Event is now on Facebook (Hofmanns page), so a few signed up there.

Also listed on the playground.

Might be worth a trip, Hofmanns now have an Evora GTE for sale in the showroom too.

@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...

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.

Thanks for organising Alan and sorry to have missed you. Here are some pics.  That gold S2 was the star of the show, sorry Barry yours was a close second.

I've got a fiver on with Bet555 that when everyone turns up all they'll find is an empty place with a sign on the door saying "April Fool"!

 

 

 

 

Lol. Hope all goes well and you get some cracking weather for the day.... :thumbup:

My comments and observations are my own, invariably "tongue in cheek", and definitely, sarcastic in nature. Therefore, do not take my advice, suggestions, observations or posts seriously or personally and remember if you do, do anything, that I may have suggested, then you have done this based solely on your own decision to do so and therefore you acknowledge responsibility and accountability (I know, in this modern world these are the hardest things for you to accept) for your actions and indemnify me of any influence, responsibility, accountability, or liability, in what you have done. In other words, you did it, so suffer the consequences on your own!

Apologies for the amount of Pork currently here - we look like 911 Turbo hoarders at the minute! 

Alan - you've been here enough to know how to spell our name! Hofmanns!

My ride isn't going to help here then :-)

 

Trevor.

I'll get around to it at some point.

Good to see you there too Bibs! Thanks to everyone for a really ace turnout this time, the weather was kind and the bacon rolls were - as always - bangin'

Cheers @Pat@Hofmanns, let's plan to do another one after the summer hols perhaps!

Hi Alan. Nice to meet up again. Like the picture of our two cars side by side.

Tell me, did you and yours get the film parts and how did the audition go?

?

*** ALL ***

I spent quite a lot of time talking with a gentleman, his wife and his daughter at Hofmann's on Saturday. They were sat by the white Turbo out the front and were very keen on Esprits. I invited said chap and his wife to sit in my V8, start it up and so on and I think that they were rather smitten. His daughter was taking videos and everything!

He was wearing an Esprit jacket.

Now, he mentioned that he knew about the event because he had a couple of contacts on the forum (although I don't think he is on here) who were Lotus owners...are you out there please?

I really want to get in touch with him. Thanks in advance!
