Ok, meet up at Northampton services at 8.00 for anyone interested. Just so we don't miss anyone, how about a list.

1. rip
2. Josler
3.

Watch out on the M45 though. We will probably have it to ourselves , but the police like to target this road with mobile cameras.

Just Josler & me meeting here then?

Is your car fixed? Do you not want to cuddle a spare bumper?

Me and Nobs could meet up with you if you can do a link to your meet point as I cant do techy things Rippers

Not fixed yet, but once I have fitted my Samco hoses (today) I am going to use some stop leak stuff

to get me by then probably get a s/h rad from dapinky (Your old one I believe Dave

) so I can get it re-conned and fitted.

Back to the meet: Northampton services is here Junction 15A of the M1.

That should give you an excuse to do the Buntingford-Baldock section of the A507 :smt023

I have no idea why there are separate North & South services. We will be heading North, so will meet at the Northbound ones.

by **JOSLER** » Fri 02.11.2007, 14:04

I'm still up for it even though its just the two of us. :-D

See you at 8.

I went for a job interview once and turned up at the wrong Northampton Services !!! Got the job anyhow :shock:

Providing the weather is fantastic I'll be heading for the porridge pot (in the MG :wink:

) as the services are the wrong direction for me

by **rip** » Fri 02.11.2007, 23:17

Not sure it is entirely watertight, but the Elan looks more useable than it did on Tuesday.

Will be at Northampton services as planned.

Wrong forum- LotusElan.net! :-D

In case I'm accused of being frivolous or off topic, BigSi is in hospital with pneumonia (Sy has conveyed a message from LEC via LEF) so we won't be meeting up with him. What do you want to do then Pinky? See if Punky still wants to meet up, meet up with Sy & Gareth or wake Stratford up?

Assuming that the convoy will leave there at about 0945, how do the following times apeal to anyone:-

0700 J21 M5
0745 MichaelWood Northbound
0800 M5 J9
0825 Evesham
0840 Stratford
0900 Poridge Pot (breakfast)

All times are provisional, and allowing for delays (and people waiting at the wrong services!) can be changed.

If anyone is interested , and can offer a suitable RVP, I am happy to amend the route accordingly.

Can u get Breakfast at the Poridge Pot at that time of the morning

Thinking of meeting you guys at the Pot, 2 hour drive :roll:

Not sure if Dico is going to tag along :poke:

by **Stef** » Sat 03.11.2007, 13:58

I'll try to get to the Pot around 9 with JB.

Can't promise Blipi will be clean of course!

See you all soon

I'd hate to see Punky on his own, but as long as he's sorted, I don't mind which option we go for.

Just give me a time to be at Mikey Norf and take it from there.

Ha ha....

She hasn't been kept as clean as I'd liked mainly because I still haven't fixed those scrapes she got in in that horrid Leicester multistory.

Soon she will get sorted and I'll treat her to a turbo re-fub at Northampton Turbo Techniques. Still I have given her a quick clean just now, and using the wonders of 'Bug Off' most flies are gone!

Is the meet up point at the Porridge Pot still on for 9am?

Website · by **theelanman** » Sat 03.11.2007, 17:40

see you there

cheers

Unfortunately I will not be in my Elan. While leadiing 3 Esprits in a convoy today the dodgy radiator failed completely, dropping several litres of coolant onto the M10 :smt022

I will still be there though. It's even more important for me now.

by **Sy V** » Sat 03.11.2007, 18:16

Think I'm all set.

Samco hoses for Gareth.
Articles on memory stick for Geoff.
OEM Header tank hose for SurferPhil.
Six pairs of A post seals for Nige, Clemo, Dapinky, Texas2201, Specky and Dave Eds.
See my post in the A post seals thread.

Don't think I've forgotten anything and for once I don't think I owe anyone any money and I'm not looking for parts either (touch wood).
