Looks like I might be going, do you think anyone there will have a Tech 1, if so I will definately bring the Esprit. Also if we are parking in the LEF area does that mean we need to go in the competitors entrance?

What time does this start?

I'm bringing the family along in my 997s 'cause I'm currently looking for a car to do hill climbs and sprints in..so this is your chance to talk me out of buying a elise ;-)

Oh, why I remember, Prescott hill clmb is having a "french weekend" over this weekend. They have a Veyron and F1 car racing up the hill. !! This is near Cheltenham so not far away. May be worth a look as you are in the area. http://www.prescott-hillclimb.com/

See you tommorow.. oh I'm the fat guy with the car mad 5yr old..

Dave,

I'm not sure how anyone is going to recognise who is who, but it may help that I will have my son with me, who is a few inches shorter than me and a bit of a stick with short hair!!!

Iam quite tall 6'-3" and 16ST, so not hard to miss! Most people know me so you can always ask around and they'll point you in the right direction.

There are no competitors, everyone just piles into the paddock unless they know the circuit and want to park elsewhere. It's all very informal. There might be a couple of people on the gate to give advice, but that's about it as far as organised parking goes (within the bounds of common sense). Go through the competitor's entrance, you'll be fine.

You won't be shocked to hear that I was tending to concentrate on the Elans when I was around the track taking photos, but these two beauties happened to get my attention too. I have the fullsize originals if anyone wants them.

[matk]

I took 90 odd photos including some of BigSi's car at the "pre event polish" and also a couple after handover..........

The first 3 are of me as a passenger in an Elise with a 300 bhp supercharged Honda engine. well worth the

[Bibs]

Some piccies.

Big shout out to Alan Morgan at Club Lotus for all his hard work on the day and the 6 months running up to it and for his time to help us out

[MPx]

Great pics Guys to round off a great day. Many thanks to all in LEF and Club Lotus.

[Katie]

Took loads of piccies at what turned out to be a great day out. Here are some of my favs.....

[arbell9]

I have had a couple of days to reflect on Saturdays events at Castle Coombe. Its was a wonderful day and the handover to Bigsi was a moment I will never forget. I am really glad I had my kids there to witness what good people and families do for each other. Truely tremendous. Lots of people chatted and took an interest in Caitlin and Calum to make them feel part of something which was more than a big boys and their toys day, thankyou to everyone for that.

Here are a few of my fave shots from the day:

Friends mixing....

Bibs pondering a new plate, just missing a letter tho!!

great mix of cars on display, shame I couldnt take Ellie

Action on the track

Does this suit me????

Bigsi has arrived and the moment begins to build, everybody is relaxing.... he is non the wiser

Tension mounts and the parade lap is delayed due to an elise crash on the track, driver was airlifted to hospital

He has seen it but cant belive it!

Is that really my car???

Sunglasses all round because of the bling!

An amazing day!

[esprit350]

great day and thanks to Katie for the cakes....wonderful

[Kimbers]

Oh god, after looking at all those pics I realise that, though I'm obviously good looking, I don't look good in photo's. thank god most of me are from the back!! Bibs, on the other hand is the other way round!!

[mayevora]

great day and thanks to Katie for the cakes....wonderful

Totally agree :yes Thanks Katie

Anybody else go home with 'wind burn'? Forehead starting to fall apart today

[MPx]

With all the emotion...forgot to congratulate us on the turnout - a most impressive display of Esprits and certainly the best ever at Castle Combe.

At 9:00 am I put Lionel on the end of a line of as many Esprits as usually turn up all day.

But by lunchtime, our bit of the line is so far away its hard to see in this shot. (Beyond the pink lady!)

And there were even more around the corner behind me (and indeed others around the paddock car parks)

Fantastic sight - well done all

Mike

[dodgy]

got to add a thankyou to Katie for those lovely munchies

and did anyone catch where the photos of the day are getting posted on the net (the official ones)

with all the commotion, there was not many pics being taken of the track, anyone got one of my car??
