Factory-Visit + Hethel Trackday + Curry

That what happens when you follow someone with a flat tyre & a dodgy sat nav :thumbup:

:laughing: :laughing:

Any joy with “runflats” for the Evora Tim?

Not yet mate. will try at the weekend.

Many thanks - let us know how you get on! :thumbup:

ok so B&C have to order the parts but will do :thumbup:

It was great to catch up with so many peeps - next time I’ll try and make the curry.

One hour in I blew my radiator :frowning:
But big thanks to John Shorrocks for a taking a look and confirming the problem…
And an even bigger thanks to Ade for giving me a lift back to London - Thanks mate!

So I got Lotus to replace the rad with a triple-pass motorsport one and while they had it I also got them to fit a motorsport towing eye, replace the centre grill (mine was looking past its prime) and do a full fast road/track geo.

Picked it up yesterday and it’s looking good….

Looks in rude health mate :thumbup:

Here are some static pics from the day, by the time I got round to taking them quite a few folks, including most of the V6s’ were just about to leave :frowning: you can just see a few in the background, including Diegos :thumbup:

Gavs car with all the bodywork in place (the engine cover was rarely spotted when on track) :wink:

661

gpfisher (I love the look of this car!)

tim_marra (I’m not sure what kind of car this is, some sort of Ferrari perhaps, but it didn’t half shift!) :wink:

Don’t know who this belongs to…

Wills Exige - this contains more electrical gadgetry than a space ship

Don’t know who this belongs to…

And my motor in its grubby and clean states after getting home!

Sorry I took so long to get these uploaded :crazy:

Great pics of great cars :slight_smile:

Still haven’t cleaned mine yet :open_mouth:

The Yellow S1 Exige is Thommo’s fine motor.

Thanks for posting those.

Nice pics Bomber , and thanks for your comment about the car :thumbup:
That reminds me , what a great couple of days that was. It would be good if we could organise to do this event once every two years

Lol maybe find a nicer Curry house :blush:

The Yellow S1 Exige is Martin Donnelly’s fine motor
It certainly looked as though it was his the way he floored it out of the paddock.

:laughing:

Yep that’ll live with Thommo for a decade or three

You mean like the upmarket one right next door to the one we chose? :laughing:
Mind you, the pub we popped into had a good selection of off the wall ales :clap:

Top timing mate. It’s nice to have reminder of good times a few weeks later

Still washing the underpants

Great pics Pete, not many taken on the day by anybody really.

What was that black stuff that came off the track all over the cars? The preverbial ‘shit to a blanket’ springs to mind. I had to wash it twice in many spots.

It was concentrated turnip juice that had been spilt on the track :laughing:
