Hi I'm new so be gentle

[Dan]

Hi guys,

Just joined. Had my car for several years now. Probably get as much enjoyment working on it as I do from driving.

Yet to make a big trek over several days. We have some delightful back roads especially throughout our "Great Dividing Range" that runs along the east coast of Australia from Cape York to west of Melbourne.

Cheers
Danny

Geday Dan, nice to see you made it here. :wave: Nice part of Oz you live in and I must make another trip over there soon. :yes:

[jimmybondi]

Welcome Danny!
We are a bunch of friendly Lotus enthusiasts, so don't worry :)

Nice to have you here.

Welcome, Danny :thumbup: Don't forget to post a few pics of your ride.

Welcome Dan! I see the Greater Australia region is growing :)
I may have to work on getting a section for it in the regions part of the forum.

Gooooday mmmate(s).

Yep, slept in and now 10.44am. Thanks for the welcome I'm sure I'll like it here.

Nope, don't count sheep. Like to eat them but not a whole one.

Watched our GP on the tube. Seems more of a challenge for the drivers to show what they've got now. Usually prefer to watch the Moto GP and Superbike series because of the closer dicing and physical efforts of the riders.

It's a Silk Red S4. A lot of you would know me from the LEF site as DanR.

Oh oh breakfast and I'll cop it if I don't stop now. Catchya later.

Cheers

[WayneB]

Ahhh, I remember you!:ohmy:

I'm trying to envision your silk red S4, but I just can't. Could you post a picture for me. ;)

[WayneB]

I've seen it, it's not as good looking as a Giugiaro Esprit, but its OK.:lol:

Kylie how long of a trip is it for you to get to Australia?

Hi Martin, not long about 1 1/2 - 2 hours flying depending which part of the east coast we are heading to.

[Autocross7]

...and the type of aircraft you have at your disposal! :plane::airplane::rocket:

[Dan]

I give up. Just spent close to an hour trying to post some photos. Not one of my stronger points. There're on photobucket but I don't know which buttons to push to get them here. Where's that dummies guide to photos?

No Wayne the "s" models are better looking and worth 2.768 "g" models :icon18:

[Kylie]

Dan when your in photobucket you will see your image and four various image tags underneath to select. You will see the bottom one IMG Code click on it once to highlight, right click your mousey and hit the copy. Then right click again to paste this into your post and all should be good as!!
