The first time we did this – a Lotus-themed cars & coffee - was back on July 12th, and we had a great turnout!
We will gather again on Sunday, Sept. 13th, 10:00AM. Location: Blue Iguana parking lot, 12727 Shoppes Lane Fairfax, VA.
If you are interested in a drive (starting at 7:15AM, ending at Blue Iguana by 9:45AM), let us know ASAP.
We will be handing out VGYLO prizes at this event. We will be masked and socially distanced at this event.

A little more on the drive. I've assembled a backroad drive through Virginia, including a number of scenic byways. It is a ton of fun. The first leg has a bridge out so I've altered the course a little which is still blast. There is gorgeous VA mountain and farm scenery. The 4-5 times I have done this the roads have been fairly quiet which makes for nice driving. The roads are curvy and very well paved. It would be my pleasure to share this drive so if you want to go, RSVP to Bob so he can let me know who to send the details to.

The 'Parking Lot Gathering' was a great success - 15 Lotus there! (Would have been 16, but Norm Beaver's Seven developed an allergy to Virginia. It broke down on the Cabin John Bridge.)
It goes to prove, once again, that all the quarantine has everyone missing socializing, and talking about cars.
It was great seeing everyone!

The Esprit Photoshoot is next Sunday, 9/20/20. If you want to participate, send me the year & model of the Esprit you will bring, and give me your email. Details of the event will be sent to you.

Glad folks liked the drive. I appreciate those that came out so early. Looks like the parking lot event was a success as well.

Thanks, Jeff! I'm pleased with how they turned out, it's not often I get out for nice golden contre-jour light like that...
Maybe next time I'll try to rig something up to take shots during the drive itself!

I was up early yesterday, and noticed that the sun was very red immediately after sunrise!
