I went to the Hethal 40th open day on Sunday and joined a convoy of about 3 Elise's and an Exige on the way there - and on the way out tailed 3 Esprits 1 Turbo 1 V8 and a lovely blue Essex edition!!!! As you said beautiful with the sunshine and top-off!!!
I went up from essex in my S1 Exige and met up with my mate Adrian with red S1 Exige (one on show at Hethel) tagged onto a convoy of 3 elans and 2 loti carltons
