Welcome. Just forgedabout driving it in the winter if chance of flurry. Ton of local events, I miss a chicago event every week, but you have to check about 10 different sites to find them all. Almost no organization. Try lotustalk/midwest, lotus corps, salt creek sports car association (west burbs where Im at), minicooper site sponsers british car night usually on saturdays, various sites for autox, track events (FVMC in mid september), and car shows. When you get your car and decide the radio/speakers sucks, send Chuck Risen an email. He is the sound go to guy for the Lotus and he is here in chicago. He is on lotustalk as Chuck_Risen i think, and sells the best subwoofer option for our cars and also paints various internals. FVMC is the local dealership. Say high when you are there, Im only a few blocks away.
