ......   and grit my teeth every time i see another elite going for sensible money.....
 
 
 so, you my man, are a lucky, lucky, lucky lucky git...   :y
 
 
 unless you wanna swap for a Y reg MV6 with all new suspension, ????
 
- 
				Yes, an MB AMG E series estate....  :y :y :y
 
 Now where that lottery ticket I need to check  ::)
- 
				a friend's brother has an M5 estate....  it's mental....    :y
			
- 
				Very nice, but do they go up in price as they get older? £20 grand for a 20 year old car????  :o

 I could be very tempted by an E class estate at some point .. though a next door neighbour has one and I wouldn't want to be copying.. ;D
