Mark Franke discovered a fun backroad drive, and wanted to try to take advantage of the cool, dry weather this weekend. It's about an 80 minute drive from Route 17 off of 95 through the back roads of Manassas. Actually great driving roads no traffic. Nothing too crazy, just fun driving. A good excuse for driving your Lotus!
We would leave The Blue Iguana parking lot, 12727 Shoppes Ln, Fairfax, VA. on Sunday, 11/6/16, 1:00PM. Since this is not very much advance notice, we ask that you let us know via reply to this thread if you plan on going.
Note that Daylight Savings Time ends this weekend - we will have an extra hour of sleep.
Thanks!

Looks like a perfect day for a drive. Brunch at blue iguana at 12 followed by a fun drive. Will try to find an ice cream or coffee place to finish up with.

Prior to the drive, we should have a fair number of people meeting at Noon for lunch at the Blue Iguana, so we have arranged to have them reserve us a table. They are offering us a 10% discount on food.
Join us for brunch, followed by a nice drive! Brunch at Noon, leave for the drive ~1:00PM.

What an amazing turnout for our drive. Thanks to Mark Franke for discovering the route! We had 9 Lotus and 15 people show up at The Blue Iguana. --Bob Collum    |

Not everyone was in for the whole drive, and that worked just fine. When we got to Swirlie's soft-serve ice cream in Manassas (thanks for the suggestion, Brenda Franke!), we had 7 Lotus left in the group. The cars drew a small crowd. We should do these drives more often - anyone is welcome to post on the website when they want to do a drive. --Bob Collum   Attachments:

Who's that hottie in the white long sleeve shirt and blue jeans?
Thanks to Mark for setting this all up. It would be cool to see some of the MD roads one of these days too.

While we had a great time on the drive, later I was less-than-thrilled to find her idly writing on a piece of paper... "Mrs. Debbie Almighty... Mrs. Debbie Almighty... Mrs. Debbie Almighty..." |
