Hants Meets

[ADF]

@KennyN Santa clause is a bit late then,probably elf & safety. Are you sure you haven't had one too many Xmas sherries and dreamt it???

Seriously though hope it turns up and is as good an experience and car as we all hope it should be.  Can't wait to see it especially with the bold colour choice you've gone for,  hopefully at Thruxton (probably going, weather depending) .

Local Lotus counts gone up, can only be a good thing, but go easy on those backroads their greasy as hell at the moment. Had the jeep sideways a couple of times but that was with muddy tyres. 

Hope everyone had a good X mass and New Year, ours was good but a bit tainted by suddenly losing a dear friend to the C, after a long brave battle.

Hope all have a great 2023 ahead, Live long and prosper 🖖

Tuesday 17th for us to have a good old look at Kenny's Emira? Mayfly?

[Techyd]

Absolutely!! Not sure I’ll make it to Thruxton now anyway but am nonetheless very excited for Kenny’s new arrival!!

Passenger rides…😉

[Dobbin145]

Great to see some new and old faces at Thruxton this morning. Now I've worked out how to use this regional bit of the forum we'll pop down to the Mayfly on Tuesday night.

[Kevin Wheeler]

Glad you could make it last night, Howard. We were very pleased to see you and Tonia.

Paul is suggesting another trip to Chandler's Ford race centre. Anyone up for it?

@KennyN @Dobbin145  @Simon Gooding have already said yes!

[ADF]

@Kevin Wheeler I'd be up for it.

[Kevin Wheeler]

How is the Emira going @KennyN? 1000 miles yet?

@DaveC72 got your Elise yet?

[KennyN]

So far, so good thanks @Kevin Wheeler  I've been pretty busy, so I'm not even half way through the run in period yet, disappointingly.  The tracker is now working and a few minor niggles have come to light, but nothing serious.

[Kevin Wheeler]

March 14th. 

White Hart, Stockbridge.

Suit everyone?

[ADF]

Do I have to wear a suit, I'm probably too fat for mine now.  Tuxedo might fit still.

Sorry couldn't help myself.

Hope to make this one.

[Kevin Wheeler]

So long as it is not your Birthday Suit!

[Kevin Wheeler]

Good to see you last night and thanks for not turning up in your Birthday Suit @ADF

April 18th for next one? Any venue suggestions?

[ADF]

Cheers @Kevin Wheeler good to see everyone, couldn't inflict PTSD on you all plus I expect you had recently had dinner.  As its just up the road I might pop over to Thruxton when you have the Emira experience (although I might be worried, that means you just sit for six months waiting only to then get to sit in a broken car for a bit then go home thoroughly dissapointed- sorry if that's in bad taste)

I am defiantly pissed about Ks situation, if it is possible I think I am as annoyed/angered by the situation as he is. I hope they don't blow this, potentially one off, opportunity.

Must give a big thanks to @pbharcourt for his sage advice, knowledge and experience.  To be honest I can't see it happening anyway so that helps a lot with any feelings of disappointment.  TBH I have never dealt with anyone who wants to sell but won't give a price or even engage with the process. (I've heard sellers often overvalue what they have but I think it's all a bit in the realms of dreamland)  I may be a bit daft for the brand but I am not a nieve moron, but there are plenty out there.  You never know though.   Mixed feelings on you selling your snatch but financially it's a no brainer and I dont think I've known a better cause to support, It's probably doing to the russians what I suspect I did to the large rat I encountered on the way home last night (please don't get me wrong I am generally an animal / nature lover but being a country lad rats are fair game). 

[ADF]

@Kevin Wheeler Is it your emira experience Tomorrow?

[Kevin Wheeler]

It is @ADF

[Techyd]

Afternoon all!

Anyone around for a May meet ?  Equally there is the Lotus day at Castle Coombe on the 27th which I am booked on; is anyone planning on going to that?

 

[KennyN]

Hi Dean, A meet-up in May sounds good, I won't be in a Lotus, that's still an ongoing saga.  Any preference for location/date?

[Techyd]

The Empress of Blandings at Copythorne perhaps?

Suggested dates from me are 9th, 10th, 16th or 17th May

 

[KennyN]

9th or 10th works for me 👍

[Kevin Wheeler]

Can't do the 9th. Could do the 10th.

[Techyd]

10th sounds good then! 🙂 

[Sirclip]

Should be able to make the 10th too. 👍

Hey Dave - Tomorrow night! (10th!)

[KennyN]

Unfortunately, I will not be able to make it...I'm a bit late to the party, but Covid has come to visit following a work trip
