If you come and bring yours then there'll be at least one! Bluesatin may be bringing his, but may be bringing the Maser - oh Guy, what choices you have to make each morning!

Gotta pull out of this one chaps- house ain't finished (total stripdown & rebuild).


Total stripdown and rebuild!!!, what does that entail?, and if you're in the mood for saying so, why?

Ahhhhhhh I have family near by. Pretty sure I've been to that pub before actually...

Might try and make the effort if that's alright!

Sort it out, Gaz!

Good to see you all again, and some new faces

Not sure how I managed to lose track of everyone, tried to double back to catch up with the Yellow boys but must have taken a different route - ended up at the pub and was the only one there.

Nice pics Di

Cheers
Jon

We did get back to the pub Jonnie, but it had shut so we blasted on down to one in Waddesden, after a bit of car swapping

Great day had by both of us
Special thanks to Brian for the passenger ride in the Can Am, fantastic car, the acceleration is amazing even if you were still running it in

Evening All! Thanks for a great day (even though i did get back to my car to find I hadn't locked it! Whoops!)

My photos are all here

Quite a few yellow cars in here!













All the photos are compressed for the web but if any one wants a proper copy just email me and i'll send them over!

Had a great afternoon

Nice to mix with non-lotus machinery from time to time
and will deffo be up for anything else you guys/gals
arrange in the future. The plus side of today is i had
to listen to the ram air induction that i fitted only
last night!, it sucks in from the ear on the drivers side
and treated me to fluttery warbles all afternoon that
would have otherwise been shut out.


FYI, From the workshop manual it appears Lotus started
with a window and built the car around it...

Cheers very much for letting me come along and play today. Was a good blast from the first pub to the Little Chef and then blatting around all afternoon having filled my boots at the carvery. Particularly enjoyed playing "which car in the car park would you steal first?..."

Would definitely be up for it again some time.

Neil.

Thanks again to eveyone for making me feel welcome, even if I do drive a ''little m''.

Great selection of motors, liked the colour on NMS Cerb. What is the proper name for that colour paintwork?

Enjoyed the pub afterwards, & the laughs Phills & Oggs provided us with. A good day was had by all!

Hi Haze!

No problem at all, nice to meet you as well. Always nice to meet some new Pher's!

How was your Roast dinner?? - Next time you will be eating at the pub!! (Hopefully they didn't have too much left over after Oggs had had his lunch!

Keep in touch!
