Kimbers,

I'll certainly come and say hello (we spoke briefly at the parts sale in Bristol earlier this year) and look forward to seeing the Esprits (almost my favourite Lotus :wink:

). Not sure what Sy's plans are, I think he still has engine issues but he had previously posted that he would be there with a camera.

For all who are planning to attend in a Lotus but haven't booked track time there are usually parade laps behind a pace car (not fast but not too slow either) during the lunch break period. For the last 2 years any Lotus has been able to join this regardless of whether you've booked track places or not (helmets not required for the parade laps). Last year both Geoff and Chris were able to get a few laps and I would hope the same will be possible this year.

Thanks to Nige's tip off, I got one of the last tickets last year and well worth it. :lol:

Mr K!

Hi mate, shame your dad's not going to be able to make it.

If all goes well with the continued engine installation I'll be there. But, I don't like attending these gatherings sans Lotus so...

Let's just say I hope to be there.

My brother cannot now make it to Castle Combe so if any LEC'ers attending fancy a passenger ride I'm offering. If you do then you'll need a helmet (bring one if you have one or borrow one from those provided at the circuit) and sign a disclaimer (for Club Lotus, not me).

I'll bring my helmet, overalls and pen! :-D

I did say constructive

Mind you a yellow stripe still has some appeal :shock:

even if it's been done already.

Sounds like a plan Chris, hope to see you there.

If it's not going to rain, then I'll be down to watch with my boy William.

I'm not going to be able to make it I'm afraid (car still U/S).

Could you nip in on your way past and pick up a small (non-Lotus) manifold to give to there's only on f in Geof Smith please?

LEF are trying to raise funds by selling a trackday pass.

Car's running...MOT Friday = Not completely out of the equation.

What's the betting it fails (just to get another kick in the bollocks) on something trivial like th rear foglight not being absolutely legal etc...

see you all sunday ;-)

Delighted to hear you're running, fingers crossed for the MOT, hope to see you.

Thinking of coming to this - what time does it start? - what time are you all getting there?
