southwind25 Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 (edited) Ell'o gents and ladies.. September 19th.. We will be hosting the "Spill The Wine" winery tour for the Clevaland area Lotus limited, local lotus club. The tour will include 3 wineries in northeast ohio, a fun drive thru some great scenery including a few twisty bits and a fjord (thats water over the bridge). A route questionair will keep everyone busy along the way. The day will end at our humble location with a bonfire and sacrifice a few hot dogs, weather permitting. Although the tour will go on rain or shine..i have enough carnuba on the se7en it shouldnt matter! exact details will be comming in a couple weeks.

southwind25 Posted August 26, 2009 Author Posted August 26, 2009 Further info on the Spill The Wine Tour: We will be starting at the walgreen's parking lot at rt 21/brecksville rd and rockside rd. 10:00 sharp departure. coffee and budget se7en breakfast will be supplied (thats a few pots of homebrewed coffee and donuts/danishes/bagles in the parking lot)
Mike Rohaley Posted September 2, 2009 Posted September 2, 2009 We will be there. Any other se7ens interested? It would be fun to get a large caravan of them together for a day of driving.
glenntwincam Posted September 2, 2009 Posted September 2, 2009 we're planning on it, depends on how we and the car survive watkins glen !!
Mike Rohaley Posted September 2, 2009 Posted September 2, 2009 Either way, you should both come along. If all goes well you can celebrate with a drink and if it doesn't a drink would also be appropriate to drown the tears.
southwind25 Posted September 3, 2009 Author Posted September 3, 2009 (edited) Great to see Mike and Jen, and Glenn (i dont think we have met?) comming along! this sounds great! We also have the local lous dealership invloved now. We have found some nice scenic and twisty roads through the cleveland akron metropark system. (well, twisty for cleveland akron anyways) We will also have a couple unique photo opportunities along the way. A Fun day planned of enjoying our cars and camaraderie.

gjslutz Posted September 3, 2009 Posted September 3, 2009 If I'm in the area and no rain, I will be there. Gary

Mike Rohaley Posted September 4, 2009 Posted September 4, 2009 Yes, I have one. I will bring it down and we can film whatever you would like Mr. Frankenheimer.
gjslutz Posted September 10, 2009 Posted September 10, 2009 Robert, I will be unable as we have some guests that will not be departing till Sunday.
southwind25 Posted September 11, 2009 Author Posted September 11, 2009 Gary, we appreciate you letting us know, perhaps you can make it next time! We all have some nice days left, the season is far from over..
gjslutz Posted September 11, 2009 Posted September 11, 2009 Robert, I sure didn't want to miss this. The offer is still open on weighing the car.
gjslutz Posted September 18, 2009 Posted September 18, 2009 Robert, The scheduled visit changed, I'm trying to change some things now to make the tour. Gary
southwind25 Posted September 18, 2009 Author Posted September 18, 2009 (edited) Gary that would be great! Please invite the fellow with the wine color europa? (i apologize i forgot his name) as a note we will be meeting at around 10:00, but not leaving till afterwards probably about 10:30, so theres no rush. So that makes mike/ jen in thier caterham, Glenntwincam from here on the list, the lotus dealership is bringing an elise, a new lotus club member in his exige (steve i think), Kurt von, (i think he has/had a europa), paul/michelle (not sure the vehicle yet) and their friend, and hopefully others from the local lotus club. I have encouraged mike/jen to hook up the roll bar video camera, and Trina will be taking pictures along the route. The weather looks clear with temps reaching the 70's.

glenntwincam Posted September 19, 2009 Posted September 19, 2009 (edited) just returned from spill the wine tour.. thanks to bob,mary and trina for a great event!! Edited September 20, 2009 by glenntwincam
Mike Rohaley Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 Thanks guys, we had a great time. You all did a great job planning and it was fun to see our own pro-photographers along the route too. Our anniversary dinner turned out nicely but hot dogs on the grill with everyone back at your place would have been great too (next time I guess). By the way; I reviewed the video and with some still photos I can compile a little video of the day. Next time I will need to get more video of various angles and subjects to make a more in-depth presentation (oh well, live and learn).
southwind25 Posted September 22, 2009 Author Posted September 22, 2009 And thank you for all those that attended.. if it wasnt for you,,,it would just be us having all the fun! it's the participants that make the event what it is! how about a few pictures for you...
GKANSA Posted November 16, 2009 Posted November 16, 2009 Wish i was home for that sounded like fun!!! Wait till i get my own 7!!
