[ramjet]

Poor little (ok big) diddums. Is liddle Kimbers having twubble keeping up?

 

Ya big girl!

[Kimbers]

Getting old and decrepid! Thought you were going to bed.

[ramjet]

Like I didn't see that retort coming.

[The Pits]

Aye that it will and I was a mere Elise owning boy then, I've a few more hairs on the chest since becoming a Turbo owner.

 

Looks like yours has done wonders for your facial hair!

 

2015 is the year we re-create the Esprit in Norwich shot. The party will be a good time to put together a game plan.

Bibs, I'll PM you as to the reason why it's tentative and will have it sorted a definite yes or no within the next few days. But if it's a yes, wanted to throw our names in the hat before the slots ran out. Thanks.

[Bibs]

Would be great if you can both make it Matt.

 

Be nice to see a few more people make the effort and come along too, it really is a fun party.

[johnpwalsh]

We would love to come BIBs but as usual I will be back in KZ missing all the festive goodies. Two things really going to hack me off on this one.

No 1. Finally getting the chance to squeeze a pint out of you.

No 2. Seeing how long Kimbers manages while suffering a hangover from the night before.

 

Have a good one though we hope you all enjoy what should be a good night by all accounts

[Kimbers]

Its amazing what getting a second wind can do! And considering that at last years works Xmas do I didn't (couldn't) leave till 16:00 I may have to curtail what drinking I do. Though it's not looking good. Been asked what Apperitif Iwant, what wine for the meal and which Sprits I want afterwards already!.

[johnpwalsh]

It's a hard life Kimbers but I am sure you will manage and just struggle on like the true trooper you are. I will think of you and all your trials and tribulations whilst I make the really hard decisions over the festive season of, now will I have a coffee or a tea, will I go out and freeze my nuts off and do some work or skive off inside for another hour or so. By that you can guess I will be back in Kazi country so not the least bit jealous, no not at all, not even a little bit, not a smidgen, not a jot. Someone get me the tissues please.

Enjoy.

23. MJK - I'll ask what he wants to eat!

[Kimbers]

Bumping this up with MJK.......Anyone else coming?

 

I promise MJK won't tell his Bond Bug story or the one where he Colin and the G man locked themselves in an office for a long weekend, with just take aways and Brandy, to do the clay for the Esprit. Or the Spy who loved me story.....or Pretty Woman.....or......

 

Actually I can't promise that......

[The Pits]

We should have a menu of MJK stories to choose from too! Put me down for all of it!

Thrilled he's coming and also that he's well enough to come. Really look forward to meeting him.

[Sparky]

About time I saw Mike and Brian again.  Sod it, I'm in (health permitting).

[Kimbers]

I will also be passing Gatwick mate, not sure what time as I am at a works Christmas party and supposed to be playing golf.

 

You have my telephone number if you need a lift?

[Mysterae]

We are passing Gatwick too but not sure at what time yet. Staying at the Holiday Inn if that's useful Yasou?

[Bibs]

You can still add your name to the list if you can make it, I'm not taking the food choices to the pub until Thursday. 5,000 people a day visit TLF and if you take out the organisers and invited guests, there are only 17 other people willing to attend which is ridiculous bearing in mind you're having a chance to dine with the ex CEO of Lotus and also Esprit legend Brian Angus.

 

Grinches.

 

Add your names, I might even get some beers in

[Advantage]

Add your names, I might even get some beers in

It's a Christmas miracle.

[esp88]

Thanks Martin, Tony and  Alan

 

Lucky me  got  3  Offering the transport from  the Gatwick Airport to the Hotel.

1. Arrival time is 14:05 Terminal  S  (Norwegian flight no. DY2513).    If , no  delay  I will be outside the airport  betweem 14:30 – 15:00 ( I hope)
2. I booked hotel Premier Inn (Leybourne) same as last year.

Now  it's hard to choose who  I should  contact,  but who will  pass by  Gatwick around 3 PM ?
