Central England meet

[Orchardbike]

Sorry about that chaps, but Lotus…….

My car should be back with me in 3 weeks.

Just went back through the later options and nothing except the 26th/27th, which is most likely too soon and I can't do anyway
Any suggestions for late August or September?

I'm happy with either late August or September.
Should we start a poll for Aug 30/31, Sep 6/7?

Hi I cannot do Aug 30/31 or Sep 6/7, how many people are still available for 20th July or 26/27

 

[ADC]

Heh. I don't even know what to suggest for availability further out, because I have to surrender my car for replacement doors and panels at some point soon (warranty has been green-lit).

Whatever other people land on, I'll make an effort to come if I still have the car with me.

 

[Yorkie]

Can't do 30th or 31st August nor 6th Sept. 7th Sept currently ok.

Well ironically, after I posted that we would try for new dates, I realised I will be in MK anyway on the 20th due to other commitments, so I plan on being there for coffee at 0900.
If anyone feels the need to still meet I'll be there

I'm in the area too - I'll turn up at 9:00.

Meanwhile (as I discussed with Beachbum) I will arrange a later date for when Orchardbike has his car back finally (fingers crossed) - after all that is the point of this meet up . Hopefully that will work for a few others that can't make this 20th too.

Edit : Please ignore this post as Orchardbike can only make the 6/7th September

I cannot do any of these dates as I am away in Zante until the 22nd September so it would need to be after that date for me.

I’m still good for the 20th July if back on. Can’t make 30th/31st August as at Anglesey (Trac Mon) that weekend and early September will most likely be away on holiday.

 

[Beachbum]

Currently can do any of the dates except 13th/14th Sept
However obvious Q is: When does OB think he is likely to have his car back?

I was expecting it in around 2 weeks, but had a call from Lotus CC today and it’s up in the air at the moment. Will hopefully know more tomorrow

 

[Orchardbike]

Rather unsurprisingly, Lotus customer ‘care’, have not been in touch. So if we plan to meet on Sunday, then I will be in a courtesy car. As for the other dates, the only one’s I can do are: the 6thad 7th September.

Well at least a few of us will be turning up this Sunday. But it feels a bit pointless if you've not got your car back not to mention seeming a bit like we're rubbing it in if you are there in a courtesy car.
I guess we try to do the 7th September as well, if you have your car back by then.

Don’t worry, I’m fine with it. It’s Lotus that’s pissing me off!
