Newlands Corner Monthly Meet - Sunday 21st July

[TomE]

Time for another Sunday breakfast gathering for some of the finest bacon rolls around. In collaboration with the "little cars" this is our regular third Sunday of the month event, a chance to gather with like-minded enthusiasts and a cross section of Lotus models.

An informal gathering with no particular runs in or out organised, just a chance to chat, look at cars and take in the view. Join from 09.00 when the cafe opens for bacon rolls. We'll probably be around until 10.00/10.30.

Gonzo, and i will be there

 cant beat a bacon roll with idle chit chat

sometimes technical but not often 

[Sparky]

At risk of great derision from certain parties, I think I'll be coming along.

[Bazza 907]

I'll hopefully be there 

[Gonzo]

Good to get to Newlands again after a spell of work-induced hibernation.  

 

temple - I told you it would be more fun going cross-country... 

[temple]

Yes cross-country can be fun, new places and scenery, to behold,

 

Some what strange to have two towns` called Redhill so close together with same buildings

 

One can only assume did someone, get lost AGAIN as you did at Godstone  

 

Also on the way home, you nearly took the wrong road  

 

The big wide road M25 slow but its straight, SO people who cannot read maps all go in straight lines

 

without roundabouts      still great fun

Certain parties +1 !!

Hehehe!  Aborted en route, lost all boost and erred on the side of caution. Turns out the wastegate capsule is jamming open, so nothing nasty.  Driving a 2-litre with no turbo is really depressing!

 

Only the second hiccup this one's ever had - and the last was just an alternator 3 years ago, so mustn't gwumble..

"Driving a 2-litre with no turbo is really depressing!"

you wanna see how a proper, non-turbo 1.8 drivers? I think it's just time to change a car, man!

[obione]

Its was a good turnout - just a shame I had to stay for such a short time.

 

I too this picture on the way in. It's location is of course classified...
