I'm there Friday. If previous year's are anything to go by, I'm likely to outnumber the M100s on my own, but its usually a great show nonetheless.

Yep, twas an excellent show. As expected, just the one M100....one more than I've seen some years

which was on the Club Lotus Staffs branch stand. I know its a bit of a grind for those involved, but it would be great to see LEC represented there. Its the biggest Classic Car show each year and it would be good for both club and car to be seen by the 50k + enthusiasts that spend fair bit of their hard earned to attend. Assuming breadth of enthusiasm and funds are low, maybe worth negotiating with Bibs to see we could nick a corner of his TLF stand for just a car or two and a marketing table?

This year was actually bigger than ever which was quite difficult to get round in a day, not least because it used all the halls from 6 to 20. They dont flow very well from one to the next so it was easy to get a bit lost and miss stuff. All good fun though!
