Evora visit at Lotus Minneapolis - Jan 11-13, 2010
http://www.lotustalk.com/forums/f112/evora-visit-lotus-minneapolis-jan-11-13-2010-a-80938/
Wed, 18 Nov 2009 03:36:35 GMTThe new Lotus Evora will be launched in the USA next Spring. Lotus Evora gets a U.S. pricetag, starts at $73,200 — Autoblog
In preparation, two Evoras departed LCU on Friday, Nov 13th on a 44 city tour of USA Lotus dealers. One will be arriving here at the Minneapolis Lotus Dealer on January 11-13, 2010 (Mon-Wed). Detailed plans for those three days are a bit sketchie at the moment, but in broad strokes...
The Evora will be in the dealership showroom during business hours each day. Then from 5:00-8:00 PM, it's scheduled for private showings. On Mon-Tue, it will be off-site during that time slot. If you have a serious interest in the Evora, call the dealership for a time and location.
Leo Starr - (763) 222-2235 direct, or leo@leostarr.com
Reception - (763) 222-2200
The Evora will remain at the dealership on the evening of Wed, Jan 13th for a potluck dinner/ party with the Lotus Owners Oftha North (LOON) from 5:00-8:00 PM. That's our chance to spend some time with the car, and to party in general. If you're not a LOON and subscriber to the loon-mn mailing list, but would like to attend the party, contact me offline at TSEngel@comcast.net, and I'll keep you in the loop.
Jan, 2010 dates:
04 - 05 -- Chicago, IL, Fox Valley Motorcars
06 - 09 -- Lake Bluff, IL, Lake Forest Sportscars, Ltd.
11 - 13 -- Minneapolis, MN, Lotus Minneapolis (Jaguar/ Land Rover)
14 - 16 -- St. Louis, MO, Lotus St. Louis
The dealership has expressed interest in having nice, presentable examples of vintage Lotus on the showroom floor while the Evora is there. Sort of a rolling representation of the Evora's heritage. The time-frame is mid-January, salt-season, and most owner's cars will be tucked away in Winter storage; but if anyone is interested in putting their vintage Lotus on display, please contact me offline at TSEngel@comcast.net.
I'll post more details as they become available.
Regards,
Tim Engel
Lotus Owners Oftha North (LOON)

Tue, 17 Nov 2009 05:07:19 GMTPicked it up a few weeks ago. (Thanks Bob) Finally managed to have a weekend free with enough time for my wife to get some shots of it. I was gone the weekend of the last event but am looking forward to attending some in the future. Hope there is another nice weekend coming up. There’s a chance…right? :shrug:

http://www.lotustalk.com/forums/f112/minneapolis-mn-cars-cafe-saturday-november-7th-8am-11am-80553/
Fri, 06 Nov 2009 05:09:06 GMTCars & Cafe is on for November 7th. The weather is supposed to be good and there's been enough rain since the last salt went down to clean the roads.
I'll be at the Chanhassan Perkins for breakfast at 7:00 AM. Join me, or show up at 7:50 AM and we'll drive over as a group. There will be Lotus, DeLorean and MR2 Mk-I owners, plus some strays. See you there.
Take Hwy 5 west through Chanhassen. Stay in the two right lanes initially to avoid getting sucked off onto the left-exit for Hwy 312 to Chaska. At the west edge of Chanhassen, there's a traffic light on Powers Blvd/ County Rd 17... there's a Target and a Perkins (look for the big flag) on the northeast corner.
To Perkins Family Restaurant:
951 W 78th St, Chanhassen MN, (952) 474-9460 Yahoo! Maps, Driving Directions, and Traffic YahooMap
Turn right (north) on Powers Blvd and go a very short block to the first traffic light. Turn right at the light, and immediately look for another right to the Perkins.
To Cars & Coffee at the Auto Motorplex
8200 Audubon Road, Chanhassen, MN AutoMotorPlex - MPLS website Yahoo! Maps, Driving Directions, and Traffic Yahoo Map
From the traffic light at Powers Blvd, continue west approx 5/8 mile to the next traffic light/ left turn lane at Audubon Road.
Turn south (left) on Audubon Rd about 1/2 mile to 8200... the entrance is on your right (west). The MotorPlex is set back off the road a little ways, but you'll see the cluster of green-roof buildings down the hill.

Tim Engel
