I have applied for space to display our cars, having checked that the Festival doesn’t clash with the Club Lotus Track Day as it did last year.

Could anybody who would like to bring their car let me know, also for which day(s) so I can provide numbers to the organisers.

Cheers

Richard

Our presence has been confirmed. Here are the booking instructions - note there is no club code this year, and that only the driver and one passenger in each display vehicle will be eligible for the 50% discount:

29 & 30 April 2023
BOOKING INFORMATION

CLUB DISPLAY VEHICLE AND TICKET BOOKING DEADLINE: 5pm Sunday 16 April 2023

HOW TO BOOK

1. Go to: https://www.displaymyvehicle.com/shows/ ... n-historic
2. Create your MSV account, or login if you already have an account. When you get to the page that asks ‘who are you displaying with?’ select ‘With a club’ then select our club’s name from the list
3. CAR DETAILS: Add the details of the vehicle/s you will be bringing to display on the club stand. As you are booking with a club, there is no age limit for the vehicle you are bringing – it can be classic or brand new, provided it is appropriate to your club!
4. TICKET SELECTION: IMPORTANT - the online club ordering system automatically puts one combined adult driver entry ticket/display vehicle parking pass for your chosen day/days into your shopping basket before you get to the ticket selection area. This ticket gives entry to both the driver and their car. So, when you get to ticket selection, just select any passenger entry tickets that you may need.
5. In the shopping basket you will see any additional tickets you have chosen showing as entry tickets and your combined driver entry ticket/parking pass will show as a vehicle display pass (shown at the price for an entry ticket). The tickets will automatically be discounted by 50% so you don’t need to enter any club code.

Please note, there is no telephone booking facility, and the club discount is only available to those bringing a display vehicle (and their vehicle passengers).

Need to amend the details of your registered display car once you have bought your driver entry ticket? Email events@msv.com and they will be able to change the vehicle details in their system and issue a replacement combined display parking pass/driver entry ticket for you.

Need additional parking only passes (not additional combined driver entry tickets/parking passes)? For example, if you have bought your driver entry ticket/parking pass but plan to bring a different car on each of the two days of the event so need a pass that will allow you to park a different car to that listed on your combined driver entry ticket/parking pass on the second day. Please email events@msv.com and they will sort this for you.

The uptake for the sunday was a bit low for Club Lotus, this is 'it'. NYLOC had more cars ( about 10 ). But general attendance was lower than when I last went (2019 I think ).


Ive got lots of car porn picture of other cars if anyone is interested ?

Bash

[Pete Boole]

Car porn - lovely!! Load 'em up Bash!

Pete

[Lotus-e-Clan]

Yeah load em up Bash. I prefer shots from the rear. Emphasises the wedge.

[bash]

How about a disabled wedge ? Poor things only got three wheels.

I will post some more when I get to my laptop, its a bit clunky trying to do it with my phone.

Say cheese ...
There's a video online somewhere of a very fast Bond Bug (straight line only).

If you are not rubbing you are not racing. James bonds spinners at work.


Very pretty g4 ginetta






Glorious old f1 engines at lunchtime
