I was at last years show and auto-x, and had a great time. There was 8 or 9 Sevens there, three of "THE REAL THING" early Lotus Sevens made it. Hunderds of great cars and bikes.

 

Can't say for sure, but I'll try to attend, Dave W

Anyone going?

I was out there for a little while today. The STM-7 looked really good. I didn't see many of the runs, but it looked really quick too. I stopped by a couple times, but didn't see you by the car. I did talk to Dave Watkins for a while though. I'm a little disappointed, it sounds like there were a lot more Sevens last year.

Shoot, I wish I could have meet you. I would have given you a ride along on the auto-X. I did not spend much time by my car at all, I was to busy looking at all the awesome cars.

 

Top cars:

*Jaguar XKSS

*Aston Martin Vanquish

*Miata V8

*Gibbs Aquada

 

 

By the way, my head is ready to explode!!! I got FTD!!! I did not feel smooth at all.

 

Also a big congratulations to Dave and the DAX RUSH for winning the show class.

Congratulations on the FTD! Also congrats to Dave for winning the show class! Every time I drive to Ann Arbor I nearly cause an accident trying to see if he's got the DAX out.

 

It was a really great show. I spent half of the time telling my girlfriend about every one of the cars that my Dad used to own whenever we'd see one. Part of the time was also spent convincing her that a Seven is cooler than an Elise and that I won't die as soon as I buy one. That might be an uphill battle, but for her sake I can't replace her with a Seven until work slows down a little and the odds of still having a job in 6 months improves a little.
