E1 LAN was mine :banana: in the overflow carpark, don't know why we didn't get into the main carpark, they had some right rubbish in there - who let the white mazda mx5 in there :evil: 'supercar' my A*** :smt078
just had this email from goodwood :
Thanks for your email re yesterday's club. Sorry the parking process broke down a bit, we had arranged for additional marshals but I think the weather forecast caught us out as there wasn't the usual early morning rush and some not-so supercars slipped onto the grid/paddocks. We are sitting down tomorrow to work out what happened - maybe requiring pre-registration for all theme cars. Anyway, thanks for getting in touch, glad that you enjoyed the morning and we'll try and learn the lessons.

Regards

lets hope something happens and they let more elan's in :wink:

I got there quite early and had no trouble getting in the main carpark along with my mates 10 year 911 - Have to say we both sniggering as we dont class our cars as "Supercars" but we had a blat down from Guildford following a VX220 and as he ignored the signs for the public carpark thought we would chance our arm. No problem next meeting as the theme is 80 and 90S sportscars. As always a highly enjoyable event.

Specky,

You were clocked by Mrs Jacko yesterday morning. In a white Elan whose numberplate just read Elan SE, she said.

It was a handsome young chap, she said, but one who looked worried. Almost as though he had people after him, wondering about gear knobs.....

Composite Guru in his Grey S2000 joining the M1 southbound at J13 shortly after 6.30 this evening.
Ok, so he clocked me first & I wondered who was beeping!

I thought my Elan was the only one on the Island until last week when I saw a red SE just outside of Newport at the traffic lights along Forest Road. Appeared to have an Island Reg ( J111 .... ) so unlikely to be a visitor to the Festival!

Anyone from LEC ?

My first ever sight of a lime green Elan. LIME GREEN??? On the A30 between Chard and Crewkerne about 4:30. Was in the Carlton so waved and got a nod...but he probably just thought I was a T**t!

I think it's fairly safe to say that that would be Kier.

That'll be Kieran then! (Kier on LEC).

His is the only Lime Green (Actually 'Pistacio') elan about and he lives down that way.

Edit - The old git beat me by a few seconds :roll:

Just the one now, but this one's mine! - and it will be finished eventually..... - but also temporary custodian of a project until it is finished enough for Angie to drive it


...oh, and a 2006 Freelander destined for the jungles of The Gambia - 4500 miles across roads, desert and tracks - what could possibly go wrong?

Ahhh....thought it must be well known. Should be easy to spot again anyway. I've also seen a red SE down here around Chard and Crewkerne a few times...do you guys know that one too??
