Croc Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 From DaveMorris on Blatchat here: http://www.blatchat.com/t.asp?id=202098 Spent some time in St. Charles (close to St. Louis) this weekend and cam upon a time trial course that had been set-up on a large parking lot. Various classes - usual US muscle cars + RX-7 with square-cut box, numerous Miatas/MX-5's, Honda 2000's, a couple of Scoobies etc. There were also 3 Elises that I saw. But no Sevens. Anyone know if there are there any owners in the St.L area (vested interest in finding out as I'm likely to be back here in May.) Dave M I have put a post on Blatchat referring Dave to here. Any St Louis owners keen to meet a UK seven enthusiast please post below. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
breezy7 Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Me and my Caterham are located in the cornfields of Illinois about 40 miles east of St. Louis. There are a couple of St. Louis area 7 owners on the forum as well. The St. Louis Lotus club has a drive scheduled for May 7 that usually has a 7 or two in attendance. http://www.stalls-club.webs.com/ Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locost7018 Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 Look on Locostusa.com. Cliff Flath, Mike Stieff, And Powerbrake are some that come to mind, Russ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bball7754 Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 I'm in University City, just across the St. Louis city line, and own a '98 Caterham. Let us know when you're coming back to St. Louis, and we can try and put some sort of gathering together. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
20Vx Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 Thanks to Mike for pointing me in this direction, and thanks for the replies so far. I'll not be in St.L on 7th unfortunately so won't be able to join the Lotus Club drive. Weekend of May 14/15th I should hopefully have some free time.

locost7018 Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 If you drive down I-44 and then south on Hiway65 a ways on June 9-12, you can come to the Midwest Se7ens Gathering in Harrison, Ar. Russ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderbrake Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 Dave M: I'm in the suburbs of St.louis, and have an Ultralite with a Honda S2000 engine & transmission. I won't be in town on the 15th but let us know your schedule. Our plant is in Weldon Springs which is near St.Charles (we make steel shooting targets) maybe we can make a connection.

20Vx Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 I'll try and make contact with at least one of you whilst I'm over in May. Possibly back in June also. If any of you need any Caterham items bringing in to "look at" (obviously for import purposes I'd have to take them back to the U.K. Mail me offline if you do. Dave.

20Vx Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 Update - comfirmed arrival in St.L 5/8/11, departing 5/20/11, hopefully have some free time over weekend of 14 and 15th, or possibly even one evening for a beer/chat. Staying at Doubletree in Chesterfield. Will bring some pictures of the 50th Anniv meet + recent trip to Kit Car Show in Stoneleigh (+ my cars of course :-) ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bball7754 Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 (edited) Dave - Like Jerry, I'm also out of town the weekend of the 14th-15th, so that weekend probably doesn't work for a Seven-esque gathering. Maybe something on the 10th, 11th, 17th or 18th? Think we need to get you out of Chesterfield so you can see other parts of St. Louis. If we leave it somewhat loose and weather dependent, Jerry, Mike (breezy7), and I could bring our Seven's - which is sort of the point, right? Can probably drag along a few ex-Seven owners. One has had 3, and is between Sevens. The other "traded' his SV for a '57 Lotus Eleven. Thoughts? You should have a personal message on your other topic.

breezy7 Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 I'll be out of town May 14-15 too, but should be able to make the other dates Steve suggested. Steve, do you have something in mind about a meeting place? Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve I am out of town the 15 thru the 18th, but I can make something on the 10th or 11th. or the 14th. I just put a new battery in the Seven, and I'm ready to go.

20Vx Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 O.K. - I'm here in town, on your time zone :-) Any of the nights are good for me. Your call. I'm staying at the Doubletree Hotel in Chesterfield (16625 Swingley Ridge Road) tel 636-532-5000 and working at Solutia HQ at 575 Maryville Centre Drive 63141 just off I-40 Exit 22/23 until about 17.30 or so each night. I'm in a conference room all day but the number is 674 3976 (and my mobile is +44771767882 ) if you need to make contact with me. Just let me know when and I'll make every effort to get to you guys (or you come to me and make life so much more simple for "the dumb Brit").

bball7754 Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 Dave - Welcome back! Think it will be tough to get things organized for tonight. If we try for tomorrow, Jerry can join us. I was thinking of the Tap Room downtown? Not as far for you, Mike. I'm open to other venue suggestions. Dave - I can run out to Chesterfield and pick you up. If this doesn't come together, we go for plan B - sometime next week. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
breezy7 Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 Sounds good Steve. The Tap Room on Locust? It is down the street from Pappy's Smokehouse so a good excuse to get some ribs. What time are you thinking about? I can make any time so set what works best for everyone else. I can adjust to something else if this does not work out, just let me know when and where.

20Vx Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 Anytime is fine for me - just give me a few hours notice. (Are you sure we won't all be under water this time tomorrow ?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bball7754 Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Haven't heard from Jerry. Charlie can't make it either week, and Chris F. can only make it next week. Mike - you up for this tomorrow, or should we try next week? I'm game for either - or maybe both. Dave - You're up the hill out there, so you should stay dry.

breezy7 Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 You make the call Steve, I can do tomorrow or next week or both too. The weather tomorrow isn't good for the 7 but not sure this wet pattern will clear next week either. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderbrake Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Steve, Mike, Dave: I had to change some plans , but I can make it on Wednesday evening. I understand it's the Tap Room, but what time? It's supposed to rain, so I won't be bringing the seven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
