What did you do to your Lotus today...
Took a drive through Arkansas, including the Talihena Scenic Byway, the Pig Trail up and back, and up and down Mt. Magazine. A buddy came along in his Viper - we had no trouble staying in front of him.

Steve, you've given me a flood of memories! Back when I lived in the Dallas metro I used to chase the curves on those roads on my motorbike whenever I could. The Talimena Scenic Drive area was especially familiar as I had a friend I knew from a BMW motorcycle forum who lived at the bottom of the hill in Big Cedar where the north/south highway crossed the drive. He hosted gatherings for BMW-riders twice a year at his place. Great times that I will always remember fondly!

Surely it's a bit brass monkeys on the moors at this time of year.

Not a lot of hair left and what I have is pretty scruffy anyway thanks to lockdown barber... Me
It's currently sunny and about 11c so almost tropical, so think the green baseball cap will suffice.. Will let you know if I regret that decision.
Besides, we're tough oooop North

Turns out I live in a micro climate.. Anywhere within 3 miles seems to be peeing down, while we have a bit of drizzly moor grime making the local lanes a bit entertaining
Going to need a wash now to get rid of some organic matter.
Baseball cap sufficed...( I cheat though as have a wind deflector )
Enjoy them when you can folks, even if just for a couple of hours...
We could be plugging them in future ..

As a Yorkshire man couldn't you manage a cricket cap?
I'm still wearing bobble hats sans bobble.

...then came home to a box of parts. Is it sad to be excited about a box of old bits?
Boxes of Lotus bits are one of the best things in life - certainly not sad except for people who dont understand what a Lotus is really all about and are missing out on the joy of driving a Lotus
cheers
