RE: [doc] FW: Test track

[Mike Sumner <delorean_mike@xxxx>]

Chris,
 
I DEFINITELY will commit to going to this meeting, however I hope this is not going to be made a bit of a "exclusive Delorean" club. You know I'm a loyal member to the club and financial restrictions are the only reasons I haven't got a Delorean of my own.
 
If you could let me know of the exact schedule of the filming, then I can work something round it.
 
I agree that I do not want to miss this opportunity but I'm afraid you'll have to accept a Focus blotting your Delorean landscape.
 
Regards,
Your increasingly obsessed Mike Sumner - 178

Mike,

Sorry definitely no Focus's allowed around the track. Indeed the only
bystanders allowed are those arriving in a DeLorean.
Lets re-cap:-
We are very hopeful that the track will still be there in 2006. I am less
optimistic that I can gain the necessary permissions to organise a meeting
there before then.
If you want a guarantee that you can drive your car around the teat track,
you should let me know by Monday latest. I personally think you would be
ill-advised to let this opportunity slip by......... Come on commit!
Only Paul for the Irish republic has done so up to now! Incredible
after all the previous comments!
Not only is this a chance to drive around the test track, but you would be
appearing in I hour long, Important BBC programme.
Mark has already agreed to drive his car around the Palace of Westminster
as part of the filming, where an MP and former Government minister is being
interviewed as part of the programme.
It's your last chance.

Chris,

I know I haven't got a D, but I would love to be a spectator if this thing
went ahead.

I don't suppose they'd let a Focus go round the track?!

Anyway, just a thought.

Dear list,

Following private, productive discussions with Robert in N.I. he has come up
with a helpful suggestion. The BBC are organising some filming at the
factory which involves driving around the test track! About 6, possibly 8
cars could be involved. Robert has generously agreed that we may be able to
use cars from the UK club, instead of the local cars he had in mind!

The slight downsides are:- The filming is scheduled for Sat and Sunday the
29th and 30th of November03.We would have no guarantees that the filming or
track drive would actually happen if the weather turned nasty. We will have
to pay all our own expenses. It will involve being ready for something that
may not happen, and its only 6, possibly 8 cars. Your car could well get wet
and dirty!

If you are interested, and available and have already expressed interests
to me, please contact me again.

If you / we agree we are going, we must fulfil our commitment! We cannot
risk letting Robert or the BBC down. What do you think?

Incidentally, Robert has assured me that the track WILL still be there in
2006. We have checked as much as we can and there seems to be no imminent
plans to re-develop it.

This does not necessarily preclude the May meet, but as I said before, that
would be a bonus IF it happens, no decisions are imminent on that yet.

Regards Chris P and Robert L.
