South coast to Virginia Waters

[lotustuart]

I thought that a/b roads would be slightly better suited to us than the M3. So a mini run up there on sunday morning?!
I was thinking 3 roads(from Southampton/Fareham)....... A32, A339, A30, and then we`re there. Nothing to complicated or too fast, but fun roads none the less. (well 32 and 339 are!)
There will be:

Me Elise S1
Jake_D Elise S2
Twinpipe Exige S2 (maybe?)
BruceH Noble or Cobra

Any one else feel free to add your name and I`ll post more details nearer the day!

Don`t forget your car park money!!

Yeak I'm gonna tag along with you guys, there doesn't seem to be much interest down these parts!

Where shall I meet you?

Looking like its just the 4 of us, so you can meet us at Mrs Lotustuart`s house. You can hook up with Jake down your way, he knows where the house is. Here for 0900 hours, that`ll give us time to get up there and hopefully miss some of the traffic getting in. (250+ cars going now).
If anyone else desides to join us we`ll make other plans.
Speak to you soon.

Cool

Jake.... where you at??

[jake_d]

Twinpipe - will meet you at 8.30 at the pavillion

[twinpipe]

Cool

What time do you think you'll be at the bottom of the A32?? My car might be a bit dirty from the trackday in Abbeville tomorrow but would be good to have another day out!

0830!?! you are going to have to break some sort of land speed record to get here from the pavillion in half an hour!
We`ll expect you a little later than 0900 then!

There is no way i could get Holly out of the house any earlier on a sunday! See you at 9.15 ish

So, how was it then?? See anything awesome?

Think we spotted a very grubby looking Jake_d earlier this evening - horrible damp & salty roads today.
OrangeD's car has a layer of black all over it - that's on top of the clumps of mud on the front spoiler where he drove it into a ditch (forgot he wasn't in the land rover!)

[Lotustuart]

really good day. Beat a couple of Ultimas getting there!! Had a good lunch (my good can Twinpipe eat!!) Then a great run home via A339, A32 and my old favourite, the Corhampton road!!
Minidiva you missed a good day. Didn`t get your £50, but Twinpipe kindly bought us all lunch!!
Ta matey.

Lots of very clean & shiny Ferrari's, a Gallardo, Diablo, GT3's, Elise's, VX220's & loads of other stuff. Was a good day & some nice roads too, waste of time washing the car on Saturday though

[minidiva]

Sounds like you had a good day, I would like to have gone but we had other stuff on that was booked ages ago. Maybe next time, if all the Bolocs haven't sold their cars by then!

So who else is selling their Lotus then ?

[minidiva]

Only Stu & Twinpipe at the moment - but that's still too many if you ask me!

Traitors...

(only joking)

Please! I`m trying not to think about it!!!
Its gonna be a sad day in the Hall house hold!

[twinpipe]

Yeah thanks for bringing that up! May all be sooner than I thought as well. If all goes to plan I'm afraid we won't be neighbours anymore MD/OD and Just1. Sniff!
On the up side, I've been officially invited to take an extended test drive of a 240cup next time I'm back up north.

...the chine will never be the same again - it'll be so quiet!
