Can I start muttering quietly about 'customer development cars' or ' Will that supercharged version of the Roadster be available in the next ten years'?

Not only in 10 years, but will it kindly not leave another oil trail up Prescott

Non-weekend would also be good for me (still have plenty of leave left), combined with another factory tour would be no bad thing - or a visit to a specialist dealer?

Cheers,

Good idea Dave---Me too! Factory visit sounds a good venue to meet.A date for me though would be Friday 8th Oct---or any day that week.The following week I will be taking a short break abroad.

Frank although I have just sent a message agreeing with DaveW's factory visit idea, another thought could be booking a table for lunch at nearby Mercedes World restaurant on the Sunday 10th Oct Brooklands Morgan Day---Not sure how we would go about doing that or even what the cost would be???? If we could firm up on a how many heads, then a quick telephone call could settle it.

What does everyone think?

Sounds an interesting idea, the Gullwing is a good restaurant or maybe Brooklands could cater? also not so far as Malvern from BXL.

Like the idea of lunch at brooklands, good idea. As for factory visit I think that is a good call bu should be a new thread. My work schedule means midweek is just not an option for me so someone who can be sure of being there should take on the organisation.....

I'm game for a lunch and Brooklands/Gullwing would be a good option; however, I know already that October is a busy month (work wise) for me and therefore, I'll check my dates before voting.

Brooklands and lunch would work for me.

2nd October Russell Patterson is racing at Snetterton, plan to pop over to see how he does. Also was some talk on a mog race at Silverstone but can't remember the dates.

If we're going for a factory visit can we do it when the Eva is back so we can get a look at the size and shape?

I have a call out to the Manager at the Gullwing restuarant for Brooklands Morgan Day on the 10th Oct to find out whether we could book reservations for ? how many---if I say 12-14 (I would take 2 places)is that too many?----How would this fit in with everyone? I think we need to decide fairly soon---by the weekend maybe if this is to work.
I would try and agree some restaurant flexibility with the booking---particularly as I would not want to expose myself----financially of course!!---to any hefty costs.

In the first instance any suggestions as too numbers????

This is the link for the restaurant--I think you can also find menues plus appropriate costs. When I spoke earlier today to a receptionist she seemed to suggest that the menues change fairly regularly---but if and when the manager returns my call I will check this out in more detail.
