just thought id let everyone know a good group of people meet up at "the buckles inn" just off the A64 outside tadcaster (between york and leeds) every 4th tuesday of the month, it would be realy great to meet some of you lot. All welcome, it starts at 7.30ish (need to confirm that) and the next one is this coming tuesday 23rd. If anyone wants to meet up earlier for a chat or a little drive let me know, as im normaly there just after work, around 6-6.30.

was good to see you mate, we'll have to have a ride out some time. the other bloke you met albeit briefly was MIKCARUS, im sure we'll all have chance to catch up next month if we dont organise something sooner. its abit more fun when its not dark and alot more busy, bloody part timers, lol. Thats a real nice car you got yourself, driving home all i could do was pick faults with mine after seeing yours.

Dude seriously, there's so many tiny niggling things on every M100 owners 'to fix' list and it's one of those 'grass is always greener' things. Your car's lovely. You got one of the neat colours, sweet mods, and a second for spares! I'm still gonna chastise you for not washing it though!

I'm down for a run out whenever. I work 8-6 but aside from that I'm a typical 21st century nerd which means any evening is good for a run out becuase otherwise I am indoors airfixed to the keyboard :)

Just let me know.

Hi folks. No-one has posted on this topic for nearly two decades!
NYLOC now meet on the last Sunday of the month for a breakfast meeting at Fields Garden Centre in Sherburn in Elmet. We have an area to ourselves and the breakfasts are good. Usually three or four M100s in attendance.
We also meet at The Motorist, also in Sherburn in Elmet, on the second Wednesday of each month. That’s tonight and there are about 16 or 17 Lotus so far. 5pm to 9pm.

Over 40 Lotuses turned up in the end, ranging from my 1967 Elan S3 to a new Eletra. Sadly no M100s!

I missed the Whitby Lotus on the pier event in support of the RNLI.
I have a place there but was at a wedding. Gutted!

that was a bit of a last minute heads up.
usually my wednesdays are taken up after 7pm but i could do a sneaky trip to meet the southerners sometime.

Lotus on the Pier in Whitby was a great event. £11,000 was raised for the RNLI.
See the NYLOC Facebook page and website for photographs.

It wasn’t really a heads up for that event, more a reminder to people that aren’t NYLOC members to become NYLOC members (if the location is within reach).

I’ve been away from LEC for many years and took the opportunity, whilst sitting in the beautiful evening sun, to remind folk about the club.
