Just noticed that the parade laps at lunchtime are for the Historic Lotus Register and the first 50 who sign up at the Club Lotus stand only. Should sort out the chaos of previous years but if you don't arrive early and register then you're unlikely to get on track.

Where is everyone parking? ,
is there an allocated Elan area or just try and look for other Elan's in main car park..But which main car park

I shall try for about 9am

[Nige]

Parking for all Lotus is in the Paddock so head there and park up with the rest of the Elans, as I'm likely to be amongst the early arrivers I'll try to get a space suitable for a reasonable numbeer of cars.

yep make sure you do the one and half car width parking

[GeoffSmith]

Does anyone want a 32mm Draper Expert ½" hub socket? I have two - one used once on the Elan and the other used once on the Polo! They cost around £7 IIRC but a few quid in the kitty will suffice.

Oh, go on then!

You can never have too many tools (and my 32mm socket is a Fisher-Price one, I think it came from Toys-R-Us)

[GeoffSmith]

Sold to the man with the big toolchest secured with a big toollock.
