LOTUS ELAN M100 [ CASTLE COMBE ] 2018 JOB DONE.

Postby clemo » Fri 22.09.2017, 22:02

Right guys and gals . PLENTY OF WARNING ..

With plenty of notice for the start of the 2018 elan season . Castle Combe . Lets make this the biggy . Kick start our year of using our cars . Camping or B&B , Curry and cars . Sit around in a field under a nice LEC gazebo chatting about all thing ... well all things really . Pop the bonnet and show us your bits ... and above all put a LEC username to a face . A chance to have a proper hello rather than behind the keyboard .

Last year 28 Elans where in attendance .( Not all via LEC )but a good showing was noticed ... 2 rows of M100's . Pretty impressive , Fairly good British weather as well !!

WHY BOTHER ?

LEC Regional and National convoys to meet up and drive down to the event .. if thats not the best thing then i don't know what is ...
I can tell you there is nothing better than a stack of elans , top down , down the motorway then exit left for some nice twisty roads ... it really is a road ride of beauty that will keep you smiling from ear to ear all the way .

Awards for BEST IN LEC CLUB 1st 2nd & 3rd .... your M100 picture to show in the top right hand of the forum main page.
Pictures to be taken for the 2019 M100 Elan Limited edition calendar . You have to be there to be in it .. ( though we will keep a few pages for ROW )
Award for the Furthest M100 travelled .
LEC 2018 Club stickers for all in attendance .
LEC group buy swap shop .
LEC merchandise .
LEC guide to using ELANSCAN .


Subject to weather , TV with Elan videos , Tech youtube videos , Original launch video , Nothing drives quite like a Lotus .ETC .


BBQ to hell with the weather !.
Cups of Tea , coffee & Beers and Burgers in abundance
Curry club down T pub .


Not to mention all the good things about Combe
Track time ... slots available to do what your car once boasted .
Auto jumble ( where i managed to buy door seals ... yes door seals for £40)



Lets try our hardest to make people notice the M100 amongst a world of elise's . Lotus Parts manufactures / dealers are present . With a decent showing we can make things happen . Without it we get forgotten . Be part of it and help make the difference .

And if nothing else come and have a good time with like minded people .

Let us know how many spaces we need to section off for the M100 car parking rows .

********* PS the more people with cars that say YES the better chance we have of bagging the front rows to give us the best impact ***********

So if any international fly in's want picking up , a bed for the night and then a run down to Combe say yay now and we will find someone to be your chauffeur / or drive share for those who know RHD ! :burnout: !.

Also please mark , dates , preferred digs , Camping , caravan , or B&B .

Who is in ?

Firstly Jim Clark was never 'camping' - he was a man's man.

Secondly - have I missed something - when is it ??!!

Simon,

The date hasn't been anounced yet, but I have spoken to Club Lotus and they can't see why it would NOT be the last Saturday in May (Bank Holiday weekend) - so, provisionally 26th May 2018 (STC).

Just booked a pub B&B double room just over 2 miles away for one night £70 which I think is not a bad price.

For those of you interested in the posh camping at Burton Hill, Malmesbury (as opposed to the not so posh camping at CC circuit :lol: ) there is a big field with great views of the town, clean showers and bogs etc.... If there was enough interest I'm sure we could get a corner, or the whole overspill field reserved for us. I spoke to the person that ran the site last year and already primed her for an influx of LEC'rs and they don't mind large, we behaved "mature" groups of people. There are electrical hook ups too for those coming in their Winnebago's, Hymer's, caravans etc.... It gets an 8/10 rating and well deserved at that

http://www.burtonhill.co.uk/

See new Caming at Malmesbury thread for more info.

PS for those on FaecesBook you may well spot an image or two of a Collapso red, a Norfolk custard and a Specific blue (without orange wheels :wink: )
