BOLLECKS*

[epipete]

Delighted to see you both, great beer, food and venue. Got lost looking for the motorway, but the car behaved perfectly all day.

BOLLECKS to a BBQ

Sounds great; will be there if I can

[dapinky]

as it says "RSVP" I assume we would need to tell 'em we're going? so, geoff - where's the list?

[GeoffSmith]

1. Geoff... so long as Peter gets the car packed on Wednesday night and we get back from Newcastle.

2.Jonathan . . . so long as the Lotus starts and the dog sitter comes on time
3.

What time are folks planning to arrive on Saturday?

[GeoffSmith]

Not sure Jonathan, but it looks like it;s just you and I. I'll PM you my phone number.

I need to refill with coolant and check for leaks after having (finally) got around to replacing the temporary fix of an O ring and putting a dowty washer on the (cunningly concealed now the chargecooler is back in) drain plug. Yes Pete, that's why my coolant level was low!

[epipete]

Glad to hear you sorted that Geoff.

Can't make it, I'm running out of weekends now, tomorrow I'm up in Worcester (moving the Son) and I have three vital tasks to achieve before I ship. 1. A new alarm, 2. Confirm my ALDl and 3. Sort my sodding Hand brake.

Gave a good day

I'll be there today, planning to arrive between 10:30 and 11:00. Can't get a dog sitter and Pauline's working, so I'll need to be away early afternoon. Pm sent with phone no, but no Bluetooth in car, so only when I'm stationary

A most enjoyable time at the Williams Automobiles open day this morning. Mostly modern Lotus present, but a select gathering of Messrs K Fiddler and self representing LEC, plus one other M100 that I didn't recognise (pictured below). We also saw a rather nice Elan Sprint, which had the good sense to park next door to us.

Our hosts for the morning

The mysterious interloper

Apparently they run these events about three times a year, often with a relevant speaker (last time it was Clive Chapman, Colin's son). Keep an eye open for the next one. They generally post details on their Facebook page, for those who are so minded

[GeoffSmith]

Good to meet you again Jonathan, it makes a change for the S2s to outnumber the SEs (hood up I notice). Shame there were only two BOLLECKS but I guess that's normal. I had a most enjoyable trip back to Chipping Sodbury on the coat tails of the Williams' Exige that I let out of the main entrance.

Ashes. Sunshine. Barbecue. Lotuses. All that's needed now is for the Mackems to get beat....

Good to see you too, Geoff. And your wish is duly granted:

Mackems sunk!

Calling BOLLOCKS lunchtime Club

I have a few days left, a hunger and a thirst, and a need to pick some brains over a convivial pint in a half decent venue!

I think towards Weston might be good as we never go that way but I'm open to suggestions.

Any chance chaps

Pete

[dapinky]

I'm here!

Don't know when Geoff gets back to the UK though (must be soonish).

Good. Well done. Arrangements to be agreed, when the Pensioner makes land.

May I join in please, if invited and the date is suitable?

[epipete]

Of course, Jonathon. I didn't mean to be exclusive, you will be most welcome,

Dave, maybe well move the venue a little Easterly.

Pete (and Jonathan),

I'm happy to travel to anywhere for a lunch.

Sat by the pool at the minute. Boys in the Uk, Caryn in Dubai and brother-in-law in Sydney. Remind me which month this is!

Back tomorrow afternoon then off to Newcastle for a couple if days before heading off to Spain next Wednesday lunchtime so don't plan anything around me!

PS BOLLECKS to LGM...
