Raby Castle Classic show 29 June and at least one of the shows at Ripley Castle 17 and 31 August.

I can't say yes to Donnington as I'm due to be working 29 and 30 March.

You should try and get to Raby Castle this year Dave. Last year's event was enjoyable with a good mix of cars. I spent 20 minutes chatting to a bloke about his 1984 Mini Metro ....

I'm also going to the Autosport show, but on the Saturday. Hoping to be at Donington. Haven't thought about the rest of the year yet!

I am hoping to be able to make some more of the south east meets, but am expecting my first child in March, so Lotus will have to take the "back seat" to that this year!

Thats the start of a slippery slope. Had my MGB laid up for the best part of 15 years for that reason!

Surely Oz's number one offspring gets a ride in the back seat to come and meet the rest of us? Should be at Donington in March, F1 testing sounds nice - we'll wave up at Dave in his hospitality box. Should also be at Classic Silverstone, Sporting Bears at Kimbolton in July and hopefully Shuttleworth Classic Car Show May Bank Holiday Sunday (4th May). :D

What day is Donington ?
And by the way, where is this Raby Castle ?
I´ll be in Hethel the day before and it would be a good opportunity if it´s not too far.
What kind of event is this ?

What are we dong in 2008

Post by AlanM »

Following the fantastic collection of cars at Stoneleigh I'm looking forward to hearing what's being planned for our Donington Show (29/30 March) .

As usual I've allocated an indoor stand forElite/Eclat/Exce and we can also arrange an outside parking area to be reserved for owners to park together. Just let me know in good time.

On a different subject, Club Lotus members who are going to the Le Mans Classic (11-13 July) can save 25 Euros per ticket if you buy them through the Club office. You'll also receive a pass which allows you to park on the Club stand in the infield. Either call 01362 694459 or email me alan@clublotus.co.uk to book or for more info. We need to get all our ticket orders in by 15 March.
