Re: West Midlands Meetup COACH & HORSES

Postby Fredjohn » Sun 14.05.2023, 08:43

OK I'm all good for May!!!!!!!!

I also suggest we RETURN to the COACH and HORSES as they are now doing evening meals again Thurs-Sat.

Hopefully won't need to book either.

Pete are you still on? Any other Midland based owners fancy an evening of fun games and hilarity? Well a chat over a pie and a pint anyway....

Sorry I can't make it.
I'm tearing up Portuguese and Spanish roads in the M100 on a Club Lotus holiday.
3 Evoras, a Plus 2 and my Elan M100. Plus a few non Lotus tin things.
Still no Emira, but getting closer!

Quick question....... I know I've asked before, but is this still an event on the LEC calendar?

If so, is it the 2nd or 3rd Thursday?

If so, is it the 10th or 17th September 2026????

Oh, and if the planets align, can I come in a Range Rover?????

(in the interests of transparency, I am doing a job for JLR for a couple of weeks in September, between 11th and 27th. I don't know my exact timings for any days yet, but they can be pretty flexible with swapses if I can get another driver to do an evening run for me (if required). I am staying at Stratford, so only half an hour from Coach & Horses........ but is that still the venue??)
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?

Dave
Sadly we haven't met for a while. However, there is a combined CL/LDC meet at Broom Hall Inn Broom on 10th Sept. Very close to Stratford. There will be 3 ex Lotus employees giving a talk on the Emira 2021 launch. Should be an interesting evening, but I think there's a 60 seat capacity.
Text/email me if you're interested.
