Enjoyed your blogs enormously - keep them coming. Nice photos.
Very similar story to mine - now had my 125 Roadsport for about 2 months - bought second hand from PT Sportscars - black 2010 with 5000 miles. Was going to drive the car up from Windsor but they discovered a fault with the car just before I went down to collect - so they delivered. Originally visited the (Lotus?) showroom in the mid 1970's - taken me a while to get around to actually buying one! My wife thought I was having a mid life crisis - however - she is now starting to enjoy the car as well - although she has not actually driven it yet.
First couple of times I drove the car it was more like a speedboat - just so much rain and standing water. Managed a couple of decent drives since, including going to the Handling Day at Throckmorton - really good day - the first time my 19 year old had driven the 7 - he had a fantastic time.
I'm in South Yorkshire - just off the A1 between Leeds and Doncaster - so might be a bit far to meet up for a blat - but if you ever want to have a chat give me a shout - I will e-mail my mobile.
In the meantime - go and find some nice quiet roads and enjoy yourself.
