Hi,

Anyone ever had any ghostly experiences when camping (avoiding those that occur after drinking gallons of beer).

Bill

Just to get rid of the blue face I'll tell you about one I had, We were crossing Denbigh moors in the mid 90's heading from Pentre Foelas to Denbigh. There was heavy mist and only one other vehicle, a mk 3 ford escort in front of us. Niothing else on the road.We pulled over to see to the kids and then started off again. Through the mist I could make out another vehicle looming up and thought it must be the escort. I was astonished to see a mk 1 ford cortina and recognised the white and green livery as being one of the lotus models. There was one figure driving it. When we neared the Sportsman,s arms it pulled into a carpark opposite. The lights were on but didn't glow and looked as though they were painted red, sort of as if it had very poor earths. I remarked to my wife that anyone who took such a valuable car up on the moors in thick fog must be bonkers. At the time they were changing hands for around £20,000. It was only when we picked up the escort again I realised that there was no way the cortina could have gotten between us and the escort unless the escort overtook and as the driver appeared very cautious and was absolutely crawling through the fog I couldn't see why he would do that.

Has anyone else heard of theis ghostly lotus?

Hi Bordercaz,

What's the pink stuff?

Hi Bordercaz,

I have just got to get to one of the meets!

Hi Welshlady,

A hearse and accompanying funeral cars was clocked at 110 mph recently but let off with a caution.

Bill,

Could the escort have overtaken the lotus? This would explain how the lotus came to be between you and the escort..........

ps just noticed that you mentioned this possibility - oops, Sorry!

Hi CS,

I don't think so, the escort driver was really cautious and absolutely crawling through the fog. I don't think they would have tried overtaking a snail.
