1. Dom
2. Robin (but only for SC elise, V6 exige out of my price range, but will still come for a night out with the turnips).
3. Scotty
4. Andy G (work permitting)
5. Neil
6. Keith
7. Me too Saj
8. Campbell (depends on timing and also only if SC Elise involved...V6 Exige would need sale of both kids and even then they'd not fetch enough )
9. Ali (spent this years budget already but consoled that 2-11 trade in might be a wee bit more than Scottys)
10. mark_h - been 'humming and hawing' about having a V6 in my life!
11. Gary - don't like the look of the V6 but I'm up for a Norfrolic.
12. Frank - anytime except December
13. Kelvin - on jury duty from the 7/11 but will throw a sickie if it's a long drawn out case as apparently very few cases last longer than 200 days (it says here in the notes) FFS
14. Malcolm (f**k the extension)
15. Mr Momo - to get on the new track with the SC Elise and do a recce for the Elan 50th Anniversary next year
16. Kenny
17. Ed (arse)
18. BoynerT72
19. DDtB
20. Ceejam
21. RDH
22.Gasgas
23. Sanjoy (been 8 yrs since my last visit)
24. Benny
Porsche Spyder RS
BMW 128 ti
Audi RS Q3

Yep starting to sound interesting, and great to see that Lotus are still interested in the elise / exige community despite the greater ambitions.

I can't plan that far ahead, so will not add to the growing list, but watching with interest.

From a logistics perspective, it would seem easier to take a car to a Knockhill session, the factory could call it winter testing (especially in April).

Yes, but denies the chance of a factory visit for those who are interested, and of course the kudos of some laps of a relatively famous (well, historic!) track :-)

Exactly!

It would also mean that we'd miss the opportunity of getting Benny in the gimp mask and getting his wee lad out again.

Oh I agree seeing the factory in the flesh would be a great opportunity, anything else would be a bonus. I'll start hoping for more free time next year.

Apparently it would now also deny the opportunity to view Norfolk Dancing Ladies at close quarters :shock:

I wasn't going to comment on that, but spent enough time in Gt Yarmouth waiting for flights offshore to know you have to pick your establishments carefully.
