Hello Peter,

Hopefully my car will be back on the road, with its refurbished turbo in a few days, just waiting for a few parts to arrive from SJ. I hope to be able to meet up maybe late April or most definatley May.

[Fredjohn]

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....

[Fredjohn]

Pete are you taxed and ready to go?
C&H again if you can.
All others welcome.

[Fredjohn]

Martin and I missed you Pete!
We had a good evening catching up., talking Lotus and steam trains.

[petezipp]

so sorry We have so much going on ( Health , Dog problems , Jaguar ) I have been out of it I'm afraid.
So glad you have found martin and I missed him, hope he is ok.
Hope to be at LDC next Thursday.
Perhaps we can meet up at Coach & Horses the next week.
Will let Dipak know.
Apologies Peter

[petezipp]

Peter

[Fredjohn]

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!

[Tuga2112]

[petezipp]

Well Thursday coming up ( probably wet )
Any takers for the Coach & Horses ?
I'll be there if any of you post in the next two days. Check this post to see if any one is free.
Or try again nxt month.
Peter

[Fredjohn]

Sorry guys, I'm in France in motorhome. Not back till next Monday.
Will be OK for August though.

[Tuga2112]

usually i think about it. but this time i have family coming up to visit.. and well.. the support frame of the seat foam ruptured... not planning on sitting in the car until thats sorted

[Fredjohn]

August meet approaching.....but.....

Local CL/LDC monthly meet has been rescheduled for 17th Aug, so I will be there instead.

At Broom Hall Hotel in Broom nr Bidford on Avon, as usual.

Feel free to come along.

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??)

[Fredjohn]

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.
