All fantastic cars on that list.

It's a really great day out - come rain or shine - so if you haven't been previously you should give it a go.

[Vipers 392]

Gutted as only down the road but on holiday, do you think they can move it to the following weekend 

[rizla603104 76 1 Vehicles]

I am terribly sorry but my braking issue is not going to be resolved by 6th May - I think it is probably best I let my space go to someone else.

[Choppa 161 1 Vehicles]

I'll take up one of the spare spaces. Martyn I'll PM you with my booking reference. See you all on 6th!

[JayEmm 1,270]

If there is a spare space still remaining I'll take it! @martynv

[martynv 66]

Thanks Guy's. Sorry you can't make it Paul, best not to drive the car with no brakes though !

I'll update things tonight, but at least a couple of places left still.

[esprit22 67]

Hey Martyn, meet up at Services as before?

[PAR 195]

Any space left? Just need to convince the wife to go this way for the long WE if so

Hi Martyn,

I've been in touch with her and she is still coming but not displaying her Lotus. You can remove her two places from your list.

Cheers,

Steve.

Thanks Steve.

Can probably squeeze in a couple of small ones then, I can't see any early Elan's this year would be nice to have one or two as we had a few nice ones last year. Failing that has anyone got an S2 Esprit or a Esprit Sport 300 ?

Weather for weekend looks excellent

This is Britain.  Bring scuba gear.

It'll piss down if you turn up but the chances of you being there are pretty remote, so it should be a fine day, then.

Are you two bitching again.....  We need to sit you down and get this sorted... 

[Sparky 2,074]

I can't wait to see him!  Well, to be fair, not him but his brake solution.

[pete 1,166]

Is he bringing Fran then

[Chillidoggy 3,568]

WTF is Fran?

[pete 1,166]

Chubby fingers.

Hi All,

Duxford is this Sunday 6th May. The final details are as follows.

Firstly please read and understand the following information from IWM Duxford and remember I've signed these on your behalf:

Rules and Regulations.pdf

In particular note the requirement for oil drip trays if your car has the odd leak and is likely to soil the grass.

This year the dedicated entrance gate on the A505 will be open from 9.00am till 2.00pm.  Gate 1 is where you need to enter and this is marked on the attached map below, note this is NOT the general public entrance it's much further down the A505 there will be yellow signage 'Car Clubs' provided along the A505 directing you to Gate 1. We've been assigned our usual pitch in front of the Civil Airliners and is clearly marked on the map below. When you arrive please say you are with the Lotus Forums and the marshals will direct you to the correct area. If you arrive before me please stay with your car just in case we need to move things around and those of you who need to leave early need to make sure you're in the front row. We'll need to park fairly tightly this year to ensure everyone has room so please park carefully, the area in front of the Airliners will be two deep. If you are leaving early please watch your speed and take care as there will be crowds everywhere. Please leave the area up to the gate clear for the LEC Guys to park together as usual @Steve A could you organise this please.

You will ONLY be allowed access if you have a display permit your ticket alone is not enough. If anyone still doesn't have a permit email [email protected] a copy of your eTicket and Confirmation email requesting a display permit ASAP.

For Duxford you need to head for:

IWM Duxford
Cambridgeshire
CB22 4QR

If anyone wants to meet up for a chat beforehand  I'll be at Birchanger Green Services as usual from 8.00-8.25am, a bit earlier this year as the gates open 30mins earlier than previous years. Details as below:

Birchanger Green Services
Motorway: M11

Where: at J8 and from A120

Postcode: CM23 5QZ

In case of problems On the day you can reach me on 07940 012011. Any questions please PM me or post in this thread.

Don't forget the entrance Gate is open till 2.00pm, so you can always come in the afternoon if it's raining in the morning or you just can't get out of bed !

I look forward to seeing you all next Sunday.

Thanks for your support

Martyn
