Cant make it this month guys.

Elan is MOT-less and im focusing my efforts in the GT4, trying to get it running before the end of the month when the other Celica Tax runs dry.
to top this all up. (and the real reason why Cant make it ) only got 400-500 miles left on the running Celica insurance policy, need to safe those up for daily commute.

So, enjoy youselfs, and i shall see you next month.

[GeoffSmith]

Still can't make it...

[maz_r]

Nevermind Geoff - next time....

Good meet up, even if only 4 of us made it, including a special guest appearance from surfboard filler

Lots of chat about cars and houses (and bizarrely, conservatories!). Quite a late finish for us; hope you all made (make) it home safe.

Hope the other regulars who no-showed are well.

Phil: my instructions were rubbish - I hope you only went round the roundabout once before you realised I meant I'd turn off left once we were on the motorway

Hi Martin et al,

Sorry I couldn't make it - rubbish week - traffic everywhere and I needed to prep a case for tomorrow............

Sorry I missed you all (and Phil)!

regards

John

Good meet, nice to see the only 2 plus Phil! Conversation just shows we realise there is a world outside of Lotus

Castle Coombe on 28th May??? See you all there

[dapinky]

Just got home - maybe I'm not even the last one back tonight (Phil?).

Good evening was had despite the fact that only half of the antendees were actually from the West Mids area

[petezipp]

I just got home! Not really, it was good to meet up and the food wan't bad either.
Anyone going next week I have been kept on at JLR until next friday so I may be encouraged to make a 2nd attendance.

On the way home I got spooked by the sign that said 'The North' and went around the roundabout to get my bearings.

[Fredjohn]

Glad you finally got home OK Phil. Sorry missed you tonight, CLK MOT took longer than expected but at least I have one now.
I'll be there next week 16th.

Who else?

[Fredjohn]

Just a quick reminder for meeting this week 16th June.

All comers welcome, wherever you hail from!! (incl. Cyprus)

[Tuga2112]

thought it was next week.

cant make it again, its impossible to get the elan back on the road by then.

[Fredjohn]

Bumpity bump.

[Tuga2112]

Bumpity bump.

Any chance to postpone for a week ?

Getting Mine back on the road is proving a lot more time consuming than i expected.

[surfboardfiller]

I'll be there if the Landy holds up, Neil said he will be coming tomorrow too.

[Fredjohn]

Think we have too many coming to cancel at this stage.
Joao try disconnecting the speedo on the Celica.......

[GeoffSmith]

Apologies again - maybe next month. I'm off for a swim by way of recompense...

Geoff you'll be delighted to hear we had a good turn out tonight and we all went for a swim too. Absolute horrendous downpours to and from the pub. Not the best of conditions to drive in, never mind in our cars.

Pleased to say mine didn't leak! But big splashes from huge puddles did cause a mis-fire at high revs under load. Hope it'll dry out and hope my diagnosis is right.....

Good to see everyone, even if only 2 Elans of 6 present. Weather and calipers falling off are almost a good excuse......

Edit make that 3 see below. The rain got in my eyes.

[surfboardfiller]

I counted 3 Elans
