April Fool's Wilts/Hants/Oxon/Berks/Belgium Esprit Meet Sat 1st April 2017

[swindon_alan]

@Mark Blanchard, your wish is my command sir! Let's just hope that the date does not clash with a wedding/christening/Mustang meet/goat baiting/ukulele competition that you have previously accepted...

Once more dear fellow Esprit pilots (and any other Lotus model owners most welcome) we are holding another Wilts/Hants/Oxon/Berks/Belgium (Filip?) get together at Hofmanns of Henley on the most appropriate day of the year as far as Esprit ownership wallet emptying is concerned. Then of course there are the very many classic and performance cars viewable in Hofmann's showroom and workshops. @Pat@Hofmanns reassures me that the amazing bacon bap from the burger van around the corner is still available

Saturday 1st April 2017 09:00 onwards!

Previous meets:

23rd July 2016

5th March 2016

28th November 2015

[Mark Blanchard]

Awesome stuff!  I'm in

 

[Bazza 907]

Hope to be there too

[CocoPops]

Will also try and make this.

[swindon_alan]

Don't let me down @purso. I need to run my paws over 232...

[Hofmanns]

Looking forward to seeing you all - I'll make regular checks on the bacon van in the coming months to ensure he is at 100%

[pitstoppete]

Sounds good to me chaps. Will pop this in the diary. No excuse needed to stretch the little legs of the new beastie.

[purso]

I will be there mate  232 is a little nervous but I have said it will be alright!

[Mark Blanchard]

I've had clearance from the management and we're good to go.  Promise I won't bring the Mustang!

[swindon_alan]

Awwww man, awesome!

Just need to get Kearley there now, assuming that he is not digging his new swimming pool out in the lawn

[Barrykearley]

Yeah yeah - it's on the radar. Need to get clearance from the diary holder

[swindon_alan]

*** BUMP ***

Come on, it is the Spring!

A start of the year run out, stretch your Lotus's legs, take him for a prowl!

[Escape]

Sorry Alan, we'll be in Dublin for the weekend... I suggested leaving from Heathrow instead of Brussels and timing our flights so I could take the Esprit and pop over to the meet, but that did not go down well. 

I'll do my best to make it next time!

[CocoPops]

@spunagain @JG220 @AlanW

[AlanW]

I can make this. Any excuse for a drive and look around Hoffmans. 

Thanks @CocoPops

[nigelsd]

Should be able to give the S2 a run out there for its first 2017 event ?

[Trevsked]

I'm planning on coming along for this.

 

Trevor.

[Mark Blanchard]

And you can offer everyone a test drive in your Ferrari!

For your sake I hope it's sold by then.

[Trevsked]

As luck would have it is gone Mark :-) however I may have decided to sell the Sport 350 by then and that would be with Hoffs.

[Hofmanns]

Just to let everyone know (as promised) I performed a routine check up of the bacon van on Saturday and found everything to be in good order. 

[Bazza 907]

That's known as "Taking one for the team"  Pat

[Hofmanns]

Its a tough job Barrie but someone has got to do it. 

[Sizona]

Should be able to make it, look forward.  

[swindon_alan]

Nudge nudge wink wink...

Any more takers?

Has Mr Kearley had take off clearance yet perchance?
