Chicago Area Drives and Get Togethers - Page 20 - LotusTalk

I'd like to remind everyone to gas up before you get to my place. We won't be near a gas station for about the first hour of our 2-2.5 hour drive. There are gas stations as you exit Interstate 90 at the Hampshire/Marengo exit.

Aim for arriving at my place about 9am. We'll leave once everyone arrives. If you're running late or decide you can't make it, be sure to give me a call.

See you all tomorrow morning!

Todd

I'm going to pass again Todd.....sorry. I just got in tonight and have a 2pm softball game. I need to sleep in.

Sanj · 11-08-2009, 12:49 PM

Many thanks to Todd for organizing this. I spanked the old girl like she needed, and had an absolute blast!

Moto44 · 11-08-2009, 01:48 PM

Sanj has organized so many Lotus events in the Chicago area, it was nice to be able to do something for him in return. And what a great day we had for it! I had a great time too and enjoyed seeing everybody again.

Todd,

Thanks for hosting today’s event; you did an outstanding job picking a route, what a blast.

I agree, it was nice to see Sanj sit back and enjoy the day instead of working his _ _ _ off for everyone else!

Great people, fast cars, warm day in November, what more could you ask for? Alright, some more warm days!

Thanks,

Mike

Moto44 · 11-08-2009, 07:46 PM

Glad you were able to join us today and enjoyed it, Mike! I've now worked out four good routes from my house. I don't mean to be selfish and always have everyone come to me to start our drives. The advantage is that I live just far enough outside the burbs to be surrounded by some very nice uncongested roads, by Illinois standards.

Hope you can join us for the other drives next year!

Todd

I'm jealous. And also sitting in an airport lounge in Frankfurt, which is why I couldn't make it. It's not out of the question that we could squeeze one more nice day in this year. One can only hope...

RacyTracy · 11-09-2009, 01:37 AM

I'm kicking myself for not going.....

RacyTracy · 11-10-2009, 05:00 PM

Was that mall in Tinley Park?

costlydakota · 11-10-2009, 05:55 PM

Thanks again for putting this together Todd. Especially liked the first half!! Great group of people that showed up. I have about 2 hours of video to go through and edit. It may take me some time, since it is the first time I am doing it.
