Tony only looks at Caterhams - he's snobbish! :p:jester:

 

Hey, I resemble that remark :)

 

Leave us not forget that it was me at LOG 19 in 1999 who invited the Birkin folk from South Africa and put their cars on display in front of the hotel, much to the displeasure of my fellow Lotus 7 owners. Got a lot of remarks about that move.

 

I may have even lost bringing in Graham Nearn because of it. I had asked the then Caterham Distributor in Atlanta, Frank (forgot his last name) to invite Graham as a speaker. We had already invited a Lotus guy in as the main speaker (cannot remember who). Frank got back to me and said that Graham would not come over if he was not the MAIN speaker and he knew about the Birkins being invited. He gave me every impression that it was Graham's decision.

 

Later on in 2000 or so, I met Graham Nearn and we had a nice long talk. Nice guy. I asked him about LOG and if he knew he had been invited to LOG in 1999. He said he had no idea and would have loved to come over.

 

That is one of my disappointments, Graham has now passed, he was really a nice man and I would have loved to have heard more of his stories. If he was still alive, I would have invited him for LOG 33 this year.

 

Oh. I am looking for a non SV car. Standard long cockpit didion S3 car.
