Cheers Martyn for another well organised and fantastic day. Lotus certainly showed the way today with a superb line up cars, it just gets better ever year..... if we get more cars next year will have to ask them to move that old B.A Trident out the way.😃

Cheers,

Many thanks for organising a great day. We really enjoyed our first time to Duxford and were disappointed to have to leave early but we had to wave Arsene Wenger off.

big thank you for all your hard work organising such a big turn out of lotus motoring !

never seen so many lotus cars and certainly was the first othe Evoras I had seen apart of mine in the last 3 months.

my partner and daughter enjoyed the day at Duxford and my first ever car show , so I was a bit unsure of the day goes?

big thanks to Bibs and co for helping me sort my leaky boot think I may have finally pinpointed the source ?

lovely weather and glorious background soundtrack of Spitfires alike was a memorable day.

home journey was very civil and glanced at my MPG as I parked 38.1 so didn’t cost the earth to travel there and back lol 😜

Great range of cars - looks good displaying them (mostly) by model.

Sorry I missed out - hope I have the same reason for missing out next year

There's a meeting this Thursday in Herts for anyone who wants to pop along and tell me all about it

Sad I had to get away early; nevertheless an excellent event.  Some fun tech chat and the usual good-natured abuse. Great turnout for Lotus (haven't seen that many Esprits for a while) and all meticulously sorted by Martyn.  Cheers mate!

what a fantastic event.  I had to make a sharp departure due to child meltdown so sorry didn't get to meet everyone.

thanks for organizing martyn.  The lotus pitch absolutely stole the show. 

[SteveB01]

My first event with the Lotus Forums. Thanks Martyn for organising it. Met some good people and saw some great cars. Hope to attend many more.

@SteveB01, your car looked amazing, a real pleasure to see :)

A big thank you to all of you that came along on Sunday   We certainly broke the 50 Cars mark this year and with a few leaving early and some arriving later on I'm sure we had at least 55 cars over the course of the day.

It sounds like everyone had a good time this year and no problems getting in this time

Not sure what happened to the 300 BMW's ! But as Bibs said we probably had the biggest one make display of the whole show

Please put the date in the diary for next year and hopefully we can expand still further 65 cars maybe ?

I bet @martynv is getting some grief from the staff at Duxford over the dead oil covered grass where a certain Green S4s was parked

Staff are also scratching their heads wondering what to do with all the scrap bits left on the grass where a blue S4 had been parked.

That’s dried chicken shite - good for the grass
