Anyone fancy coming along this year for our xmas meal? Mike Kimberley will be along if you'd like to meet him too.

4th year! I'd love some of you wonderful people to come and join us again this year. It's always been nice to see a good selection of our members cars on display. It's a lovely family day out, I'm organising the whole event this year so would love a good attendance. Lotus cars preferred of course, but any classic/sports/interesting cars are welcome as are bikes. We usually have a few pre-war Bentley's rock up on the day too! 1. Bibs - Evora

We’ll be there tomorrow. Weather looks perfect, too!

Hello to everyone, I haven't been very active since joining some months ago because I've not had much to talk about, but now I have. I'am now the very proud owner of a Gold Elite 504 (CYH 803V) People might remember one for sale in March at the Historics auction? Well I decided that it would be mine and finally it is. I collected it this Saturday from Maidstone Sports Cars after quite a period of recommissioning. It turns out the hammer price was just the "first instalment". But with new rear brakes, fuel pump, fuel sender, anti roll bar and all manner of other bits and bobs along with some rear seat belts and a little bit of paint and some oil it's ready to meet the …

Looking at our calendar we are not going to make the Lotus Festival at Brand Hatch this year, which is a great shame, as we really enjoy that one. If you have the chance to go, and are not sure, it's a great event. So, apart from the aforementioned TLF breakfast meeting on 13th August at Bangers Diner, we will also be attending the Lydden Hill Classic Festival on 12th August - half price admission if you bring a classic car so the flyer said. And the 'Oh So Retro' Show 24th September in Margate - 1,000 cars in attendance apparently. We went a couple of years ago, and it's gathering pace, that one.

I'm hoping that someone on this forum would be able to recommend me a reliable, good bathroom fitter. I bathroom is stripped back to the bone and ready to start, we know what we want and how we want it, just need to find someone who can help us get it done. Does anyone know such a person? Or even recommend sites where I could find someone, Thanks
