Ernie Panks Posted July 3, 2002 Share Posted July 3, 2002 We have a talk taking place during our August meeting on the history of Lotus and their cars by Vic Thomas, founder of the HLR. This promises to be a really interesting talk for those of you interested. Vic owns many cars including a Series 1 and some Lotus 11's, Jag C & D type etc. He has promised to bring one of his collection along for post talk drooling. We will be meeting at the Cornwallis at 7pm for a 7.30pm blast off to the talk venue via some excellent roads The reason this is being held elsewhere is because the Cornwallis wanted £150 for the use of their conference room for 2 hours! There will be a small charge of £3 per head to cover costs, with any profits going to NTL. The talk is being held at the Garnier Social Club in Eccles Nr Quidenham in Norfolk. The beer is excellently priced (about £1.65 per pint) and it has an extensive car park. If you wish to come along for an excellent evening, please email me.

Nifty Posted July 3, 2002 Share Posted July 3, 2002 Ernie, Count me in please. By the way, can't you find somewhere a little further from my house..5 minute blats just aren't on. [THREAD HIJACK] Hoopy, Where are you going in Finland? I've just been invited over to see the old flame and am thinking of arranging to coincide with the Jyvaskyla Rally (1000 Lakes)so I shall be in Keskisuomi around the second half of August. I presume you'll be back by then? How many 7s are there in Finland? I only ever saw one in three years and that had a German plate. [/THREAD HIJACK] Nifty. Mother - if your reading this, I'm not selling this car!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scooby dooby doo Posted July 3, 2002 Share Posted July 3, 2002 we reckon they'll be 40 sevens. We'll be there just long enough to catch the first day of the rally. Go here for more details... Dave Hooper - dmch2@lineone.net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Birtwisle Posted July 24, 2002 Share Posted July 24, 2002 Sounds like a damn fine plan to us!!! Alex & Rach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ernie Panks Posted July 25, 2002 Author Share Posted July 25, 2002 Thanks Alex. It's worth mentioning that so far we have attracted a lot of interest in this and with a bit of luck it looks as though the meet will be attracting some yummy machinery. Try this: Le Mans D Type Jag Lotus 7 Series 2 Lotus 7 Series 4 Europa Plenty of 7's All we need now is a Series 1 & 3 (I don't think Matt will have his Series one together by then!) I've thought a bit on how to try and atrract more Lotuses, so if anyone has an Interesting historic Lotus I'll waive the £3 entry fee.
