10 million dollars cars

You know, I've been trying to hit car shows too. I enjoy promoting the 7 philosophy, and introducing people to the car. Frankly I'd like more people to get hooked and buy one. A ride in a friend's 7 is what infected me with the Lotus bug. It took a few encounters with his car before I couldnt think of anything else. So I enjoy being an ambassador so-to-speak.

 

We had a big show (1065 cars) a week ago and I had the only Lotus there. After your 200th perfect 68/69 Camaro and 200th perfect Mustang, you tend to start looking for something unique. So people gravitate to the oldies, the strange, and stuff with wild paint.

 

I have a trick for shows to get a crowd. I put a hand written note on the windshield (black sharpie) that mentions it was made in South Africa, that it weighs 1250lbs, and engine details etc. Then I put my driving shoes on the seat and mention the tiny pedals. People always lean down and look, pop up and pinch their fingers together to tell their friend what they just saw. I mention the wind, gravel, and what it feels like to drive (4 wheeled motorcycle). I try to get their imagination going. I think next year I may bring a laptop and run videos of other sevens that I find on Youtube.

Car shows are a blast just because you get to chitchat with other car nuts. Most are even crazier than I am. :o)

Geez....you are worse than Hank at a Hooters Bar! :drool:

 

When I managed to drag my eyeballs away from Miss Connecticut (no way I was missing her!) I discovered your car looks great. I like the color combination of burgundy and carbon - nice one.

 

Where in CT are you located? I would not mind joining an event like that if it was in the south eastern corner of CT?
