Anyone else bringing their Lotus to the Colorado English Motoring Conclave on Sunday, 14 September?

Aye, I'll be there. I'm expecting more Lotus cars there.

MightyMike · 09-13-2008, 03:45 PM

See you there!

It was cool meeting several of you. We had six Elises there, I wonder if that is a record.

7, but mine was in the parking lot

Had a great time as well. Don (Old81) at northamericanmotoring.com took quite a few photos. Here's the link:

What park is that?

Did you all happen to look at the Austin Healey 3000 with no body on it (Photo 98 in the web site above)? I got to talk with the gentleman who was building it. So far it is a work of art! Had 3 SU carbs on it, but they were hollowed out. He was running a "Hidden" fuel injection setup, run by a GM ECU, hidden on the bottom side of the intake. He was telling me about the problems he had getting the original Lucais distributor to work with the ECU so he machined a GM distributor to work. Did I mention that he was an artist?

The car had a 1 by 3 hidden channel running down the passenger foot well to hide the wiring from the engine compartment to behind the back seat where the ECU and the various electronics hidden. Hidden AC unit, MP3 player, aluminum fuel cell. If he completes the car with the same quality that he had so far, WOW!

Cool, two pictures of my car in there. #48 and #53 (the wheel). That wheel wasn't exactly clean anymore after driving down there through the rain......
