I had the only Lotus I saw at Katie's today. (Mark Franke was there, but his Esprit is in the shop.) There was an amazing showing of TVRs - 11 of them, while I was there. Quite a sight, and I'd love to see a bunch of Lotus at a Cars & Coffee! I'd be interested to know if it's possible to get a good number of Lotus. As I see it, we have several options, including -
1.) Gather a large number of Lotus at Katie's, at the "normal" start time - by 6:00AM. I know this start time is a barrier to some people, who think that the hours before 10:00AM don't exist on a weekend, but...
2.) We could take a chance, and have a bunch of people show up at Katie's around the time that many of us "first-shift" people are leaving, between 8:00AM - 8:30AM. It's not always possible to get good parking spaces at this time, depending on the crowd in attendance. Even two parking spaces together probably can't happen.
3.) We could opt for getting together starting as early as 8:00AM on a Sunday, at Fairfax Circle (Cameron's). This is a far smaller get-together than Katie's, but has plenty of parking spaces. Cameron's has good coffee, hot chocolate, and bakery goods. I'm there pretty regularly, and Bob Scates is a semi-regular. Annie Dalter and Mark Franke have also attended.
Please let me know if & when you'd like to come out!

Bob, I agree with you and would love to see this happen. I went yesterday but was part of the second or even third shift lol. I wouldn't mind the 6 am timing as long as there was commitment to be there and get some good spots together.

I'm finally going to make it to Katie's this weekend! The aim is to be there around 6:30.

So I have to drive out to the CDC autox in Winchester (not to compete) but to see if my car will fit on the trailer I'm hoping to borrow, maybe I should roll out to this first since I don't have to be there for tech or anything.

I'll be there, in front, regardless. Based on the current weather forecast, I'll drive the Seven.
Hope to see a good bunch of Lotus there!
