well well now I am in 3rd gear....

unsure on the post numbers needed to change ones ranking, but I am chuffed at managing to grab 3rd gear.
I see quite a few 4th and 5th gear members - with all the talk of 6 speed gearboxes is a 6th gear ranking next on the cards?

more amazing, I have just been looking at the list of members (2764 of us) and noticed that a massive 824 (or close to a third) have never made a post at all (even to introduce themselves).

made me wonder.. what I am not sure but astounded that so many with no posts.

memberlist.php?sk=d&sd=a&start=820

NB - good to see that an Aussie (Rohan is at the #1 spot)

This 'should' give the answer:

elan-f15/fifth-gear-t13576.html

BUT....by that information I should already be 4th......

Oh well....this post will nudge me a bit closer :twisted:

Peter

(Woo Hoo!! I'm 56th

Gordon,
I think 6th gear comes under the new mods section.

The rate I'm going....getting 6th(!) Gear is definitely a Young Man's game!

Peter,
you may be right but (despite what we might like to think about ourselves) I don't think there are many young men on this forum!

Mike

20 year old university student young enough? :lol:

I've got a lot of catching up to do posting wise though!

shit, I was counting myself at 44 as young.... :cry:

Ah I just wish it was so easy.

A 60 hour a week job that has me flying all round the country plus a family and a house or 2 to look after. Plus more projects for the Elan, Plus 2 and Esprit than I care to list and a few other cars of the wife and kids cars to service / advise on - i.e. service the wifes car advise on the kids cars. Plus be the consultant tech for all the computers in the family and keep the home network running plus be the accountant for my wifes wine export business to Germany plus plus ..........

But somehow I find time around now in the evening to sit down and indulge in the sheer pleasure of thinking about Elans and all their joys and challenges by logging on to Lotus Elan.net while i enjoy a red wine or a nice brandy.

One day my superannuation ( pension) fund will recover and I will be able to afford to retire full time to engine building

and all the ideas I would like to chase down for those few more elusive reliable horsepower

cheers
Rohan

60 hour week etc.,etc.; that's one work load.
Time to slow down a bit Rohan!
We can't allow a heart attack rob you from us :wink:

regular medical and ECG for my racing licence here in Australia - no risk of heart attack - but alcohol posioning more likely - need to do lots of sample tasting for my wifes wine business

cheers
Rohan
