I saw this cassette for sale. $111.

This is a small event, Sundays in Fairfax City, VA. We get together at DeClieu Coffee at 8AM (when they open), and head down to the Truist Bank parking lot. This lot, right next to where we had our last GYLO event, is at 4020 University Drive, In Fairfax City, VA.
While small in quantity, the cars and people are great! This week, our own Jeffrey Hammer was there, with his Esprit. (I hope he posts some of his pics here; they are MUCH better than mine!)

This morning was a strange Saturday at Katie's - moderate temperature (50's F), and a bit overcast, but no threat of rain. With all that, you'd figure, 'big morning at Katie's'. However, it was a REALLY slow start. We still had a few available parking on the front lot, at 7:30AM!
I was - AGAIN - the only Lotus there. C'mon, people - where are all the other Lotus owners, on a Saturday morning?
The undisputed star of the show was a beautiful Mercedes Gullwing. (Not many places you can pull up in your new Lamborghini, and be ignored, because of a mid-1950's car, parked next to you!)

The Washington DC auto show released their schedule. The show will be from Jan 31 to Feb 9, 2025.
Looking forward to it. It's always a good show. I particulary tend to enjoy the Art of Motion display with all the exotics. The art cars are cool, too.

Thanks to our friend, Richard Parramint, here is a picture from the 'back of the pack', at the LOG 41 in West Virginia, in 2022. In the photo, you can see BOTH of our cars!
(Every pic I have seen from this LOG panoramic pic setup, before, was from the front, and you can't see much of either of our cars!)
(That's our Caterham, lower-left, and our Type 49 Elise, toward the upper-right!)
Also, that's Carle's Conway's aluminium-and-blue Seven, and Norm Beaver's green-and yellow one. Who else sees their car in this picture???

Lotus Reveals Record-Breaking Order Books for Eletre & Emira

Lotus reveals record-breaking order books for Eletre and Emira
17,000 orders for the SUV and sports car placed worldwide as the company looks to bounce back from heavy losses
Lotus has confirmed that the first half of 2023 has been a record-breaker for sales, with around 17,000 orders placed for the new Eletre SUV and the Emira sports car.
Okay, so the eagle-eyed among you will point out that we already knew this, but the positive noises are worth hearing all the same.
The Emira was launched in 2022 and 2,200 examples have been built in the UK this year, a 381 per cent increase. Crikey, no wonder order books are full for the next two years.
And deliveries of the Eletre began in China at the end of March, with Lotus’ first electric car (we’re still waiting on the Evija, harumph) expected to arrive in Europe in a few weeks’ time.
