ive been in Club Lotus for years. the prob always being the 'area for bucks' doesnt get this way. (Milton Keynes, Bucks). its always further to the High Wycombe area side. so never met anyone in MK who has a Lotus of any kind. the area organiser is trying to arrange something closer soon tho. maybe i'll be able to compare my cambelt noise one day then........................

Hi Shaun. I'm slightly west of Southampton and knock around with Club Lotus Wessex. They are a very friendly group with numerous activities. http://wessexlotus.co.uk/default.aspx Plus of course the LotusExcelNet group will be at several forthcoming events. Let me know if you'd like to meet up. Regards, Chris

Well, if I was right all the time I'd get to be predictable!

Hey Chrisw and Ozzy_uk. Maybe we could meet up at some point during the summer?

Chrisw, just looked on the Wessex Club Lotus site and it looks good.

Regards

Shaun

Would be good but the Excel is still engine-less as the moment whilst my house build is in full swing, and the V8 is still sat at my friends workshop...
work in progress...

May very well do. Whats the 'theme' for that one? Or is it just an anything goes one?

I know some are specifically open top / 60s etc

Shaun

PS, a trip to Ozzys sounds like a fine idea. What do you think Ozzy?
