It was GREAT to see you all on Saturday and Merlot thoroughly enjoyed the drive out.

Thanks to ALL the organisers and we look forward to next year when we will probably stay overnight so as to enjoy the evening curry.

Take care everyone and stay safe.

Now show us your photos so those who haven't got facebook access can see what they were missing.

And following on from Clemo's inspection of PP9, he found a piece of paper in the boot which was, lets say... water damaged. However, using some more water, I have managed to unwrap the folds and the legible parts of the memo provides some information regarding the Federal Weights and associated emissions. I would have uploaded a photo directly to the forum but I think some quality would have been lost so the photo of the memo can be seen here.

Apologies for the overexposed shot but it was taken with a camera phone and not a flatbed scanner.

Does anyone know who Rachel Jelly is? I also see Oliver Winterbottom is mentioned re his memo of the "7 September".

regards

John

John - Rachel Jelly was a former Lotus employee working in engine management, legislation and certification standards at Hethel.

I found reference to her in a letter sent to her manager, John Bloomfield https://www.nhtsa.gov/interpretations/nht94-544 regarding work on CAFE (Corporate Average Fuel Economy) standards

Hope this helps ?

Hi Rambo,

Thanks for that, most helpful. I'll see what other bits of paper I can put together as I'm sure there's some stuck to the bottom of the toolbox :lol:
