[Bobfrance]

That depends on somebody there making me a good offer on the TVR.  ;)<br><br>(Which I'll be bringing)  ;D

That run, sounds good to me, but i`ll be taking it easy as i`m not happy with the ride height of the Pink beast and hitting a barrier doesn`t help  :D

We always have people going at differing paces and my Elan used to keep up without too much trouble, especially when the road got a bit bumpy !!<br><br>I've always found the food at the Ladybarn ok. Did you say soemthing toupset the chef ??   ;D

[Monty]

LOL, Dico likes to eat bits of plate in his food, keeps those teeth nice and sharp  [smiley=lol2.gif]  [smiley=rofl.gif]<br>Look forward to the [smiley=driving.gif] if it`s dry  ;D see u there.<br>

[Bobfrance]

Being as local to these parts, I can think of quite a few alternative pubs in the area (some good - some bad), however as the weather improves I can see their car parks filling up on sunny Sunday afternoons.<br><br>A pub with good food and a large car park might be tricky to find.<br><br>There's The John Mile, just round the corner from the Ladybarn - it has a large car park but I suspect the food's no better.<br><br>There's The Moorcock on Blackstone Edge Road; the will definately be better (and dearer) but it's carpark is usually pretty full.<br><br>I agree with Dico that we shouldn't upset NORLOG boys by attempting to change the venue on them. <br>Probably a hearty breakfast and and a packet of crisps at the bar is the answer. In fact there's usually a burger van if you come back along Todmorden Road anyone hungry could stop off for a burger before returning to the Ladybarn.  ;)

[Monty]

Sounds like we`ll have to start up are own LEC meet on a different date to NORLOG, or am i getting sad, i`m getting a bit of stick of my Bitch ::) thinks were all sad and can`t understand why i`m going bling under the bonnet as nobody see`s it  :-/ It`s hard work trying t explain  :-[ Maybe it`s a Jealousy thing  :P<br><br>Anyhows, looks like it`ll be a dry day tomo`s, so i`ll be going for the Leisurely drive  ;D<br><br>Must remember to bring the camera.<br>see u all there

[Sooty]

We only chose the Ladybarn as its easy to find and has a large car park. <br><br>Never had any problems with teh food tbh, but always welcome to suggestions for a change of venue. We only meet there once every 4 months so its not crucial, but the criteria are, large car park, food, easy to find and close to decent roads.<br><br>Any suggestions tomorrow will be welcome !!

[Bobfrance]

I don't wish to stir up any dissent withing the ranks - I don't even own a Lotus yet!  ;)<br><br>How about we plan a little fact-finding tour of local pubs to see if there is anything more suitable?<br><br>It's a good excuse for a drive (or a pub crawl )

[mark29]

can't make tomorrow fella's, shame, would've been good to go for a spin around those parts...      :(<br><br>always next time, have a good'un...<br><br>

[Monty]

Had a good run with the NORLOG lads today, Dico got lost  :P. <br><br><br><br><br><br><br>

[Bobfrance]

Me too! (had a good time that is )<br><br>I'll try and post my pics up tomorrow - off to the pub now.  ;D<br><br>Oh and I found out what the mystery noise was Monty. It was the TVR slowly undoing it's rear silencer bolts with the half-shaft.<br>Don't ask me how ??? but by the time I got home the front and rear halfs of the exhaust were completely separated.<br><br>Still it's an easy fix and that run certainly was a good shake down for the car (shake being the operative word! )

[Bobfrance]

Pics as promised...<br><br>[center]<br><br><br><br>[/center]

[Monty]

Nice photo`s, not much sign of the TVR LOL. <br><br>So are we going to try an organise a LEC meet next month? If so lets have ideas on location and dates.  ;D (mine u might start work on my suspension ::))

[Sooty]

I know its short notice, but if any of you guys fancy a meet tomorrow (Weds night) there is a sportscar meet at a pub in Bolton called The Watermillock from about 7.30pm.<br><br>Although there's usually a load of Lotuses there, we also get Porsches, Ultimas, Nobles and Lambos. <br><br>Good for a pint and a chat and another excuse to get out.

[Monty]
