Hello

Hi all,

just didn´t know what great community this is until I discovered it on recommendation of an online friend.
To introduce myself, my name is Birol, I live in Germany and have been a huge Lotus fan from my childhood to the recent day.
I love racing, rallye cars, hill climb cars, track cars,
51% of my fascination belongs to Lotus, 49 to aircooled Porsches.

Hope to make friends here and have a good conversation !

Thanks for the Welcome !

The picture was taken on the Swabian mountains in the South of Germany.
The car is some kind of misplaced on the Autobahn but as you´ll know much better on windy roads.
If it's a blast to drive depends on how freaky the nature is, especially the weather.
Since I got totally wet in a cloudburst and the interior completely soaked I became a weather expert and catch myself looking more to the heaven than on the road.

By the way, I´m not a native English speaker and my language is just as good as I learnt in schooldays,
so please write loud and slowly.
