Ehh......they still call Soda "POP" in Ohio. So, it's not out east.
and sneekers "tennis shoes"
and Catty Corner "kitty corner"

Move a little farther west.

Twenty of us here in the Chicago area met Randy Chase for dinner just a few weeks back. And we've had get togethers and drives that look something like this:

I'm tellin' ya, I'm down for a swift drive down the backroads whenever you guys are. I cannot afford a 111 yet so I put some time into my Miata. I think it runs pretty decent. Unibody and suspension are tightened up. Light wheels/sticky tires, and the weight is getting better as I remove more and more of the useless stuff.

Give me shout, 816.695.8852, later, Matt.

Hey everybody! Let's all call Matt and shout at him.

No, but you may want to edit your post by removing the phone number and suggest that people send you a PM.

Every other forum ive participated on considers Ohio the Mid-west.

Were pretty diverse.

Cincinnati people are more mid-west.

As Cleveland Is more Donkey filled and North east considered. And of course they like the color of PooP. Reference the cleveland browns.

Will do. You may want to consider this event. Lots of Lotuses and a really fun day! Great day even if you just show up to be social.

I see more Lotus when I am traveling then I do here in NE Ohio. It is sad... BGwilly, we should plan a spring get together. Some kind of central point for Cleveland, Pitt and Cincy owners.

If you're willing to expand your Lotus thinking beyond the Elige/Exise, get in touch with the Cleveland chapter of Lotus Ltd.
