  1. In the 4th picture it looks like one guy is telling the other. Stop... don't pee on the Ferrari.
  2. Concurrent with LOG 30 will be Fall Carlisle Collector Car Swap Meet & Corral Sep 29 - Oct 3, 2010 http://www.carsatcarlisle.com/ce/events/fall-carlisle/ There has been some talk among some folks about going on Thursday or Friday. Mapquest gives the time as about 1.5 hours between the venues. A local guy told me it was more like 45 minutes to an hour. Look at the video, around 2:16 there is a guy wearing a Lotus shirt. Does anyone recognize him?
  3. I would like to see "truck" headlights on a Se7en. I bet they would produce a classic yet clean look.
  4. One race at Rockingham through WERA on a 1982 Yamaha 350RD LC. I figured that I was too slow a learner (behind the curve of skill vs. speed) and would get myself seriously hurt. The street seemed too slow after my track time.
  5. You have as much surface area in the mirrors as in the windscreens. Are you planning on being passed much?
  6. Some good suggestions. Thanks. I don't think that I would like either the Mutter or the Body World 2 exhibit. My wife likes impressionist art. We saw a lot of it during 1 week in Paris in 2008. I had to drag her away from the impressionist stuff to get to the medieval museum (the Moyen; I wanted to see the pilgrimage trinkets related to Santiago de Compestela). I think the Barnes Museum will move up the must see list right after the Liberty Bell, Independence Hall and the National Constitution Center. I didn't remember the battleship. It is sad to say we haven't toured the battleship in Norfolk even though we sailed by it a couple of times. The trouble I always try to squeeze 10lbs. in a 5lbs. bag on every trip. There is too much to see!
  7. I don't know anything about a catalog. I will have to check. I don't even know the time of the exhibitors reception, something that is of some concern to me and great concern to my wife. I will post photos of the exhibition and the reception. We have never been to Philadelphia. Between putting in OT at work so I can make it a long weekend I have been putting together a list of things to see in Philadelphia. So far the short list is: Liberty Bell Independence Hall National Constitution Center Philadelphia Museum of Art University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology Independence Seaport Museum Melrose Diner White Dog Café Jim’s Steaks Amada tapas bar Which is too much to do in only a couple of days. Can any locals help us out with recommendations?
  8. I don't want to brag but I so badly want to... Our Seven will be on display at the Best of Britain at the Simeone Foundation Automotive Museum February 20th through March 14 in Philadelphia PA Over 30 significant British racing and sports cars will be on display at the Simeone Museum from February 20th through March 14th. The show will include many rare and unusual cars from England, including an HRG, a Nash Healey, an Elva Courier, and a Ginetta G4. http://www.simeonefoundation.org/
  9. About 2 years ago friend of mine (chemical oceanographer) visited the arctic aboard a USCG research ship. He was shocked about how little ice there was compared to his last visit of about 20 years before. Yes only two data points. Something appears to be happening. The cause is hidden, the result is well known.
  10. You look much cooler in the driving picture than your avatar!
  11. Nothing like starting off with an adventure. Thanks for the post.
  12. Cool!
  13. Very nice. The track seems a bit scary in places but great scenery. Nice clean passes.
  14. It looks like we will be in attendance. That weekend is shaping up to be very busy for us with 3 events within the same area. I think I will call it a late Valentines day get away weekend. - Yes dear we can have a weekend away by ourselves... we just have to stop in at the Simeone Foundation Automotive Museum, LOG 30 Planning Meeting and the PALS party.
  15. Is a 1996 Westfield SPa worth a measly $18,995 http://jalopnik.com/5464513/add-lightness-to-your-driveway-for-18995 Vote early and often
  16. See it for yourself. Kyle is hosting the PALS planning meeting/party later this month. http://www.lotustalk.com/forums/f110/pals-event-winter-planning-meeting-feb-21-a-83079/
  17. No no, it would look best in my garage!

    Roll on summer

    LOG 30 - October in Gettysburg PA. 4,168 km hardly more than weekend jaunt. http://www.lotuscarclub.org/log30.php
  19. I don't know anything about the car. I found the picture on a site that shows some of the cars that were at the Car except that it was at the 2009 Carlisle Import & Kit Nationals.
  20. Seems like a good car at a wonderful price. Congratulation!
  21. I found this at http://www.bangshift.com/assets/galleries/2567/hershey_aaca_swap_meet_2009_006_.jpg
  22. Nice time, good food and drink. Nice decorations until the florist came and took the rental plants away (I always thought the idea of rental plants was funny since I first saw the concept in action at college.). The Evora is a nice car. It rode and seemed to handle well and had good power. It must be a robust car given all the ham fisted drivers that have given it a go. My wife wants one. Now she only has to bring home that big lotto hit.
  23. No. But once I find that it gets me to a location it is very dependable getting me back.
  24. Hope to see some of you all at the Evora open house on Wednesday. It appears that there will be a good turnout.
  25. 9 round auxiliary gauges, blinking lights, 2 digital displays... Who has time to drive with all those gauges to monitor?
