You deserve more than one Gary:

If you're after advance information, you're better off on LEF which is frequented by a certain Mr. MJK Junior! :-D

Don't forget that the 2007 event was pretty late in being announced (and we haven't even had Donny yet) and Doug has already had a personal invite from MJK for the 60th, so we can surmise that something is in the offing. There's likely to be a lot more Lotus clubs in the food chain than us bottom feeders! :cry: If I were you though, I'd try and find the exact date of the Mark I's first event.
