I decided to make a weekend off it.. seen some friends near Ilford, and now just got to my hotel... will be at the meet at 12.30ish then off to shopping at 3ish and then see some family in Oxford.. worked out well.. hope there will be plenty of Lexus owners.

Had a look at a google sat view.. i can see 2 roof car parks.. one with yellow stripes and one with redish.. these are off oak tree road to the back.. is it any one of them?

There is only one way into Bluewater, just stay to the right

hand side as you enter the Bluewater slip road, follow the road round, straight
across about 3 roundabouts it is sign posted “ Cinema in brown signs”. As you
follow the cinema car park sign off to the left keep right , this will put you
in the middle car park if its raining, or the left lane will put you up on the top floor if its dry

Oh ok hate kerbing wheels!

Sounds epic! Any pics you can share? How is the Elise for long journeys?

Some pics of the trip

With ear plugs the elise is fine. Lotus' reputation for comfort and handling remains true. WIthout earplugs the exhaust and general wind noise at 85mph (GPS) would be very tiresome to say the least!

See you all in a bit!

[Ace8800]

Also anyone know of a decent car wash place near hilton hotel? (Dartford Hilton)

[Stuno1]

Is there such a thing? They wither wear rings, have exposed zips, use rags used to clean other filthy cars etc etc

[Stuno1]

Double post

[lotusdave]

Head into blue water. Then come back out. Follow signs for dover. A2. (not London). On the slip road back onto A2 is a place I use for mine.

[lotusdave]

...their rags aren't too manky! But if you want to avoid micro swirls I agree do it yourself is only way. However on a silver car with dozens of stone chips...

[sofasurfer]
