The classic at silverstone
So went to Silverstone today in my excel I think I was the only wedge. Shame. Felt very lonely with all the moderns everywhere

Same weekend as LITP so a bad split.
Nothing is fool proof. Fools are clever!

Mine was very close! Mercedes F1 summer family party was held at a golf course adjacent to Silverstone, we could hear the racing very clearly the other side of a hedge.

Indeed! Kids don't care though, it just made the bouncy castles more slippery.

My Elite was there, but parked at the Silverstone Interactive Museum where I volunteer. You and your son would love it Pete. We now have the Lotus Type 88 on display

FAB photo but your dropbox method didn't work so I nicked it on to my 1Drive to redisplay it so we could all see it!
Perfect setting for an ESSEX coloured Elite!
