Roger Becker 12 December 21:44

Hey, that's great, 300,000 miles? Are you kidding me! You sound a bit of a lad, one who enjoys, or did enjoy his cars! If I'm around next June get one of the Lotus guys to let me know and I'll pop along to meet you.

RGB.

Received an e-mail from a Roger Becker whom I do not think that I have met, but think that it must be something to do with Facebook which I barely use. Googled on it and it came up with a tennis player.

If you're remotely serious

Thanks Shug, the only ones that I knew from Hethel were Nick Adams and Andy Shepherd.

I did meet Julian Thomson and Richard Rackham many years ago, but I think they have moved on. However there have been so many changes with owners, MD's, CEO's, that I have never kept check.

Is there not a great picture of Roger and "Jaws" side by side, during the Sardinian filming scenes of the Spy Who Loved me Bond movie (with the submarine Esprit )

Matt Becker is his son.

I think I read recently that Julian Thomson now works at Jaguar.

Matt Becker, his son is still at Lotus, think he is Chief test and development engineer or something similar

...and I was in a meeting with Richard 3 hours ago so if he has moved on he doesn't know it
