bingoking 265 Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 So, a change of plan from the published diary due to the owner of Petit Paris being on holiday in May so our petit dejeuner in the Grassmarket will now take place in June. The plan for May 4th is to meet up at Duck Bay Marina on the Bonny Bonny Banks o' Loch Lomond for breakfast at 10:00am thereafter at about 11:30am a blast up to Rest and Be Thankful for an impromptu photo shoot and then back south via Faslane. Google maps route Other routes are available to those who want a longer run. Our last Photoshoot at Rest and be Thankful If you fancy taking part, copy and paste the list below into a reply and just add your names to the list. 1: bingoking+1 2 Join Lotus Enthusiasts Group Scotland here! and on Facebook Link to post Share on other sites

GordonMasson 128 Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 Would love to come but alas just too far from home... perhaps next time I will make a weekend of it I've had a perfectly wonderful evening, but this wasn't it.

snoboardr 130 Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 Evora? Did I hear someone mention Evoras. I have another newbie question before I commit. Sorry! When you say "a blast up to" does that mean a novice supercar driver like myself would cope fine or are you going to be hurtling around extremely twisty roads at max speeds? Just that the first time I went on a "ride out" on my motorbike with more experienced bike handlers, I ended up in a hedge trying to keep up on a tight turn Link to post Share on other sites
bingoking 265 Posted April 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 Jason It's just a figure of speech. I always remind people to be sensible and be responsible for their own style of driving. There is absolutely no pressure to keep up with the the car in front and you should not feel intimidated by a car behind you. It's your licence and pride at stake so easy on the loud pedal. 1 Join Lotus Enthusiasts Group Scotland here! and on Facebook Link to post Share on other sites

Jamie Garroch 4 Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 That's quite some scenery. Super photo. Someone remind me why I live in the South East please? Closest I get to home these days is doing the 14 hour round trip to Kirkcudbright once a year in an 88 Esprit with 'Scottish' plates. Ho hum. I'm human, just not like the rest! Why?

Margery Cherry 5 Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 John and I will be there but need to know ASAP how many are going so I can arrange food at Duck Bay.

bingoking 265 Posted April 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 Hi Margery Welcome to the forum. I will add you to the group PM list so you receive information when we organise events. I will monitor the numbers on here, Scottish Elise's, LEGS Facebook and Lotus Ecosse Facebook and if I let you know the numbers on Friday will that give enough time? I will make the list on here the definitive list. Regards Brian Join Lotus Enthusiasts Group Scotland here! and on Facebook Link to post Share on other sites

I may bring a ladyfriend though (I do have friends really) but need to find out if she's available and willing before confirming a +1 ... If so I'll amend the list pronto.
