That's great Gerry - thanks for doing that.

First rule of photography....... make sure the battery is charged up. Anyway, a few of the ones I did get.

Ever wondered what a hatchback Excel would look like ?

Voted as car of the day by all attendee's.... it was better than it would have been when new though.

Many Thanks to MLOC for organising a great day out. After filling the air with positive waves and asking the Gods for a free service in the Raffle, I duly won a service :)

Cut to 4.57 and there follows the Charles Cotton Excel crew (or most of us!!) Great weekend once again and looking forward to the next one - and for next year I will get the car height sorted (already reading up on my LEDA shockers to work out how to a) lift the ride height and b) soften the ride a little! Best Wishes

Thanks to all for a great weekend once again. We enjoyed it despite our run group leader going awol and the noisy hotel. Definitely considering a cottage for next year!

12 months to fix my steering....surely, surely, next year it will finally be fixed :lol:

Bleeding hell, I never realised before but Tanz has a "driving Tash" and "out for a bash and a bit of posh nosh Tash"
The Lotus Eclat, a lot like the English Whisky company: comes from Norfolk and better than you are often told it is.

Ive been rumbled! My tash's are all false - I stick a different one on for different occasions. I have a Nigle Mansell one and Graham Hill one for track days!

Are you and Maxine going to stop over night next year?

We were only there for 1 night but my only complaint was that they didn't lay on any breakfast. £80 per night was quite cheap for a hotel room when many B & B's charge over £100 these days. Our room was clean and comfortable. Good nights sleep until the dawn chorus started. My meal was fine. Lynne not so happy with her choice.

The New Bath hotel was better from a breakfast point of view. They got up especially early to give us hot Croissants, tea and coffee.
