LOG gallery

Just got back from LOG. Was a great time. I borrowed an Exige and drove there. What a blast.

Each year Lotus owners gather in a different city to swap stories and compete in a series of events. Indianapolis was the host city this year and rather than fly in to town to observe all the fun, MLE approached Lotus for a press car so we could get involved. Lotus kindly obliged. We picked up a moonstone silver Exige S 240 in Detroit and traveled to Buffalo to meet up with the LOONYs – the Lotus Owners Of New York.

Be sure to pick up the Nov/Dec issue of MLE for our extensive coverage of the event, including our convoy to Indianapolis as well as pictures and info on all the rare and modified vehicles at the concours – which took place at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

We’ll also have more information on the 380 hp Hypersport Lotus Elise race car, which is set to take on the big boys in the SPEED World Challenge GT Series. Plus, find out what a certain Indiana State Trooper thought of the speedy Exige.

Scenes from the autocross.

That's Patricko, SweetDaddyD and RichS in the second picture. I met a lot more LotusTalk folks including Kestrel, CharlieX, Shinoo, Mazman and others. Next year we'll make an effort get us all together.
