Being a two man tent, you're lucky if it sleeps one - I fit in it (just) if I sleep diagonally(!).

Sure you don't want a purple Elan to add to your collection? ;-)

I'm at a wedding in Ayr on Friday so I'll be setting off from there on Saturday morning once I've recovered enough to drive, so expect me on Saturday afternoon at some point.

p.s. I saw the NE Club Lotus stand at Glamis last weekend but the guys were all hiding under their gazebo and never came out to speak to anyone, which was a bit strange...

We'll all be back from the run between 4-5pm. There might not be anyone at the lodge before then but you can always phone my mob to see where we are. Same old number.

I was there on Saturday -a bit wet. It's a shame you didn't get to speak to them as they are a nice crowd. They were probably too busy chatting. Did u have a lotus tshirt on? That sometimes makes a diferrence :wink:

Think I will head down and meet you all at either glenlivet or tomintoul, no point in heading over the lecht to come back a couple of hours later. Still undecide on whether it is the LC or the elan, I will probably let the weather decide as te elan, is no where near water tight.

Archie - make sure your JD's under lock and key if Monty is going LOL ;-)

Monty - cancel Croft - save yourself £100. Every day is a track day up at Archies. The Cockbridge/Tomintoul/Lecht road will blow your mind. And not a blue flashing light to be seen for many miles.

Wish I was there but Silverstone beckons. Really looking forward to the live entertainment on Sat. night - Jedward off the X-Factor !!!!!!!!!!!! FFS !!!!!!!!!!!

I've already offered, so long as he doesn't take it on track. Oh, and brings me one of those bacon sarnies back.

Pinky will be sorted by then I'm sure.

Monty - the other option is to travel up in your white van and "borrow" one of Archies fleet of Lotus's. You could well have the choice of a custard M100, a BRG M100 or a custard Peter Stevens Esprit. And show him how to drive those fantastic Scottish roads properly :poke: :burnout:

PS And if you send me a PM I'll let you know where he keeps the keys to his secret stash of fine Scottish malts :beer:

Custard! Creme Anglais maybe! But it's better than Pink - that's a girls colour :D At least you've got a nice perm for it :mrgreen:
As for the Malts I've got a nice 18 year old for my real friends, not the Siverstone splitters - enjoy Jedward (I know of them but I've never heard them sing - probably a good thing)
