[chris.t]

Had a very pleasant evening with Rob, Michelle and Deirdre. Carvery was up to the usual standard. No Elans present though. Thanks Deirdre for taking me home.

Where was everyone though??

[texas2201]

Sorry guys I was in Paris on Business

[muley]

OK, so who is going Wed?

I'm up for it (possibly with carvery, too)



Jim

[markv]

Planning to be there to hear all about NZ, along with Lotus chat. Tempted by the carvery...

[daveiow]

I'm going to make the effort even though the weather forecast is cr@p.
Beginning to feel a little stir crazy so it will be nice to be able to drive in a straight line for more than 500 yards

[chris.t]

I'll be there Dave, perhaps you can advise on hotels for Ypres.

[Kragof]

I shall try be there also this week,

What time do you guys aim to arrive by?

Whats the food like? (if any good I will forgo eating at work and dine with you all if you are)

Traveling A339 from basingstoke if peeps want to hook along.

[chris.t]

Les, about 8ish, some eat and have the carvery which is about a fiver, reasonable value for money.

[Kragof]

thanks, I look forward to meeting a few of you there.

[rjbean]

We will be there and should be eating too

[Nickydee]

In Bristol for work today so whether Im in the Elan or daily will depend on what time I leave here.

Struggled a bit on the way back - CEL was on and car overfuelling and stuttering - almost cutout at the red lights in Farnham - but cleared itself after that. Checked this morning and I had a code 33 - map sensor - one on order.

See you next month.

p.s. thanks for the info on Ypres, Dave - we'll give it a miss this year...

[markv]

Great to catch up with everyone, and nice to meet you, Les.

...and didn't someone (mentioning no names) point out that it's the 25th Anniversary of the our Elan next year? We'll have to mark that in some way...

[muley]

Is anyone else braving the elements tonight?

Cheers

Jim

[daveiow]

Sorry will not be attending tonight
The cheapest ferry is £43.50 as the robbing b@$t@rds have gone to summer timetables. Still I suppose that is the price you have to pay to live somewhere you can still leave your keys in the car and have a fair chance it will be there in the morning.
Slightly off topic am now thinking positively about Donington and hope to catch up with some of you there
If Steve A or Trevor B read this an ETA at J6a (M25) would help with planning.

[chris.t]

planning to be there, I think R&M might be along too.

[muley]

That's good. Are we dining?
