what can I say..... a fantastic weekend for me and "Smokey" at her first club meet. nice to see loads of people again (Carl H,Peter F,Chrispy,Dave H,Claire U,Andy W and Binny to name a few)- to meeting a lot of new faces (best example Essex Tony on the Saturday night--hope the hangover wasn`t to bad matey?). after a bit of a heart stopping friday afternnoon (thorn in my side!!!) Smokey performed great, I know that alot of you guys know that I have not done many miles since the rebuild (650 in 3.5 years!) and I have been starting to trust her more and more..... well after this weekend I feel that i could trust her as an everyday vehicle (not that I`m going to!!). a special thanks to Carl Hammond and his wife Alex for allowing me to stay over at Dereham the Saturday night with "Smokey"(which turned out to be Sunday morning after talking at the hotel with a tanked up Essex Tony till 12:30ish-great night!). it was very kind to put us both up for the night!. Another special shout out to Chris Parnham for sorting out Lotus 2006 it was a fantastic job getting the DMC`s to go round the test track and being an Esprit owner a very informative weekend at Lotus itself.- well done. also thanks must go to Dave Howarth for setting up the light box show at Arran`s hotel, and of course Arran himself for sorting out a fantastic gala dinner (worth every penny mate!!) and putting up with us all. A once in a lifetime event that i well never forget!. all the best and hope to see ya all soon.

Just to echo what has already been said on a fantastic weekend. Big thanks to Chris P for organising such a massive event!! Thanks to Arran for exclusive use of his fantastic hotel. It was 1772's first public appearance and I loved every second of it!! As Chrispy said there is nothing better than being part of a convoy of D's. Myself, Phil Peters and Rich Hutchinson had a real blast on the way to Lotus this morning. It was great to see old faces like Alan & Carl Hammond, Claire and Martin and meet other kind friendly members like Andy Withers, John Tien, Essex Tony, Andy Westerman, Chris Hawes, Phil and Rich to name but a few! Thanks guys and here's to the next 25 years!
