Lotus Elan Central

Tongue in cheek idea!?

But due to recent enthusiasm by people to try to get a meet sorted for this area maybe not such a bad idea?
I thought it would be good to try to list people that actually live in the area and that may be interested in regular socialising in 2010. I have put down the usual suspects, I am sure they will not mind...please add yourself if you are within say an hour or so drive of Manchester Then we can get an idea of where we should meet that's fair for everyone.

have seen 2 other m100s nearby

GUK has booked the Friday off to attend the sat 6th so its not fair if we start swapping the date... I chose the location down to the face i know quite a few live only minuites away and its some of the best driving around. Also ive been to the pub, the grub and beer is pretty damned good and not expensive. My idea was to rotate locations anyway to make it fair on all and also so we get to see a few differnt places/roads.
Can someone try to join the two threads up or else people are going to get confused.
Not long now, took mine out for a good airing witht the roof down yesterday much to Kims dismay!!!
I wasnt expecting a huge turn out at this time of year especially as it'll be the first local one since ive owned my elan, jut felt something needed organising.

In the absence of Neil (Enright) who has a thing for duplicate threads, I'm making an executive decision which could all go wrong......

....I've had the power for a while, but never yet managed to blend 2 threads into one, so anything could happen.....

.....as such, I'm taking the easy way out.....

In order to avoid any confusion or complication, I would suggest keeping this one going until after 6th February, then merging them into one.....

...in order to 'assist' with this suggestion, I've now locked this thread, and will try and merge them (with a suitable title) after 6th Feb has been and gone.

If anyone really sees any value in keeping them both open, or wishes to unlock it for any reason, please feel free to contact any member of the Mod team (or do it yourself, if so empowered).

As the event on the 6th has been and gone, now is a good time to unlock this one and encourage the use of one thread for any regular meetings in the area (as per the thread heading).

Nice one Dave Ta.

Fantastic, Many thanks Dave.

First thing to mention...wow what a great meeting we had! many thanks to Nicowalker1 for sorting it all.

Looks like there is LOADS of potential for a regular meets. OK so all those that went to the meet please put your name on this list(I think we had at least 10 Elans turn up...Would have been eleven if Dico would have come in his I suppose he made an effort and arrived in a posh convertable BMW)

Anyone else in the Northwest and North east I would guess pop your name on the list then we can email you with ideas etc.

I realise not much will be happening until the weather improves. But we already have interest with Inkitin proposing a run to a classic car museum in the lake district.

Well, that's torn it Mike. We can't not go ahead with it now, can we ?

Just for the record, it's actually a motor museum and doesn't open until mid May. I wasn't thinking of staying all day at the museum either, I don't think my marriage would survive that! Thinking caps on for somewhere else in the afternoon, after the museum.
