Not me this year, Dave.
It clashes with something unmissable for me that weekend.

[Rice crispy]

Didnt know you were 50 that weekend

[Rice crispy]

Just booked my weekend ticket for me and Mini me not sure about camping as its only about 50 mile round trip so may just attend

Looks like things are gathering pace and there is a parade lap for Elans, not sure if it's for all Elans so have asked the question awaiting a reply.

Did the parade lap at Snetterton for the M100 which was good fun as the pace car did not go that slow just hope we get included.

So who's going

David,

Just a thought, may be Lotus Festival 2012 would be a better topic header.

Bob

[bobbrown]

Had confirmation back from Paul Golding it's all Elans

[Rice crispy]

Woohoo

[bobbrown]

Bet it's the Indy circuit as they do not use the full circuit very often

doh.....I was putting my name down for this event until I spotted your comment......
I heard the penny drop as if I think its what your thinking it is then I think Im probably playing.....

I do like to park on the south bank, but if there's a chance of getting on the track where's best to park

[bobbrown]

The south bank is a good place to park but would think they would want any cars doing the parade lap/s to be on the other side of the circuit as they will need to feed them on to the track from the lower paddock.

May be we should consider registering as a Club so we can all stick together, will need to see if there are any costs attached but one things for sure we will need more people to attend.

I'll ask the question to see what is involved with registering as a Club

I went to the Mini event last Sunday and they had a parade, all the cars were parked inside in their respective clubs, we were gutted to be parked on the south bank so we missed it,
and to make matters worse my son's car was written off yesterday fortunately my son walked away which is the main thing, but what was a very lucky find is now a twisted wreak

[Rice crispy]

Steve, main thing is your son is ok tin can be replaced but not people

David

[bobbrown]

I have said we will attend as LEC and we should now have our own allocated parking with in the car club area which should help keep us all together.
I should have some (6) FREE weekend passes on there way so they will go to who ever on a first come first served basis once I get them.
Note: these passes probably do not include camping

sounds good to me , there is a Shell Garage by the Brentwood Junction on M25 which has some parking outside and by noodle bar next door that could be a meeting point. Also has burger van outside and coffee shop inside garage

Your not wrong there mate, he was really lucky in that respect, but I can't see us getting a 78 Mini with no rust again

[lotusnut]

According to Club Lotus info, its on the full GP circuit. Hope to be there if I can get Sat. off.

[bobbrown]

It is a two day event but the parade lap is on the Saturday and if it is the full GP circuit
