Old Lotus don't die they get fixed and if it cannot be fixed with a BIG hammer then you have an electrical problem.

Many thanks must go to Gareth from CLOG for managing to get us free tickets for this again.
And a great new parking location !
Really cannot see why more didnt take up the offer to see one of the premier historic race meets in the calendar.

Got to be the best Gold Cup meet of recent times with good weather too. Many thanks for organising tickets Gareth.

Virtually every race featured a grandstand finish and we almost had a Lotus victory in the Guards Trophy GT race - well done to Sean Walker for realy taking the fight to Jon Minshaw's mighty Lightweight. Awesome day.

Never seen Oulton Pk so busy on a car day for years.
Had a great day and even Mrs Jester enjoyed it, despite me droning on about my memories of cars and days gone by at Oulton.
No such problems, I hope,with my fellow Nylocers and Norloggers.
Favourite car of the day? Lovely 1930s(?) Alfa sports in padddock, deep plum,almost black, colour.
So glad I saw the Ferguson P99 in the pitlane and able to grab a few snaps as I missed the track demo.
I was there in 1961 when it won the Gold Cup, you know (or did I already mention that?)
Note to Chevron. We still haven't had that long chat I'm sure we're due about the cars of my youth.
And once again, a big thanks, to the elanman for supplying tickets.

Pics to follow, Martin - never fear, camera was always in hand!
Jester, it was fantastic to see Sir Stirling in the P99, wasn't it? I am deeply envious that you were there to see it win in period. I feel deeply honoured to have seen Whizzo Williams win at Goodwood a couple of years back instead. Not quite the same though! Gutted we missed out on a good chin-wag. How are you fixed for Donington this weekend?
