Lotus Festival 2012 AT BRANDS HATCH

[Stef]

An early one but will meet you all at the Nags Head in Brentwood

[lotusnut]

I've got a map but for some unknown reason I leave it in the boot of the car, and often leave the satnav at home. See you at the Nags Head.

Ticket bought for Sunday so see you at the Nags Head.

I did wonder if leaving there at 8.15 makes arriving at Homebase, Dartford @ 8.30 realistic?

[Rice crispy]

Gary, do you mean Saturday ?? don't forget you will be in the Elan not a daily and its only a couple of junctions along M25 to Dartford and at 8:15 the roads should be clear.

David,

is the meet up at the Nags Head only on Saturday 18 August? I can't do that day. It's Sunday only for me this time.

Gary,
the meet is saturday at present. I may stay overnight or go both days so could possibly meet on Sunday

Hi, checked the meet site (Homebase) on google maps and it says it's 30 miles/40 mins further north from brands hatch, is that correct
if so, any chance we could meet up somewhere closer, to gain some time

[Rice crispy]

Nope maybe 5 or so miles i would guess

[mvf906]

ok i'm then, have I got the venue wrong or google their calculation

[bobbrown]

The run in is 6.5miles from the HomeBase store to Brands do not know where 30 miles came from

DA1 1LA to DA3 8NG

No Dave put a burger van at the destination and the average man will find it I will be at the burger van at 7 45 near the nags head i have a wedding on the friday so will need a big fat burger and a cuppa...

Do not drink too much other wise there is a very good chance you will be over the drink drive limit the following day.

[Paul69]

Thanks Bob i dont drink to much these days due to my illness but i still go out and come home late.. looking forward to brands should be a good day i think the highlight for me will be a drive on the circuit on the saturday there is somethink very special about brands.

Paul how is the dodgyflatcap coming along ?? a dose of antibiotics usually clears it right up

[Paul69]

ha ha yeah ok even my friends little four year old daughter agrees with you there Dave.. I love the honesty of children: Paul that cap looks stupid...

i think the highlight for me will be a drive on the circuit on the saturday there is somethink very special about brands.

I agree even though I have not driven it. Its sweeping bends & gradients are great.

[lotusnut]

Never driven round but I was driven round in a competition car quite a few years ago. Roll on 18th. I've got my go-faster stripes and big bore exhaust, just got to find those dice for the interior mirror.

[basher]

I'd be up for coming along as well on Saturday if possible and adding another Elan to the meet.
Just route checked it on the route planner and the Nags Head would be easy for me.

It would be good to meet up with everyone.
