Probably about right, as it's difficult improving on perfection :lol:

Phil,

I'm not in the Elan, but if you are travelling from Brizzle do you want to do an unofficial convoy?

A late attendee!

I shall be travelling from Kettering (J10 of A14) on Sunday AM around 8am - anybody else passing this way?

Surferphil - if we can sort out a meet up, I could buy your ticket - I rang Lotus today and they are letting people buy tickets as they arrive, but if i can take one off your hands for you...

Am I allowed to NOT be in the Elan?


I have thought a bit more about this. It would be wrong of me to turn up in the Nissan. It's the Elan or nothing.
As far as the Elan goes, I'm struggling to stay within mileage for my insurance (I have budgeted for Stoneleigh and Donington), and I would like to get the brakes done before I drive it too much more.
I think I'll give this one a miss.

Enjoy.

Sorted. Staying overnight at Huntingdon tonight and will be heading towards Hethel on Sunday morning, aiming to arrive shortly after 10. DVD's with photos and videos done and I'll bring them with me.

See you there.

Rip, it would be good to see you - especially if you've already got your ticket. You can get to Norwich, use the park and ride (or the shuttle bus from the Wensum Valley) and no-one will be any the wiser!
Or just use up a bit more of that mileage allowance.
Gwan, gwan, gwan, gwan GWAN! You know you wanna, and it'll be 10 years before another big bash like this.

Nice one Nige. See you there.
Striking fear into the hearts of duplicate posts everywhere...! :P

I was intending to go on Sunday. Dave Eds offered me a lift in Custard, but then I had to work. The work thing has been re-arranged so many times and is getting urgent now, so I am stuck with it.
