Re: Club Lotus Meeting Litchfield

Re: Club Lotus Meeting Litchfield
Hope you can make it 'Radar'. I'm down the road from you in Penn - Wolves, and you have the same car - Red 1988,
As Alan says, drop them a line and reserve you BBQ tickets. Last year there was far more food than it was possible to eat. Good bunch of Lotus owners and not too serious or 'stuffy' like some clubs

My Excel is a little care-worn but goes quite well.
Fancy driving up in a mini Excel convoy?

Re: Club Lotus Meeting Litchfield
Good meeting tonight. 3 Excels present including Bob's newly acquired one (to go with his Esprit).
It was first anniversary of the Staffs branch and I hope that you can join us next time.

Re: Club Lotus Meeting Litchfield
Tonight's Club Lotus Staffordshire meeting saw Phil win the small concourse competition - well done.
Edged it from an Esprit and mine (knew I should have cleaned the dead flies off!).
Any way 2 Excels present and first and third achieved.

Re: Club Lotus Meeting Litchfield
Still trying to work out how I won that
It's the first competition of any sort that the car has been in since I have owned it.
I'm sure you would have won Alan without the flies
Sorry about the legs!!!!!!!!!
