Hello folks
Well most of you know me - in fact in some cases it's because of me you're on here...! So it's all my fault...
After 10 years of selling Lotuses for Murray Motor Co - and making it one of Europe's largest Lotus dealers - the time has come to do something else, which I can't quite confirm as yet for a host of reasons I'll explain later (probably in person to some of you over the next few weeks I would imagine......!)
I'd just like to say that it been a complete pleasure, and privilege, to represent these wonderful cars for the country, and that I have met some fantastic people doing it, many of whom I'm delighted to have as friends, and many of whom are on here. The late John Martin Jnr introduced me to some of the SE stalwarts - Tut, Robin, Lawrence, Del, Campbell, and others, a month before I started the job in January 2000 - and said "these are the guys you have to look after", and I've tried to make that the basis of doing Lotus business ever since.
I thought there was a wonderful sense of irony in finally joining on here - after 10 years of lurking and directing literally hundreds of people here - and that way I'd get a chance to say - thanks folks, I couldn't have done it without you....!
I literally have a lump in my throat as I type this, and there will doubtless be a few tears shed before I finish up on December 30th, but you'll be pleased to hear my new role will still involve Lotuses...so see, I'm not really going that far away at all.....
This should really be in Newbies, but, if the Mods can forgive me, we'll try and get them a deal over the next few weeks, eh?
Last but not least, my mobile - 0 7 7 6 5 2 5 2 7 4 5 - is the same as the one you've all been using, and has been on my business card, for many years; it's my personal one, so please continue to use it.
Cheers, Graeme
