Lotus 70th Birthday - Saturday morning convoy

Postby GeoffSmith » Tue 18.09.2018, 13:26

Any interest in asking Enright to organise a colour coordinated convoy (see Donington 2008 below) into the factory? Just in case there is, we'd better have a list:

1. Geoff - Collapso
2.

Well, to get on site at the right time, I would suggest that those who are intending to park in the LEC pitch will meet at Dunston Hall in time to have a bit of an organisation and then depart at 0800 to get to the factory

.....we'd better have a list:

1. Geoff - Collapso
2. Pinky - Empire
3. Clemo - LRG
4.
5.
6.
Dave

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?

Joao has a yellow one.

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
