So, was anyone else at this? Have to say it was fantastic organisation and highlighted all the way bits of the Lotus 7 club. A credit to the man. My car decided to shed oil all the way there and back in celebration.

Hi Irish yep i was there with all the Kent guys and great fun it was too, seeing 150 odd Caterhams at the Dartford Tunnel toll was followed by a tunnel full of Caterhams was an awesome symphony of exhausts that has been left etched in my memory and as for Russell Savory's workshops some very interesting projects he's got going on there, especially the KA with a mid engined 40 valve V8

Brilliant day great club

Yep....I was there in a errr.......Crossflow.
Ditto the sentiments about the Tunnel. Brilliant stuff.

I saw loads going through Brixworth/Spratton A5199 in Northampton. As an ex Seveneer (W7 VHP is it still alive?) gave you all a friendly
wave from the carbon X-Bow going the other way ;-)

Wondered what the hell was going on :-) There was about three distinct groups I saw. Did think about turning round for some fun
but you were a long line to overtake

Glad you had a good day out, took me back :-)

I was there but went home early as my car wasn't feeling right after the diff started to whine more than usual so decided not to risk it.

I was there. What a great day. Took a friend along who had never been in 7 before. He's still grinning. He's also a much better photographer than me and has some great photos. Here's one of my attempts.

Yes I too was there, it was an amazing event and I can't thank all those involved, includng Russell Savory at Stow Maries, for putting in the effort to make it all happen.

I took quite a few snaps and you can see them here
