On Saturday, April 17th, we had a virtual tour of the Classic Team Lotus facility in Hethel, hosted by Richard Parramint. The tour was conducted via Zoom, and we had a very good turnout. Richard did a good job of showing us the Lotus competition cars in the shop, and pointing out details, and outlining the history of the various models. Thanks to Mark Franke and Kevin McKracken for arranging and managing this event! Also, a big thanks to Richard Parramint, for providing an interesting commentary about the cars, and about Lotus history. --Bob Collum

Was wondering if you were on the call. It was great! And, Bob, with more attendees than could fit onto the screen at any one time, it looks like we each may have had a different set of faces up on the screen.

The Zoom call shot was one I stole from Facebook - that one is the Golden Gate Lotus Club's call. The other shots (including the two below) are from when Mark & I toured CTL, back in November 2019, as part of the Lotus Driving Academy track day event. --Bob Collum

Was wondering if you were on the call. Sadly, I was driving home from Florida. I was bummed to miss this.

Jeffrey: Did you do the NJ drive? Sadly, no. After 12 hours of driving the day before, I couldn't muster up the energy for what would have been another 12-15 hour day in a car, even a Lotus. I am eyeing future events for sure.
