Elan 25th Birthday celebrations (possibly....)

[theelanman]

there seems a real split in Team Lotus and Hethel and race

not surprising....its the same all over (well from my experience)......where you have a load of people blowing money hand over fist at one end of the factory (and people not involved assume that its just one big jolly) and at the other end theyre working like crazy to make stuff to sell to get some money in......

In order to gauge interest please could you indicate if you might be up for a visit to Hethel on Saturday 11th October to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the launch of the M100. This is not a 'commitment to buy', but rather to see if there would be enough of us to make it worthwhile.

There will be a cost of ~£50 which includes a tour of the factory, a tour of Classic Team Lotus and a few laps of the test track (under certain conditions).

had a chat with a hotel friend.....
I can probably get a Marco Pierre White Hotel for about £70 per night.....cheaper with numbers
its very near the coast, about an hour away from Hethel (twisty roads all the way there.....)
between Cromer and Gt Yarmouth next to the Broads......10mins from Wroxham

As for Elanman's earlier suggestion: hotel for me. I have no desire to camp out in October.

Would be interestd in hotel, could they do a Twin room for me and the lad ??

[maz_r]

Gentle bump....

(and, yes, I had written camping off given the October date!)

[maz_r]

Folks,

I think that unless we can get more interest, I am going to tell Lotus we aren't coming as I can't see them being interested in hosting 9 cars, even if they are charging us for the privilege. Please tell me I'm wrong in the next few days, or I'll tell them to knock it on the head

[lotusnut]

already put name on list

I think you are right, it is a long way to travel so not really worth it unless its a decent sized event. Its a shame as you have put time into this

[Jeemy]

I'd make it up to 10 if that helps.

[Andy_J]

Put me down as a nor than likely and it would be with both elans so that is 11 & 12

[Ian T]

And count me in also please.
