Rob

They will be selected on that basis so that we have a mix of models and power.

Not sure yet how the decision will be made, but working on it.

By the way, how is Laura. Still looking as tasty as ever?

This sounds brilliant.
I'd be up for it. I was thinking of going anyway.
Was at the Calssic Speedfair a couple of years ago - highly recommend

I'll come along to. I'm not bothered about going on the track (although would be nice) or the show n shine bit. I'll just display my car as used and abused

Count me in, you cant have an event like that without having a lovely blue 340r, and a lovely Kermit Green one, (Cue Cammy), and a lovely white one (Cue Scotty!)

Definetly up for being a static/ cheaper entry as i'd be up there anyways.

Probably not one for the track mind.

I reckon you should try to get 20 different cars though, so no duplicate colours etc. Maybe try to have Limited Editions as well as variants, and dare I say it, what about the VX220?

Lotus on the drive dependant of course i will be in!

I will probably make it a pre-requisite that track drivers take out passengers for four laps or so, but straight in and out again so that you do not miss track time.

It will be good hearts and minds for S_E, plus an eyeopener for joe public that have never been out on a circuit in a trackday car before.

Stuart can arrange the system, with 35 cars, each one would be able to take out four pax in 30 mins, so over 100 hopefully happy punters.

This sounds amazing and it would be a great opportunity to meet people instead of loitering around in cyberspace. Think I would be in the 'parked up got one not particularily spectacular spec' zone but I will clean it

once i put the wheels back on, fix the roof (bodge), sort the interior

Just spoken to Stuart again, and as I understand it, Caterham bought or agreed with Lotus, the licence for building Caterhams, so almost the same car, different name, but now a modern day developement of it.

So our Caterham family are indeed welcome along as part of Lotus.

ps thought that I had better check my facts on the above.

"In his wildest dreams, I doubt Colin Chapman would have thought his lightweight sportscar would last half a Century, that it would still be a benchmark for performance and handling, be sold in over 20 countries worldwide and provide unrivalled opportunities in motorsport. The Caterham Seven has achieved all of this and more.

The 7â€™s evolution continued when, in 1973, Caterham Cars obtained manufacturing rights from Lotus. 7â€™s from then on were dubbed the Super 7 â€“ an apt name, as it was becoming clear that the carâ€™s fundamental design was nearly impossible to improve."

I'm up for this if there is space!

Good news on the Cat front!

I also think space should be made for our only (todate) female track driver
