Seemed a bit quieter than last year or is that to be expected.

[Gasman GT3]

Seemed as busy to me,  great day and an honour again to be invited to bring one of our cars along.   Roll on next year for the Esprit 50th.

What was/is the invite criteria?

Guessing just saying mate of @Bibsor @Kimberswouldn’t crack the case here 😜 (and might have the opposite affect and get black balled lol)

Is it an ex-employee thing plus special guests event?

I think you need to "know" the special handshake. Didn't even know this was happening.

On a couple of topics our leader had posted about wanting some particular cars for this event.

👍 Special guest being those who have been asked to display their cars. It's essentially a staff re-union.

So    @C8RKH      if you suddenly posted that you had just acquired a very special Lotus then you might get an invite. eg anyone on here own an Elise GT1,   doubt if they have that one covered.

I know of one coming up for sale

I worked twice for Lotus in my early years, hence my attendance (Even if Bibs only took one shot of me and absolutely none of my car, git).

But there were some specially invited Guests as well like Ollie Winterbottoms daughter Anne and our very own Gert @frb who is related to Fred Bushell.

And you sneaked in yet again you sneaky git you! Dunno who you bribe  

And as one of the original C5 test riders I had my own following over dad at this event! Been asked to write a piece about it.

Lotus royalty invited me. Well, my car actually: you get one, you get that other one.
