Lotus Record (shortlived?)

[Gooby]

I was very proud to recieve my (vertual) copy of the official Guinnes record certificate a few days ago.

While sat in the reading room (ahem) with a copy of Evo August, I read the "ferrari birthday bash" article. It seems they had 385 fezzas turn out to break the record for the largest "parade of ferraris".

Is the ferrari parade record different to the record we broke? or is our record very short lived?

If we have lost it, will Lipscombe have another go? If so I think we will need a larger track!!!

The Ferrari record is different, it was for the largest parade of Ferrari

Our record was for the largest number of Loti, so it should still stand

I thought it was for the largest parade of a "single manufacturer". We ousted the Mazda MX5's IIRC.

I thought it was the record for 'single make'..? In which case, the Ferrari one did indeed quickly supersede the Lotus one

Just looked at the cert - and you are right.

the certificate says "record for the largest parade of Lotus cars" so unless we do the record again it can't be broken by another car manufacturer

Humm... would seem that all records can be 'watered down' into subsections then. Perhaps the World's Tallest Man is that, but does this mean there's now a new 'World's Tallest Odd Luminous Socks From The 80's Wearing Man' category..?

I think the only thing you can't do is go a level down from that, so we couldn't have a record fo rthe biggest gathering of Elises, it can only be the manufacturer

Damm! And there's me thinking I could have the record for the biggest gathering of S2 111Ss in Atlantic Blue with 21,354 miles on the clock in my garage

Where can i find the certificate guys? I was at Brands and i was told we had to all be moving for the record to count. I'm not sure if we were but they were happy with it. Were the Fezza's all moving as well? It's record for Loti anyways!

you should have got an email from Lipscombe last week with a copy of the certificate attached.

Cheers Matt, just checked my hotmail! I should have thought of that one really. I guess this must double all of our car's values!

you'd have thought they could have sent us a little sticker too, would have put loads on the resale values
