Gareth, I won't be travelling in the convoy as I will be in the Newark area on Friday morning. I am dropping my wife off at her Mother's in Aslockton and will leave from there. I have suggested the route A68, A697, A1 to Newark then the A17 to Norfolk ETA 5:00 - 5:30pm. I travel this route often to the Newark area and usually allow 3 ½ - 4 hours to Scotch Corner, 2 - 2 ½ hours to Newark and would allow 2 to 2 ½ hours to Norfolk. It is a Friday and the traffic can be quite heavy so the timings could be longer. So if no hold ups 7 ½ hours but could be a lot longer if the roads are busy. There is a Shell fuel station and a Restaurant/Farmshop just off the roundabout where the A1 joins the A17 and could be a meeting point and there is lots of parking. I do't think the convoy will be there before 2:00pm. I plan to be there for that time and will contact Ian Parkin to check on the whereabouts of the convoy and there ETA at A1/A17 junction. Hope this gives you a reasonable idea of timings. Bran

Our next breakfast meeting will be at The Fennel Restaurant, Inverurie which as you will know hosts the legendary V8 Breakfast meet every Sunday. We have been there before for breakfast and is a must for petrol heads. A great selection of cars other than Loti will there to oggle at. Usual times apply 10:00am -midday. Suggested meeting point at Stracathro Services for a nice leisurely jaunt over Cairn O' Mount or if you prefer an even more sedate drive via Aberdeen. Please arrive at Stracathro in time to leave at 9:00am 1 & 2 Brian & Jackie

I have just spoken to Ian Parkin and the plan would be to meet at Leven Lotus showroom from 8:00am for departure at 8:30am sharp Friday 28th September. The journey on a Friday will probably take between 7 ½ - 8 ½ hours, possibly a little longer because it is a Friday. If you haven't already got a ticket for this event either from the lotus70.com website or from Ian there is no point in travelling in the convoy as the event is sold out.

I have been waiting on Ian Parkin getting back to me with a time that they are all leaving Edinburgh, chased him up today and I will post up here when I know. I will be in the Bingham/Newark in Nottingham on Friday morning and leaving from there around 1:00pm to head for Dunston Hall. Hopefully I will be able to tag onto one convoy or another.

I presume you already have a GTE in the display, if not I'm bringing mine.

Yes, got mine this morning. I read the QR Code on the Yellow Sticker and it states: YELLOW - TRACK PARKING 1. THIS TICKET IS STRICTLY NON-TRANSFERABLE 2. CLUB/OWNERS WHO TRANSFER TICKETS WILL BE REMOVED FROM THE EVENT 😯 Need to make sure I don't have to move the sticker from right to leftI

Life’s too short to start reading this post from the start........ again. 🤓

My M100 is Elsie my Esprit is The Beast and my GTE is Eva!

Please contact Jim if interested Hi guys, I have had an invitation by Jean-Luc Cartwright, the Tesla Store Manager, for Lotus car club members and other interested ‘petrolheads’ to visit their Service Department in Edinburgh. The date suggested is the morning of Saturday 27th October 2018. Jean-Luc says a typical visit would usually consist of: A presentation detailing the history and planned future of Tesla. A guide round their workshop with a technician explaining the differences in their drivetrain and chassis architecture. A walkaround of the actual vehicles with a member of their team. The opportunity to try the fastest production car in the world for yourselves! Tesla would provide breakfast/snacks depending on the time of day. I will take names and contact details (e-mail or phone number) on a first-come, first-served basis until the limit of 30 is reached. Could you please let me know by Friday 19th October and I will reply to the first 30 to confirm their acceptance. Please pass this e-mail on to anyone else you think will be interested (ladies and gents). Regards, Jim Grant. (01324 556910)

Thanks for the link @Bibs will organise ticket today.

BBQ on Friday, I haven’t seen anything about this. How do we get tickets for this and how much? What are you plans for travelling on Friday John, I was planning to put something up on LEGS to see who wanted to travel in convoy.

Sorry we will not be able to be there this weekend as we have extended our holiday in Switzerland. 1 & 2 Richard +1 (Breakfast only) 3 & 4 Steve & Julie 5 & 6 David & Shirley (breakfast only) 7 & 8 Johnny & Audrey (breakfast only) 9 & 10 Fergus plus one

Sorry for the late notification on this. The Bo'ness Revival Classic Show and Hillclimb takes place over the weekend of 1st/2nd September and I know that many of our regular breakfasteers (probably not a real word) will be either displaying their cars, taking part in the hill climb or just spectating. I have therefore organised with Mannerstons Cafe and farm Shop which is just a few miles from Bo'ness for us to have breakfast there from 9:00am when they open. Might not be early enough for those displaying their cars but early enough for those wishing to go as spectators. We have had a few meetings here in the past and it is a popular breakfast venue. Please head into the Cafe when you arrive to avoid any delays. If you plan to have breakfast please add your name to the list below as I need to let the venue know how many to expect. 1 & 2 Brian & Jackie

My order now complete email received this morning, thanks @Bibs, presumably you cancelled my second ticket ordered because I didn’t think the first order had gone through.

@Bibs I also booked twice so you can delete one of my tickets.

Thanks Dave, I have order No 4025 but have received no email confirmation. I clicked on the link you posted for my Account and low and behold I saw your account...... no just joking, it took me to my account and I can see my original order and a second order I made just in case the first didn't go through. can't see how I can delete the 2nd order. If I can't delete it and i receive 2 tickets and someone needs a ticket I can forward one to them.

I also created an account but can't see how to get into it on the site.

I was told that confirmation email from Dunston would be sent out at 10:00am tomorrow.

Did you get an email confirmation? I have had nothing yet.

Both nights booked. I was quoted £105 for Friday and £140 for Saturday. Thanks for organising this @Bibs looking forward to the event.
