Elite/Eclat/Excel Treffen 2011

i am sorry i must do this in english and not in german,

hello lotus 4seater owners,

together with the Lotus Club Holland we set-up a Lotus eclat/excel/elite meeting, (here in holland)
because this cars getting much popuilair the last years
i have a register doc. and that says that there are allready 28 elites on netherlands licence plate
not every one is allready driven because some ones stands allready still for much years, and someones are getting restored,

i have allready contact to owners from the netherlands (with help from the lotus club holland, and internet) and everyone like the idea and wants to come with they cars,
so thats why i ask also the belgium and english people and now also the german lotus enthosiast with a lotus elite or excel or eclat,

we are also searching for contact to oliver winterbottum, (how draw the elite) and maby he also want to come, (maby anybody on this forum has contact to him and could ask him???.. )

the meetings should take place somewhere in april / may 2011 the place and time comes later, (somewhere in the middle of the netherlands)
so if you are interested please mail me, and i also putt your name on the list,

thanks for reading, and i hope that there also comes owners from germany/ or other country's (belguim, france.. and others) and let it be the biggest eclat/excel/elite meeting ever in europa!!!

you also can come with parts to sell to other lotus drivers, or maby selling a car because there are also people coming how love the shape of the car butt dont have one allready..

or maby come with a group so if you want to i can look up for a hotel or something nearby the meeting thats not any problem,

(if there are any questions you also can mail me)

i have news about the meeting,

the meeting is going to be on sunday 1st of may
this i also can explane why we putt it on that date,

the first weekend in May is a long U.K. holiday weekend from Friday to Monday (tey have a Royal Wedding) so there is enough space on the ferry to holland for engish elite/eclat/elite owners, the first notifications i get allready ot of england,...

Sat 30 April is in holland queensday, so the day after the most owners have much free time,

if there are people on this forum how just want to see at the meeting no problem, just come with your lotus,
butt the main thing is, that this would be the biggest eclat/elite/excel meeting from europa,

the location, we work on right now, so if i know more i let you all know on this topic on this forum

thank you thank you that you are like it so much the idea,

its a far drive for you, i like it very much that you want to come, i make also a little price for the person how comes the most faraway.. (its not a problem if you come with a exige)
because the lotus club holland also call up every member with a other type of lotus (its standing in the club magazine) because they also want then a (what they called) a pub meet, to bring people with a total other lotus in contact with elite/eclat/excel so there will be also much esprit and elise, butt the most importent thing is a record attempt to bring so much as possible elite/eclat/excels with eachother..

maby (i hope) you can get some other owners of lotus cars (maby eclat/elite/excel) also to holland on 1 may 2011 so you drive with a group, (maby you can putt a message on the forum somewhere if there is a club or a lotus enthusiastic group in switzerland..
