The British Meet 7.8.2005

[Jussi]

We have British meet here in Finland, just 17km. from where I'm living.

We're going there, I have never been there but seen some photos and there have always been at least one Esprit and also lots of rare cars.

Here's the link for happening in english.

Let me know if someone is coming to visit Finland

Accomodation is pretty cheap 20euros/person in two person rooms/day. I'm thinking to stay there saturday and sunday.

[Jussi]

Hey! This is on next sunday and I haven't got any confirmations.

So who's coming to Finland or are you all gonna surprise me

[Jussi]

Here are some foretaste for tomorrow's meeting B)

[marvin]

...And not an Austin Maxi in sight!

[Jussi]

That's only Rolls-Royce club people, they visited here in hotel Aulanko.

It's raining and thundering at the moment, so we'll see can I go to meet afterall

[Jussi]

We visited there the sun appears from somewhere and suddenly all the clouds gone away and road got dry.

It was a nice journey we were there about 2pm. and the whole meeting ends 3pm. Cars came out from the meeting and people wave to us, that's something new I was quite shocked

There weren't any Esprits around and there weren't lots of cars either. Weather was so bad in the morning so that affected surely.

We were sitting and drinking coffee when I almost choke from my coffee We saw this:

I have never seen Lotus Europa before, it was a quite funny car

Here are couple of proofs that my car is shining now

Here it is a real "people magnet"

Here are the rest of the photos:

British Meeting at Lepaa

There was also one Aston Martin DB9, it was a stunning car. Definetely my favourite of the meeting.

Sounds like a really good day - if a bit short! I like all the pics

How did people react to your car?

...and in comparison with the Aston?

[Jussi]

My car was a real "magnet" when we get there. People coming forward with cameras, We were like filmstars

No one came to talk about car but we went straight to see other cars, so didn't spent any time near my car.

It was a short but great day, I'm very happy that I went there.

And Aston... no one watched it when we arrived

[Paul C]

Looks like a good day, thanks

for sharing the pictures Jussi

I like a mix of non Lotus cars at shows, i've seen most of the UK Esprits

by now and the mixed events are always a good day out. Pity there were

no historic military stuff like tanks etc...

...to run over this
