Jerry; Thanks, you are an OK guy even if you are a snoot elitists

I am trying to build my super workshop (well a 1 car attached but it now has an epoxy painted floor, painted drywall and decent lighting). I want to plumb in shop air. Does anyone have any hints? At the moment I am planning to put up 1/2" galvanized piping. I will be doing some painting but not much.

Did you cover the Cloroplast with something or did you get it that color? What do you do with the edges to seal them?

Oddly there are some K&N filters that you can order online directly from K&N that their dealers cannot order. I did this for my M100. They were also cheaper than listed by my local auto parts store, that couldn't order them???

Good luck with the car show. The car looks good. Hope you can start driving it soon.

A friend reports that yesterday when he made his hotel reservation 160 rooms have been reserved at the LOG hotel. I quick count of rooms based on their floor plan shows about 260 rooms. The up side is that there should be plenty of people and plenty of interesting cars.

I would like a pudding head helmet and goggles. I just need to find some goggles that look vintage that can fit over my glasses. Can't cost a fortune either.

Those pictures look suspect to me. I want a new 340R type for the street. A new technology 7, having much of the feel of a 7 without being a copy.

Yum!

OK, I know a Se7en doesn't have much luggage room but... Please bring your Lotus and or Se7en related memorabilia, pictures, models, art, crafts, children's art to LOG 30. Help me out. I lobbied hard for turning the arts & crafts competition into a gallery event. There will be some interesting stuff (objects de art, factory drawings, models and more) for all to experience but we (the attendees of LOG) need your submissions to help make this an awesome, fantastic, spectacular event.

That's a scary picture. Guys scratchin and a tuggin in the background.

The latest issue of Lotus Ltd’s bi-monthly magazine REMARQUE arrived at my door today. It has the LOG registration form, and reminds everyone that now is the time to reserve a room at the hotel and get that registration form filled out and in the mail. The registration form and more, such as descriptions of the meal choices… can be found at http://www.lotuscarclub.org/log30forms.php E.g., “Our Saturday buffet will include a selection of ham, fried shrimp, baked lasagna, sliced turkey with trimmings, salad bar, dessert bar and beverages.” Yum. I’m already getting too fat to fit into the Se7en. I urge you to attend LOG 30. Thirty years of an annual car event is hints that it is something special. I love it and have missed only one LOG since 1991.

The 46th National Apple Harvest Festival is taking place the weekend of LOG http://www.appleharvest.com/ It is about 10 miles from Gettysburg. An antique car show is part of the festivities. Yet another reason to include the spouse and children.

I keep thinking I want to go to this event. It seems overwhelming. How about a write up of what its like?

Lots of Se7en activity in and around Ottawa

Should we try and set up a forum at LOG about building or titling cars? There aren't many other places where so many Se7en people get together.

That's the spirit that makes the extended Lotus community so wonderful.

There should be at least two Lotus VI at LOG 30. Both Kyle's with a 1172 flat head Ford from PA and Pat's powered by an early MG engine from FL. Both were at LOG in CO. I think Pat's car is the aluminum and red car in the pictures. Pat did some demonstration Laps at LOG 29 at the Barber Motorsport Park. Both are great guys with a great depth of knowledge about the history of Lotus, the cars and racing. They have helped me in my search for cars & parts.

The car looks vaguely familiar to me. Was it at one of the LOGs in WI, NY or Canada?

What? Is the giant Ford sticker a disguise?

There are a group of Denver CO area people that are going to drive to LOG. There is at least one Lotus Seven and a Elan in the group. I think they are all part of the LOCO club. You could hook up with them. The date for LOG was chosen, by the locals in part for the weather. The apple harvest festival is the week prior to LOG.

There is a Gato class sub in Manitowoc Wisconsin. It looks roomy inside until you think about all the people and stuff it held when it went to sea. Even the modern boats are quite tight.

The horror of additional weight! You might as well drive an Cadillac Escalade!
