Wow that is just jaw-dropping! Interested in particular in how they managed to install A/C in the shape craft.....recent oppressive Sydney weather tends to put one's mind to these sorts of things. Any more photos of how they did it? Robert

Give me a few days.

Well done Ken, brilliant as usual!

I don't know what job you do that takes you from Paul Matty one week to a Japanese Lotus shop or show the next one but that must be a pretty good one!!! Any vacancies? :D

Keep posting !

Etienne, I am in the motorsport / performance parts industry and have customers all over the world so I've learned to travel cost effectively. Sometimes I combine an event or visit to a shop with work trip but often it's for pleasure. I worked for Cosworth USA for 8 years as VP of Sales so I've been to the UK over 50 times. As of last year I am no longer with Cosworth but still involved with several UK companies. Seriously..I would rather take the 10 hour flight from LA to Heathrow than try and fly to Detroit . I regularly fly over 100K miles per year and wouldn't have it any other way. I was visiting all of these cool places and thought it would be fun to share what I see. This is America and you pick the job and....do it.
I'm working on my next post from Race Retro a few weeks ago in the UK.
I'm headed to the Essen Classic in a few weeks..my first time. I do need to find some time to finish my Lotus Seven and S1 Elan though so I may take a few months off from traveling. Thanks!
