Wells done, Maz. I could be persuaded to travel the 400 miles from Aberdeen if it's an LEC do, and in the summer. Maybe get Andy_J and Archie too.
Following this thread.
John
P.S. I don't do the camping thing.

Well, that puts the beginning of August out of contention then!

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?

Will watch with interest

But I'm sure that Hethel would be interested in M100 exhaust developments over the past 25 years

Great work on starting this one off.
Even though I'm only 9 miles from Hethel, I'd be happy to attend either venue (love those weekend camping trips

)
End of July/Beginning of August would be ideal for me. I'm doing triathlons May, June, July and September (in my continued effort in raising money for Prostate Cancer)

Quick update.
Received a mail from Lotus:
"I am sorry we haven’t got back to you.......(snip)...... Apparently we are also coming up to the 40th anniversary of the Elite so we need to bear that in mind too."
So they are still thinking about us.....fingers crossed

Hmm... Elan and Elite anniversary. Two of Lotus' unloved children honoured at once. I think I like it!

Deffo up for a summer gathering to celebrate! Hethel would be best so I do hope they can accommodate something for us.

They begin as grapes, and it's up to women to stomp the sh * t out of them until they turn into something acceptable to have dinner with.

I like the idea of a factory visit, although any get together would be good.

Why not a joint Elite and Elan celebration at Hethel, if it makes it worth while for the factory?
