Lotus plan must be successful. New Management will hopefully see what I can see.

Well, its birthday time for me in a week or so. Fifty seven years and counting! I'm older than Lotus car company.
I am happy and healthy, and looking forward to the future!
Group Lotus on the other hand are in turmoil.

I read in today's New Zealand Herald

Lotus position looks uncomfortable

The syndicate lent the money to Lotus on the basis of a back-to-back guarantee with Proton, which is said to have cash of around 255.2 million pounds.

Indeed, it is this guarantee that worries some insiders who are concerned Lotus could have a domino effect on DRB because of its debts.

"That is why Lotus is such a big problem for them," said one source. "They have to get it right."

My proposal MUM will clearly work. They need to make it part of the overall plan.

DRB-Hicom own a private University ICAM, and have links with British Universities.

IT IS PART OF THEIR CORE BUSINESS

If they are looking for synergies between DRB-Hicom/Proton and Lotus look no further!

I have dealt with a series of Managers and CEO's in Lotus. None impressed me. Conversely, I probably didn't impress them.

I hope this changes in the near future.

For the sake of DRB-Hicom, Proton and Group Lotus. I hope so.
