Lotus Europa featured in Driving.ca
« on: Monday,September 03, 2018, 11:31:45 AM »
Hi all,

Proud day - the TCS I restored with my 2 girls was featured in Driving.ca

Personally I think its a little to much of me going bla bla bla and not enough of the car going through the turns :-)

  :I-agree:, :beerchug:,
I didn’t hear blah blah , I heard a great story of bonding.

The 73 looks fantastic and the colors being part of your heritage are special in your heart and theirs!

The Twin Cam plays the symphony whilst my right foot conducts the orchestra. At 3800 rpm the Mad Pipe Organ joins in.

This is a cool story.  I really hope my 8 & 10 year old daughters show a little more interest in the cars in the next few years.  They are somewhat interested though they gravitate more to my Mini then the Loti.  Great car and great memories I'm sure!
