What other Elise Talk member would you like to spend time with or talk to?

What other Elise Talk member would you like to spend time with or talk to, and about what?

I'll start...

I'd like to talk with Andy Keck about Jim Clark and the glory days of Lotus.

Andy really knows alot about the subject and seems like a fascinating guy.

Before this thread gets inundated with posts all requesting personal time with me, I should point out that my times isn't cheap.

That is all.

DragonRider1: Coincidentally, we both own Ardent Red Elises, green Jeep Wranglers, Yamaha XT225 dual sport motorcycles, and similar red Honda sport bikes. Major coincidence!

And Steve (Transio), when he gets his Gallardo.

RacyTracy
She has a great sense of humor, and raced open wheel cars which is my current hobby.
I vow to buy the next used blue tarp for sale here on ET before Tracy does!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Transio, as long as there is a protective wall between us.

zOOmz, just to meet the legend.

RegGuy, just to see if he really is a regular guy.

Moto44, to see if a one-legged Jessica Simpson look-a-like really is his girlfriend.

Dito. But I have a feeling I'll just end up smiling and nodding my head to hide the fact that 90% of what he said just went over my head.

But I will thank him because before I moved to LA, he generously offerred to let me keep my Elise at his place since parking was an issue for me at the time. My cam switch point may have been myteriously lowered when I got my car back.

I have met zOOmz and she is highly overrated.

I would like to meet a lot of people here. If I list them though and I miss some, I would be in the dog house. So I would like to meet all the people that talk with me here regularly.

But I would really like to meet Transio...

macfly (I'm simply blown away by his photographs)
raygr (I'm amazed at what this guy has accomplished, and it shows by the collection he's got)
eyecandy (truly a voice of experience, and IMO has dispensed some great advice)
Rachel (her racing and industry experience alone should be interesting enough )

almost forgot, last but not least:

babak
Randy Chase
the Chicago crew (other than kartvader, IrishFan04, goelise, and dpm as I've met all of them already )
the Atlanta crew (I've got family in ATL so perhaps I can one day be persuaded to trailer my car down there to join them for a meet or something)

Thanks, but I know very little. I just have (or had) a good memory and I have listened to the guys at Lotus. And sometimes I am allowed to repeat things.

You should instead want to meet me because I have freakishly long eyelashes.
