Lotus Elite / Eclat / Excel

Good to meet up again Darren. I didn't get any pictures of your car. Was a bit late in the afternoon when I went round with the camera. But here are some others [/quote No problem Phil, the picture last time was great ! I had to leave at about 2.30pm to get back but it was a great event again. Trou...

Thanks - sorry for delay in replying- should be there Sunday - ok to park in the club lotus area now I’m a member??

Darren

I live 30mins from the NEC and would be happy to drop my car (Early Excel) off on to the stand and then come and get it after the show. I could definitely attend the show one, possibly two days but would like to have a look around the show while there.

Hi Phil - is Club Lotus Staffs doing both days or just one ?

Thanks

Darren

Good turn out of all types of cars today and good to meet you Tanz and the other guys from Club Lotus Staffordshire. Will definitely be joining Club Lotus following your sales pitch !!! Seem a really good group.

Darren

Thanks John.

I think you are right about the wings.

I have opened them up a bit with a fine cable tie looped through the slots so will see how that goes and pick up a Clip at some point just in case.

Hi John

Did you ever get this sorted as mine does the same ?

Lotusbits have offered a clip but as you say it seems to be a square peg with a round hole clip !!

Thanks

Darren

They seem to be back now - sorry !

Is it me or do we seem to be missing some of the sub forums from the forum index page ?

I cant see for sale or meetings ??

Thanks for all your hard work Chris. I would be happy to pay an annual fee to access the forum to cover Chris's costs. I think everything worked brilliantly as it was to be honest - with Angus stepping down it would be great if there was another volunteer to organise things like show attendance, mer...

I don't know what has been said regards Angus stepping away, but although he has said publicly that he needs to step away, I don't think I've seen anything which indicates the club nor Forum have an impending deadline of "Take over the running by X date or else it gets shut down", so my preference ...

Thanks for the replies. The benefits of a paid "Lotus Elite, Eclat & Excel Owners Club" would be to raise the money for things like the cost of the insurance etc that is required for "the club" to have a stand at things like the classic car show at the NEC etc etc This has always been organised and ...

Now would seem to be the appropriate time to consider whether or not the club should be set up on a more formal basis, potentially with a paid membership etc, officers etc.

Please note I'm not volunteering - just raising the point for people to comment on.

People who have never organised a stand at the NEC might not be aware that the show organisers are EXTREMELY miserly with the distribution of free passes. Only 2 are issued per car per day and not everyone displaying wants to help out on the stand, which often leaves stand organisers trying to hold...
