Hants meet up

[Kevin Wheeler]

Hopefully, the Hampshire Bowman on the 28th will have an open fire!

[DaveC72]

Looking forward to this on Thursday, first one I will be able to make for a while.

Also looking forward to @The Pits telling us his secret in getting Mrs The Pits to agree to a GT430... exciting stuff!

1930 (That's the big hand on the six and the little hand on the 7 for @pbharcourt ) onward  here

@840joe, @peteyg, @Kevin Wheeler, @eeyoreish, @Simon Gooding, @RJB, @Leggy, @Nelly and @Bibs if you fancy showing us your new Evora

 

[pbharcourt]

Cheeky monkey!

I am meant to be working but am going to try to get a few hours off to attend

[eeyoreish]

I'll be there.

[peteyg]

I'll be there and hopefully bringing one of our Norwegian Lotus Owning cousins who happens to be over in Winchester for a couple of days. He's not on the forum but has an S2 Esprit. Perfect timing!

[The Pits]

No secret @DaveC72 just keep it broad brush strokes. She knows I'm getting an Evora, why bore her with the details?

Hope to make this although might bring the new bike which needs some running-in miles.

No worries Mate - Enjoy!

[Nelly]

Pretty sure I will be able to make this one.

[Leggy]

Out of the country on business unfortunately. Hopefully next time.

Set up another account forgetting I already had one, so I was also down as leggy

Don't know how to delete an account.

Fab thanks.

[pbharcourt]

Great turn out of lotus cars and lively chat 

Plus.....a couple of chaps from Norway!

Whats not to like?....umm possibly the pitch black car park!

[DaveC72]

Great to see you all tonight.   3 Esprits, 2 Evoras, an Elite and some bloke on a bike.  And our visitors from Norway.

To be fair, the car park looked a lot bigger/ better on Google Earth.

I think I'll do a proper recce next time.

Any suggestions for the next location?

[The Pits]

Not the nicest ride home at 58mph in the pissing rain but good to see a decent turn out all the same. 3 Esprits, 2 Evoras and an Elite will always be a sight for sore eyes!

[eeyoreish]

Good to see everyone again and loiter suspiciously in a dark car park...

I'm fairly relaxed about next venue as long as (a) it's on a road, (b) has lights, (c) I don't have to park 3 fields away. 

 

[pbharcourt]

Rownhams services it is then Neil!

[eeyoreish]

Easy access, floodlights and overpriced burgers. Sounds ideal!

@DaveC72 is already a regular in the loos there so he can probably get us discount in the cafe

Imagine my surprise when I rang that number in the cubicle to speak to "filthy Sue" and you answered Neil...

[eeyoreish]

That'll teach you.

[pbharcourt]

How about 'The three tuns' in Romsey at the end of October or start of November?

[DaveC72]

Great pub, but parking is a PITA

[pbharcourt]

Your right Dave, dont want a repeat of 'the midnight cowboys'

Just drove past the 'potters heron' with a lovely big well lit car park, not good for dogging but great for talking about cars!

[eeyoreish]

Works for me, not too far from work. Have we got a date in mind?
