Ditto to all of the above, except im coming up the M1 way now, and have Mr film maker Alan P with me for the ride. (been out all day taking pics of me car with me new camera, and took Alan with me, he took loads, and I rather think the new esprit DVD has a cover picture now. just gotta decide which one)

looking forward to the ride up.

If you get there early enough (about 9am), you can sneak into the hall, before CL get to the door, and see all those rusty elan upper links for free.

Oh, Club Lotus are muppets, aren't they?! I've just checked the latest magazine, the Donington ticket booking form, and their website, and there's not a single mention of an opening time...

Last year the doors opened at 11am. Those of us meeting at Newport Pagnell services (8:30 departure) are aiming to be parked up at Donington by 10am, so we get there before it's busy and can have a good natter in the carpark.

Oh, Club Lotus are muppets, aren't they?!

Oh be fair!

They did a cracking job of organising the stoneliegh 'Esprit special'

...Oh sorry, hang on, yeah i remember now, it was a right fiasco
