Loads a Loti
This weekend I had plans to strip and paint the front door at home - so no work on ROJ. Trouble was, I have a friend called David who owns a Lotus Elan, and this weekend is the the annual gathering of Lotus owners at Donington race circuit.
So at 6:30 this morning I hauled myself out of bed and set off with David to Donington….
