Thats right fellow Bolocs, the count down is on. I only have 4 weeks left as an official Boloc before she goes up for sale And out of those 4 weeks, only 2 weekends!!!:Yikes:
I hope I never loose touch with you lot, I may if you`ll let me, turn up at a few breakfast/burger runs in an MX5, or Focus (hoping for a pax with one of you!)
Our aim is to be back in the Bolocs within 18 months with a new liz, depending on how much our house is costing us! fingers crossed!!

So....... Please, please help me to go out in style.
2 weekends = 2 great runs

This Sunday, 26th March I`m open to offers, or I`ll run the "Dorset Dawdle" if enuf people show interest.
and
Sunday 9th April, I would ideally like to do the early morning Croyde Bay run as discussed after the last one. (clocks will have gone back and it should be a bit brighter in the mornings by then!)

So thats it. All I ask of you all, is that you join me in what we all do best, and thats get together as `friends` and drive our little beauties on some of the nicest roads around.

Thank you all for the last year. I`ve met some sound people and discovered some fantastic roads. I never imagined when I bought the Elise, that it would lead to such a great little social life, and that, I will miss as much as the car!

I'll make every effort to be there in some capacity mate.
Both are great runs, should be a good day out.

Want to set up a splinter group for us ex-BoLOCs?

Stuart, would love to come down and give the car a send off with you but sadly other commitments prevent it. It was great fun meeting you at the airfield day really enjoying the car. You epitomised the spirit of the day sir!

I'm sure you'll be back in a wee beasty soon enough, the short term sacrifice will be worth it when you're in your own place. I bet you'll be back in an Elise sooner than you think

Sorry Stu - this Sunday is another 'no-go' for me as the mother-in-law is coming to lunch

I'm pretty sure the 9th would be OK though

Looks like this sunday will be the Dorset Dawdle then. If we start driving at 0900 hours we will be half way (The Horton Inn) by about 1030-1100. If people wanted to peel off then they can do. The hard core can continue for the 2nd half which should be about 1.5 hours.

The Start will be at the Little chef at Burley eastbound side of A31 arrive at 0830 for a very promt 0900 start. The finish will be The Horton Inn for the half way mark, and The "Fighting Cocks" in Godshill for the hard core!!

At the moment I will have a pax seat free should anyone require it, if you think you can handle it!!

show of hands then please.............
