    does anyone know if the factory have anything planned in the next couple of years?.......I'm missing the mass get togethers........it could be due to missing out on everything this year.....but I do like a good Lotus meet with old mates over a few beers, somewhere in Norfolk......lol I'll start the excuses...... In 1961 a Lotus won its 1st F1 GP in the hands of Sir Stirling Moss (wasnt the factory team but hey thats no matter)......that'd make 2021 the 60th anniversary 45th anniversary of the Esprit
