The Spring 2023 edition of our 24th usually-twice-a-year Lotus get-together will be held Sunday, May 28th, from 10AM to Noon.
We usually have in the neighborhood of 20 to 30 Lotus, and hope to do even better this time out! We will once again hold this GYLO at the Wells Fargo Bank parking lot, at 750 Walker Road, in Great Falls, VA. (This is behind where the Katie's Cars & Coffee is held,
on Saturday mornings.)Anyone who would like to stay afterward, for lunch at Katie's - join us!--Bob Collum

For newcomers to GYLO, here is a map to show where we will meet: (Georgetown Pike would be just off the top of this map; Walker Road is on the right.)

I spoke to loc at lotus of DC to try to see if they can make the event and get some exposure. They confirmed that Jamie, the head tech and their service director will be there representing them. They will bring an evora that is currently on sale

A great turnout at GYLO this morning - a total of 33 Lotus showed up! A really great selection of models, highlighted by our 'favorite Lotus' contest winners: First Place: Kevin & Denise McGovern's Elite
Second Place: Jeffrey Hammer's Esprit
Third Place (tie): the Blue Caterham and the Exige (sorry... I did not get names for these winners... but they did get prizes, really!)The model variety today was amazing: Along with the Elite, we had three Sevens, a Lotus Omega, an Elan Coupe and an Elan Roadster, several Esprits, as well as several Elises/Exiges, and a bumper crop of Evoras. As always, it was great to get together to see friends, old and new, and look over the wonderful cars. Mark did his usual good job of running the show, the Hammer family graciously handled sign-in and vote counting, and Ed Ellison handled drone photography. I'm anxious to see his pics, as well as Alan Olson's - and anybody else that has photos, please send them in! Thanks again for participating in our latest GYLO! --Bob Collum      |

Bob and everyone, thanks for a great get together - and the votes for favorite Lotus. I own the chili red Exige. "Just_Ed" on Bat and lotustalk.
We had a great time.

I was serious, by the way, about going to Hawk & Griffin for Le Mans! Might be nice to hang out in the pub for a couple hours watching the race on Saturday evening.

Yes Mark that would be fine. My preferred image credit is "formerinstants.com", send me an e-mail or PM if you need anything in high-res or w/o watermark.
