Another Club 111 Gathering (in Valley Forge Penn.)

5 Elise, 1 Esprit and 1 Europa with some good beer and discussion made for a great evening. Thanks to everyone who attended.

An interesting shot showing Surferjer's Bordeux, STans SY and Gary's Europa. Note the family traits shared by the Europa and the Elise from the turn indicators and headlamp relationships to the air intakes. Also note Stan's son who was also present and had to put up with the rest of us babble about Lotus stuff for nearly 4 hours. Sorry Bud.

It was a great time, and nice to meet everyone in person. It was especially cool to have the Europa and the Esprit there. Great people, great times. THanks all!

I can promise you that no drivers left impaired. Besides the fact I like them and wouldn't want to see anything happen to them, I couldn't bear the thought that something terrible would happen to their Elise .

Honestly, everyone was responsible and we all had a great time. Next Pa/nj/ny area event for the region will likely be a drive and or our meet in Feburary with Lotus Reps @ The Ship Inn in Milford, NJ.

To follow up on what Robert said above and something Stan mentioned Saturday night, look at these two cars (separated at birth):

Some car PICs in the dark w/flash... It was nice seeing everyone and the restaurant was a nice place to enjoy a beer with everyone. (These are some Nikon D70 shots....Robert found my camera bag on the ground and was wondering whose it was..)

Stan's and Gary's rides...



Wallabyguy's laser blue...



And another...something like 12-15 samples of this color will be made and that's it!




Sureferjer's, Stan's, Gary's Loti...
