Was impressed today - something we could do?

Steph and I out checking routes for the Border run when we saw three Lotus/Caterham 7s heading our way as we got back in the Zed at the Kielder car park. Caught them up for a very enjoyable run to Hawick (it's a fabulous road). They were like scalextrics on the corners and looked to be on rails. They carried loads of corner speed and it was hard work keeping up - managed though through late braking and using all the Zed's engine performance. Of course they were faster through the tight twisties but we stayed with them.

When they pulled up in Hawick we had a word. Turned out they were doing a UK tour. The driver in the yellow '7' was the North Kent Area Representative of the Lotus 7 club and he was accompanied by a couple from Holland and another member from Kent. Very friendly and had been impressed we'd kept up - (it was quite a challenge :!: )

Suffice to say we now have an invite to Holland (email address supplied) along with the 'card' of the area representative which I think was a great idea and is something we could consider for the Z4 forum?

It wouldn't be too difficult to produce such a 'business card' for the fZ4orum - I was impressed when the Lotus 7 guy handed me a card - perhaps we could do something similar to hand out to Z4 owners we meet?

Thoughts?

Sounds like a great idea. :thumbsup:

I can feel a template competition coming on. Then we could simply print them off.

Nice Phots, by the way. :driving: (But never trust those little white fluffy critters.)
 
I have often thought about a card. Something that could be tucked under wipers of parked Zeds.

The ///M power brigade have them and tucked under wipers at the Silverstone a Classic a couple of years ago.
 
Yes not a bad idea. The lotus and caterham boys are decent guys though .... I attend the caterham club once a month locally ... In the zed.
 
The guys told me the card from the Lotus 7 club came via Vistaprint - here's the design and layout for interest

that's not a bad idea, somebody could make a generic then people just add their user names
 
We passed the Caterhams/Lotus 7's all parked up in a few cafes, heading up over the Brecons on Saturday. There were also a lot of Lotus Elise's in Betws-y-Coed Sunday too, so there was definitely a Lotus theme going on all weekend
