Bibs Posted August 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 Any takers for driving that beautiful blue S2? Also, about that X180 NA - Desperate now or does anyone have a trailer to pull Malcolm's car to the festival and back from Lotusbits in MK?

Trevsked Posted August 22, 2013 Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 Looking forward to seeing the S2 as they are probably my favorite G Esprit. And of course there are't too many on the road hence the difficulty in getting one to Brands. Trevor. Quote I'll get around to it at some point.

GordonMasson Posted August 22, 2013 Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 Brian (Bingoking) and I have got our wires crossed somewhere along the lines and I am booked into the Thistle but Brian is booked into the Holiday Inn @ Maidstone. I think the Thistle has space on the Friday night but its full on the Saturday. Does anyone have a booking for the Thistle that they intend to cancel? If so please give me a shout before you do, so that we can get everyone in the same hotel. Thanks 07775 701246 Quote I've had a perfectly wonderful evening, but this wasn't it.

peteyg Posted August 22, 2013 Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 Pilko has been booked to take my car. Please can you keep an eye on him (and my car) and make sure he doesn't misbehave too much and take lots of photos for me. Wish I was going but hope you all have a great time!

GordonMasson Posted August 22, 2013 Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 So we got an S2 ......no chance of an S then? This is going to be one hell of a line up! Of course if Bibs had really made an effort he would have also got "The Silver Car" and "IDGG 01" and the new Esprit prototype......unless of course he is sandbagging??????

Andjons Posted August 23, 2013 Report Share Posted August 23, 2013 This one passed me by - can't buy tickets online; is it still possible to get a ticket, so I can come in my S4 Comemmorative limited edition? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveSmith Posted August 23, 2013 Report Share Posted August 23, 2013 Gates open at 8am and we need to have the cars on display by 8.45ish I think and there may be queues so I'm planning to arrive by 8am latest.

Bazza 907 Posted August 23, 2013 Report Share Posted August 23, 2013 Thanks I'll aim for 7.30 as it's a bit of a drive. Weather on Sunday looks good but Saturday.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew - would/could you be around for both Saturday and Sunday ?? Not sure about the Esprit Timeline but there still appears to be space on the TLF club stand tomorrow (Saturday) and the S4 Commemorative is quite a striking model visually so would be good to display. Its Bibs' call and he has the display car tickets and VIP parking hangers. If not, but you still want to visit the festival, tickets can be purchased on the day at the gate (but at full price rather than discounted).

I live 5 minutes from the UK side of the Eurotunnel so could try to meet and drive up the M20 together if you like ??
