Backmarker 6 Posted May 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 So just the two of us at the moment. I'll be Espritless on Sunday.

Backmarker 6 Posted May 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 Oops ! My calendar said 15th May but either way, it should read 22nd May. I have now changed the calender entry to read 22May and apologise for any confusion. Hope no one turned up last weekend Perhaps this is one of those meets that is destined never to take place Wing Commander Dibble DFC<br /><br /> North Midlands Esprit Group<br /><br />NMEG "the formidable squadron"<br /><br /> "probably the most active Esprit group in the world" Andy Betts, Castle Combe May 2007 Link to post Share on other sites

Backmarker 6 Posted May 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 OK guys can we do a roll call please. At the moment Alex seems to be the only Lotus. Alex, if that is still the case do you want the run. I can lead in my Jag or fly co-pilot. If it doesn't light your candle then we can pull the plug. Could people post a response by say 5pm tomorrow (21st May) to say whether they'll be there and if they are coming whether they'll be in a Lotus or not. If no one has confirmed their attendance by 5pm tomorrow, I will post to say the event is cancelled.

arbell9 21 Posted May 20, 2011 Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 Hi guys, unfortunately my car is still at Windy Ridge awaiting the alternator to be replaced, i will be getting it back next week. Lets cancel this one. Alex Link to post Share on other sites
dodgy 26 Posted May 21, 2011 Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 Think this is a non runner, I spent all day Thursday fitting new discs, pads and a wheel bearing, Only to find the Discs were missing a machined recess that allows the brake caliper mount to clear it. So every time I tried to set the end-float, the disc locked up solid. I re-fitted the old discs and pads, and did the Gresham school run in Norfolk, but the baking is still shaking the front end apart, so I will be taking them off again to see if I can get them machined at work next week. It's Castle Combe next Saturday, can anyone make that? Лотос - для тех которые знают разницу ENIGMA for those who are paranoid or download one Link to post Share on other sites

Backmarker 6 Posted May 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 OK guys. I don't think a formal announcement is required but just in case: Tomorrows meet is cancelled.

ajheath 100 Posted June 5, 2011 Report Share Posted June 5, 2011 Chumraids, I have just caught up with this, and what a sorry tale it reads, Do I have the only running Esprit in the Midlands? I hope you all have your problems sorted before Supercar Sunday. Hope this is not an area jinx as I'm off the France on Wednesday, now where is that recovery card?
