Only Dave's got that it was taken at the end of the show and most at left by then.

Unfortunately, due to the fact that the cameraman is a complete buffoon, the expected video presentation of Tiff Needell performing a road test and review of the C5 will not be available for viewing....

.... by the time I had caught up with Alan who was chasing Tiff across the car park, got the camera out and changed it to video - it was all a bit "wrong" and I ended up with a still image at the start and another at the end - but nowt in between :oops: :oops:

As such, this is all that exists, and the rest of the feature has been lost forever (except in the memory of those fortunate enough to witness it..... so that's Alan and I, then!)

Easily done Dave.

Consolation prize is a video of Alan :-D : https://www.facebook.com/groups/1841457 ... 999499096/

I think watching Alan in his C5 (most of the day) and the response from the pubic was my favourite of the day.

Looks like Hendy have scheduled another one of these for Sunday 25th June 2023.
Have posted this on TLF, as they and LEC had an allocated area.

Don't yet know any more info, or if Bibs is getting an allocated area like last year for TLF, or if LEC will get an area.
Hendy say they will add some details later, I suppose they will allow club organisers to do the same as last time?

Not sure how the date will work for me ( wedding anniversary weekend!), but if I'm free, I plan to be there.

But Dave
How better to celebrate?
A 7 hour drive in an Elan and then a day of banter with some Lotus Nutters and a slap up meal from the burger van?

On second thoughts… I suppose it’s normally a joint celebration with the Mrs not the mistress. :D

the Mrs is now ALSO an M100 Owner. certainly that is only an extra reason for it to be the perfect celebration.

Well, she was an M100 owner before I was - but she won't want to do a 6 hour drive starting at 0330 to get sunburnt, before returning home again......

From TLF, John Hendy has posted a link to book the free tickets. Looks as if all Lotus will be parked together.
