A stunning event this year with over 30 Esprits and much much more. My pics tend to centre on our 100 mile Hoon to the event, sorry there isn't much from the event but I was still buzzing from the drive there!......and a little hung over....well alot....from our normal pre-event drink.

Pre event polish with very expensive super Resin polish

The Hoon was AMAZING! On a very busy national holiday morning people were falling over themselves to get out of the way of 8 Esprits all "Playing" happily.....obviously within the speed limits.........:steeringwheel:

The event was sunny and warm and I'm really badly sunburnt but was a great day.

Excellent pics guys, thanks for sharing.

It looks like that polish works damn well! Your Esprit is super reflective.

Man ... great pictures. we have a pretty nice sized Lotus group here in Atlanta. Hopefully there will be another summer event coming up where we can all gather like your group does.

is that an Essex Esprit I see in the background ?

Love the black V 8 with gold wheels too.

your red S4 looks fantastic Tony.

Thanks. Yes it's a brilliant polish called Autoglym Super Resin Polish. I had to do it as we've had a few weeks of really nice weather (in the 20's) and she lives outside. The polish has a UV protector.

Yes it's an Essex. Number 17 I think and absolutely stunningly immaculate, great number plate of 1 ESX.

The Black on with the gold wheels and Sport 300 front Valance is Bib's car (Owner of LEF). It's also the loudest they've had on the decibel meter at the track at 114 :mf_dribble: Makes your ear drums bleed!!

Bibs and I ran up there together before meeting the other cars at the services and driving the rest of the way. I would love to say we drove carefully and dwe obviously did..........:huh:
