There is a 'lotus Europa' site that I may able to post it on, so it may not be a lost effort.
Hi James,
If the manual you have is even remotely related to the Europa, then I'm sure that either the main reference site ( http://lotus-europa.com/manuals/index.htm ) or Joe's Lotus Europa forum would be a great home for it and I for one would be interested in the manual. A few Elan owners also have Europas and participate in both forums.
Moving off topic, I think Gary is right in his diagnosis and for whatever reason, Jeff is too busy at the moment to look after us. After reading the other thread where guys are trying to contact him it did make me think that we should have offered help when he asked for it. The snag is that due to the phrasing of Jeff's original post I interpreted that as hinting that we needed a "policeman" moderator to calm down any arguments on the forum and like all the others who responded, I quite like the open nature of what Jeff has created. And I think others had the same interpretation.
If Jeff had phrased it as "I need some help with this thing guys. How about some volunteers to administer and be responsible for the content in the individual sections ?" then I for one would have come forward as I'd be able to contribute a few hours per week on it. But as for moderating a forum, well, I just don't know enough about the people involved and would probably cause more problems than I solved.
The second, and somewhat cynical viewpoint that occurs to me is that anyone who actually wants or asks to be a moderator probably shouldn't be one.
back on topic - Come on James, post it on the Europa forum and a link here !
