I am hearing that the legendary Roger Becker is planning to be around the Lotus display on the first three public days.

LARRY · 10-19-2007, 08:27 AM

Roger Becker? The guy who helped design the Lotus Elise and bring it to America? Cool...

I'm going to the pre-show and to the main show. Wouldn't miss it!

November 16th! L.A. Convention Center...

When is it?

Randy Chase · 11-10-2007, 10:17 AM

Anyone else going? I will be heading up on Wednesday or Thursday and will post pics from the Lotus booth. I think the only thing new that will be there from Lotus is the 2-Eleven and I think the new 2008 Supercharged Elise.

khamai · 11-10-2007, 10:39 AM

And one "old" thing.... Arnie Johnson!!!

Cheers,
Kiyoshi

Randy Chase · 11-10-2007, 10:53 AM

Well, that too.

SKYVUE · 11-10-2007, 11:23 AM

I'll be going, maybe Friday. Hope to meet y'all!

It would be great to have a meeting at a time/date at the Lotus booth....

I'm pretty sure I'll go that weekend. Look for the Tesla Roadster at the Yokohama booth

I'll be at the Thursday night preview. It's the best way to see the show. You have access to all of the exotics and no crowds.

Stormy320 · 11-10-2007, 12:52 PM

What are the dates?

I look forward to seeing the Exige 240S.

Randy Chase · 11-10-2007, 01:35 PM

I might also be there at the Thursday night preview. Depends.

Dates are at www.laautoshow.com

Murix · 11-10-2007, 05:40 PM

I live less than a mile away so I feel obligated to go since I can walk there.

andrewgotanelise · 11-10-2007, 06:25 PM

I'll be going I really hope they have the new supercharged elise and exige240 there. Id like asking the guys questions about crank / whp numbers and why the chose the non intercooled route and the smaller sc and if the exige 240 is just a remap of the 07 exige s. I dont expect to get many answers though haha.

I would like to do this also, but isn't there a dress code for this day also? don't want to wear a shirt & tie and walk around. Usually 4 hours is not enough to see everything...for me at least.

No dress code. Last year, people wore everything from suits and ties to shorts and t-shirts.

SuperVixen · 11-11-2007, 08:11 PM

I'll be there Wednesday before Thanksgiving. Hope to meet more Elise Talk members then.

Ara! How long have you been in Southern California?
There is NO "dress code" in Southern California!

See you at the show! We can carpool and reduce the stress, parking, gas, etc...

lc_09 · 11-11-2007, 09:26 PM

I'll be there on Saturday about 1 or 2pm.

I'd love to go on thursday before the crowds, but I don't think i'll be getting out early anytime this week. Plus, going east on a weeknight from Santa Monica to downtown is torture.

Anybody else going on Saturday?

I probably won't go in my elise, i'm not too sure I can find some elies-friendly parking around there. Unless anyone knows some secret spot, they'd be willing to share.
