Hi All,
I getting a bit paranoid that no one is now reading the Forum or showing interest unless its, parts for sale or cars for sale!
I have had no response at all for this event Zero, Zilch.
I now know how the Editor feels!
Come on this promises to be a fantastic day.
We have had little to get excited about lately except the great performance by our Olympians (Paula Radcliffe excluded).
We`ve got crap weather,crap economy,crap government, but great cars and we should be out showing them off and enjoying them.
Contact me on
andym@lotuscortina.net if you are thinking of joining myself and Julie at this event. 14th September 2008

Hi Andy
Normally I'd jump at the chance but like a lot of Lotus Elise owners, I'll be at the top of the Stelvio pass in Italy on the 11th. This is the road they tested the Elise chassis on and it appeared on Top Gear as the best driving road in Europe.
