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?

Nothing up on lotus on track for the track:-!
Could the 'Hokey-Cokey' actually be what it's all about?

I thought Donington was ideal because it had both a track & exhibition centre? But now we're not going to have a track event???

What?? Surely they aren't having the Lotus weekend on the same weekend as their busiest race meeting?
Are you sure the dates (for both) are correct?

on the Donington park website they show the BTCC event for that weekend see here
on the Club lotus website, they state the same dates for the 'annual show' see here
Not sure of the implications (other than get your hotel bookings in early!!!) for us - CL state that they're looking for a Lotus trackday on the Friday - but how that would work with the BTCC practice sessions I don't know......

Not sure how things will pan out - or what CL were thinking - but if the CL trackday at Castle Combe 2 years ago is anything to go by, having that event in the middle of a 3-day MX5 racing weekend wasn't a great idea
