Carl, I take it you work for Renault?

I also have a 225, 172 Turbo (300+bhp) and a 197 on order. How do you find the 197 as I have not driven one yet?

It is very go-karty in it's handling and is good fun. I do find the torque somewhat lacking, which means you really need to rev it hard to get a response.

Personally, I prefer the drive of the 225

w/ Tiger:
just come on here now to see if there was anything going on this weekend! lotus meet/ drive sounds good. fed up with going to shows - want to see cars doing what they're supposed to - moving! I'm for any dry time drives - early morning? shame days are drawing in fast now tho...
curious: how many of us might have already met already at shows/races in the area..?..!

Hi Gooby

In Westover rd ??? You mean a pub or just on the road itself ???

All the best Brett

We usually meet on the road outside the pavillion. Check through the lotus forum. There is a meet today (I cant go) but the guys are heading down to devon for a run. The lotus/PH community is very close in Bournemouth!

So am I!!!

We will have to organise a run soon - reclaim the town from the tories! Our typical run is out through poole to Wearham then on to Swanage for a burger then on to a pub for a chat.

thought i'd refrain from saying on my last post that we could do a slow (/quick?!!), noisy parade past the BIC around the 'live on itv/bbc news' time..!...but now...!.. when does the conference end?
was aiming to get to harman's cross this morn in tigger but after the rain i decided to play it safe, in the 'other' car,...and then the weather sorted itself out ...would've been a blast on the almost clear roads...

In the road outside the pavillion. We don`t stop for long before we go for a burger......The long way!

[corozin]

Well I'm in central Bournemouth too. Will keep a lookout for the next one, as I used to enjoy the Dorset Dawdles when Bob the Planner organised them

BH9 ...

Shall we organise a evening out?

[TB Rich]

Any fellow PH'rs with a VX220 in the b'mth region?

Am seriously considering selling my car for one now. If there's a meet at some point I wouldn't mind a nosey and maybe blag a passenger ride if pos

[zed sump]

was umming and arhing last thurs about seeing if anyone might get together at the Pavilion (or..?) early last sunday morning for a ride out.... then saturday nights plan got the better of me!... and now it's going to rain this w'end
...but next time the weather looks good, and hopefully still warm, i could do a sunday 8am run!?

[The Wiz]

Why not ... 19th November?

[ara2312]

Can't do this sunday as i'm planning on having a hangover, however the 19th sounds good. Anyone up for heading to Virginia Water on the 24th Nov, i've missed the last ones and i'm definately going to this one.

VW's on the 12th

...possibly but always looks very parked up on the main road outside on the vids (haven't been) - risky for that 'noisy' escape..! are there any decent alternative routes to the M3 for fun getting there/ coming back?

[ara2312]

sorry getting my dates mixed up again! the road parking at virginia water lake gets full even on a normal weekend so i'm not too sure where everyone parks, i would hope a few antics are ignored by the bib at a meeting such as this. will have to ask around on the other forums to see where most people usually park up

[The Wiz]

I'll be heading up to VW on the 12th so if anyone wants to join me?

might join you for that Wiz, depends on weather realy....

also looking to go to the Ring around that time, so may clash with that but would love to meet some fellow local Phers after posting for 5 years

[The Wiz]

Ok so is the 19th a go? If so where do people want to go?

[ara2312]

For the 19th i would suggest heading out shaftsbury way and taking in zig zag hill, other suggestion would be heading the other way down to swanage? What does everyone else think?

[TB Rich]

VW on the 12th sounds good weather permitting.

As for the 19th, that is far too far in advance A good drive sounds fun but I wont know for a couple of weeks yet if I'll be free.

[zed sump]

good weather this sunday - could do....?
0800 @ pavilion?
maybe:
shaftesbury, salisbury, andover, winchester, ... , ... (input required on the day - not done this before!)
5+ names on here before 7pm tomorrow and it's go!

nb. off if the gritters are out sat night (?) - shouldn't be as there should be no rain in the next few days.... :S
