can anyone give me their opinion on which day the show is best to visit on?I've never been so have no real idea what it's like.Also can i just turn up on the day?Don't really know anyone who would be going apart from paulp who i bought car from & he's always been very helpful.Hope these questions don't seem to naive to all you gods out there.Hopefully won't keep you from your ambrosia for long! But please no lightning bolts the electrics won't take it.

Mark, definitely saturday, meet us all at the Donington service area ( about 2 mls away, just off the motorway ), about 9am if poss. We're a friendly bunch & you will soon get to know us, then you can drive in with the other 100 elans :D . Keep your eye on here, there will be a Donington thread before the event.

Is there going to be enough at Donny to keep the missus occupied (she likes to look at nice cars but not much else)?

Nice cars (predominantly Lotus), nice people, nice company, Formula 1 museum, Donington track - whatever's going around on the day. I'd say that's plenty, wouldn't you?

Yep. The bar! :-D

We went to The Melbourne Arms for a curry on the Friday night in '05, and it proved popular with most. See here
The pub's website appears to be down at the moment - no idea of the reason for this (i.e. if it's just a temporary glitch or if they've shut down yet) but hey, we've still got a few months to go, so can worry about it nearer the time. Talking of which, if the demand is there as we get closer in '06, I don't mind stepping up to the plate and arranging that side of things again.
It's worth checking out the pics from Donny in the old Events UK section. Unless you fancy getting in touch with JimP and buying a DVD of it all! :D

Yeah, well done Ed - that's the fella, panic over! :D

They've gone and changed from .com to .co.uk - now why didn't I think of that? :roll:
