LOG 27 - Update!

[Lewtus]

Lotus owners, mark your calendars!

For those of you new to the Lotus world - LOG 27 is the 27th annual Lotus Owner’s Gathering presented by Lotus, Ltd. – “North America’s Largest Lotus Car Club”. LOG 27 will be held August 24-27, 2007 in Aspen Snowmass, Colorado. Lotus owners from around the world are already planning to gather at the Silvertree hotel for four days of the premier Lotus event, situated within the Snowmass ski slopes

The theme for this year’s event: “Celebrating the Spirit of Colin Chapman” recognizes the founder’s principles in the DNA that follows to this day in every Lotus, from the Mark I to the newest Elise and Exige models.

We expect this Lotus Owner’s Gathering to be another very exciting and memorable one. We plan on welcoming Mike Kimberley, CEO of Group Lotus as a special guest of Lotus, Ltd. We look forward to him bringing more exciting news about upcoming new cars from Lotus, including the much-anticipated new “Lotus Supercar,” the Esprit and more. LOG has proven to be a favorite location for Lotus to preview new models for the loyal owners.

In recognition of Lotus racing history, we anticipate reuniting Emerson Fittipaldi with his Lotus 72 JPS World Championship car and his mechanic Bob Dance along with current Classic Team Lotus head, Clive Chapman. We also will have a special message delivered to the LOG by Hazel Chapman in celebrating the 35th anniversary of that Championship season and a special performance of “Working All Nighter” as performed by the 1972 team mechanics. Additional special Lotus anniversary cars such as the Seven and Elite, which were introduced 50 years ago, the Elan and Elan plus Two, will also be celebrated along with more recent Lotus race champions like the 1992 World Challenge winning x180R.

TV personality (www.speedtv.com) Alain de Cadenet and guest speakers take the stage to give us a glimpse into the mind and character of Colin Chapman. While most known for his “Design by Victory” shows, Alain is an accomplished builder and driver of numerous cars and titles. You also may recognize him by his appearances on the Barrett-Jackson TV auctions.

Sunday’s activities feature an autocross, a local road rally and an evening banquet. Monday will be our exciting track experience at historic Woody Creek Raceway, a mere few miles from the hotel.


Come for the LOG and stay for the memorable family vacation at special LOG lodging rates from $95.00 per night. The special rates are good for as long as you want to stay before or after the LOG. We have lots of activities planned for family member that may not be as car crazy as we are, so they can be doing memorable things while we play with our Lotuses.

Plan on attending whether or not you are bringing your Lotus. Exotic Car Transport is able to provide a very attractive rate for those who want to have the fun at Aspen, without fighting the trip from home to the LOG. Estimated cost is $1,500USD with some size and location restrictions. You will regret not bringing your car, I can guarantee that. The Aspen airport is only 7 miles from the LOG hotel.

They really are fun and interesting.

You will see the whole range of Lotus and meet the people that make the cars. Not many car owners have that kind of access to the car makers.

To LOG27 attendees: I drove through the Aspen/Snowmass area this A.M. and got many many hits on the radar from local law enforcement mostly on K band in Aspen and Snowmass and then none at all traveling southwest from Carbondale for 2.5 hours.

Thanks for the heads-up! I just finished hardwiring my V1 so I'm all set.
