Hants Meets

[Kevin Wheeler]

Gentlemen

Welcome to the 2019 attempt to arrange a get together.

Last night we decided on Tuesday 22nd as the date to meet and the location is to be Stockbridge.

May I suggest the Three Cups pub on the High Street? http://www.the3cups.co.uk/

There may be a car park behind it, but there is plenty of parking on the High Street. I hope that Stockbridge is fairly safe for on street parking!

[KennyN]

I look forward to it 👍

[DaveC72]

Great, thanks Kev

[Simon Gooding]

Thanks Kevin, and lovely to see everyone last night, Tommy and I both enjoyed ourselves and we will look forward to 2019

[Techyd]

Yep this in my diary!  Really enjoyed the meal last night - thank you again @Kevin Wheeler for organising 🙂

22nd is in my diary 👍 Maybe I'll get one of the Esprits working by then but don't hold your breath...

[Techyd]

Happy new year all!

So whats the venue for next weeks meet?  Shall I just drive around Stockbridge until I see a Lotus!

(Mine is SORN'd now for a couple of months so I won't be in mine 🙄)

@RoflOnMyWaffle, feel free to join - even if you're Lotus-less.  A harsher man than I, @Kevin Wheeler, might suggest that this is @eeyoreish's default state...

[Kevin Wheeler]

Good job I've got broad shoulders!

[eeyoreish]

Dave who..?

I'm hurt. Although it's true the Esprit is still defaulty. As it happens so am I (man flu) and I'm sure you won't want me sniffing and sneezing over everyone so I won't join you tomorrow I'm afraid.

Sorry you're poorly, hope you feel better soon.

Lovely to meet everybody for a natter last night and an exciting drive home down some very icy country lanes in the Firecat 

Next meeting on 19th Feb, hopefully with better weather!

[KennyN]

It was good to see everyone again last night.  I hope that everyone got home safely, it was pretty slippy!

[eeyoreish]

19th is in my diary 👍 Maybe I'll get one of the Esprits working by then but don't hold your breath...

[peteyg]

Best I could do @KennyN

Before and After. 

[KennyN]

@peteyg Strong work!  It's not quite as shiny as the "art" in The William Walker, but it's a good start 🤣

[peteyg]

Did my best. Not sure it was designed for the engine bay of an Esprit! It's very pitted so not polishing up as well as hoped. 😆

[Kevin Wheeler]

Not just ice to deal with on the way home - 6 deer jumping about in the road - spread over 4 different occasions!

Thankfully, managed to miss them since I was driving slowly because of the ice!

And for those who need reminding and those not there we decided on the Anchor Inn at Lower Froyle for the 19th Feb. Anchor Inn (Snow and default state permitting!)

[peteyg]

At least you didn't hit one of those pesky, stationary, brightly illuminated lampposts...

[eeyoreish]

I'll do my best for the 19th now my man flu is subsiding. Maybe @DaveC72 can shame me by bringing his Esprit along. Oh no, wait...

[Nelly]

I hope you didn't spend too much time polishing my pipework @peteyg!

I shall make sure I bring it along to a meet once its replaced so everyone can admire it.

Sorry I was late but glad I could swing by for a quick one last night.  I hope the orange Elise isn't too badly hurt.

[Kevin Wheeler]

No. It was only a scratch!

[Simon Gooding]

Evening Chaps, just checking all still good for the 19th? Anchor Inn Alton?

I am up at the Factory this Thursday, so I am hoping I might have a couple of photos to share of the new arrival next week!!

All the best

Simon
