scannon Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Ross Robbins is a member of LOCO (Lotus Colorado) who is famous for his road trips in Lotus cars. He has just published a book titled Road Trip! and I can highly recommend it. His adventures include fashioning a fan belt out of a bungee cord in the middle of Nevada on US 50, well known as the Loneliest Road in America to keep his Lotus 7 running long enough to make it to the next town. The book is available at Amazon for $9.95. http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=Road+Trip!+Chasing+Blues+Skies+on+Roads+That+Go+Forever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kitcat Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 (edited) Bought it, read it, our kind of guy: total car nut. And fearless. Many of us met him at LOG 30, an event he discusses in his book. Given age, advancing senility, etc., I dont recall a whole lot about this event anymore. But this guy I remember. I was feeling pretty studley as I had driven my Caterham all the way from Cincy (top up, doors on, it was chilly). But nope, no trailer for me, I am too manly for that!(obviously, I have evolved-or regressed:)). Then we meet this guy and turns out he's driven his Lotus 7, sans top/doors from Denver. And is headed back with wife following him in the chase vehicle, an oginal Elan. He's got to be 5-15 years older than me, ditto the keeper-wife. Jeez, just under 5000 miles in an original 7 with all the built in reliabiliy they were so famous for and none of the improvements my Caterham had-no top, no nuttin, but attitude and optimism.

scannon Posted April 13, 2013 Author Share Posted April 13, 2013 Here's Ross in his other Seven. AFAIK he hasn't taken any of his Road Trips in this one. http://i43.tinypic.com/2llm61y.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
