Let's represent Lotus at SF Bay Area weekly meets - Page 28 - LotusTalk

doma · 04-09-2008, 06:24 PM

I reccommended this event to a couple of track adict coworkers as a relaxed sat morning way to see some interesting cars. Apparently on the day they went several lambo guys were reving their engines obnoxiously and nobody wanted to go on a drive afterwards. Now i'm labled as being part of the 'poser' crowed.

But oh well... I haven't been down in a long time. I'll try and make it this saturday.

Kevin, a dirty Lotus? What, have you been hanging out with Claus???? HA!

I'd love to make it out there but I have kid events in the A.M. I have to attend. Hopefully make it out soon for a nice drive afterwards. Larry, keep me posted on when you want to go on a drive after the SR event. Claus, are you carrying back any nice Lotus bits from Japan?

JLSELISE · 04-09-2008, 06:55 PM

Just a little pre-announcement here so you can mark your calendars.
The May "meeting" of the GGLC will be held Saturday, May 17, and it will feature a late morning drive from SR through some of the East Bay hills. The drive will end with a BBQ at a member's home in Danville. There will also be a photo opportunity and sampling stop at a local winery during the drive

It seems like it's been ages since I went to a Santana meet but this saturday I'm going to try to stop by (probably with a coworker and his 911, hopefully the Lambo guys won't rev their engines to make me look like a member of the poser crowd

j/k).

Should I? The exchange rate sucks... Looks like I have some time to go shopping on Saturday before my flight leaves.

Car is still not washed - I am on a record-setting attempt HAHA. Last time I went to SR a couple of people said something like "is yours the one that is OBVIOUSLY used daily?"

Tintin · 04-10-2008, 08:06 AM

Unfortunately I can't make it this weekend to hang out with all you posers

I'll be busy until the end of May, but maybe in June we can persuade Larry to arrange a drive

LarryB · 04-10-2008, 09:33 AM

Have been thinking of doing more of a drive then a meet. Over Mt Hamilton and into Livermore. Most of May is already taken. May 3-4th looks pretty good. Since Titin made the suggestion, June 14-15 also works. On my own would head out around 7:30. As a group drive meeting at SR, say at 9 am and on the road by 9:30. Let me know if there is much interest and I'll start a new thread.

For the fall, might repeat this and see if John from Forcedfed could host us in Livermore... or June is out far enough could give it a shot then.

def · 04-10-2008, 10:09 AM

JLSELISE just said there was an east bay drive on may 17 after SR, so that works

LarryB · 04-10-2008, 10:19 AM

I'll be out of town for the May 17th meet/drive. Mid June is far enough apart, I'll check into setting one up then.

AgentTripleX · 04-11-2008, 09:08 AM

For those of you driving from San Francisco, I have a few TeamSpeed members meeting at my place at 8:30 am tomorrow. We plan to drive to SR, hang out a bit, and then do a nice drive. I think through the Santa Cruz Mtns. Please email me if you would like to drive down together. sorinne@yahoo.com .

Hand_Banana · 04-11-2008, 10:21 AM

What will the Teamspeed guys be driving? Loti too?

Hey Sorrine sorry I haven't been able to get back to you, but I'll be by soon to take a look at the new SC's since my elise is going back to the body shop soon (long story). Really liking the pics of the pearl white though. I'll let you know.

+1 for the meet and drive through santa cruz mts.

A couple M3s, my Elise, a Cayanne GTS, a 911, and something else (new guy I don't know yet). There is also an Exige in town from SoCal that may join us.

Looking forward to your story. Hope you're okay. See you tomorrow.

kohete · 04-11-2008, 11:22 PM

I'll be there, with a couple of buds (911, viper - but not everyone can be perfect

doma · 04-12-2008, 11:41 AM

14 Lotus! Nice turnout.

Whoa... anybody else see the accident? I left at 11am. Just outside of SR, on the winchester entrance ramp to 280 north ... a yellow porsche had wiped out and took out a steel lamp post. Driver looked fine; was out of the car and on the phone so I didn't stop... but I had to crunch over pieces of scattered 911 bits on the roadway. Lamp post was down and laying in the shoulder. I think this was the yellow porsche that left the SR meet around 10:50am about the time the SF lotus contingent left.

Anyway, good to see you all. Lots of interesting mods. Dark Blue Lotus: Love the purple caliphers.

def · 04-12-2008, 11:57 AM

Edit: Oops I can't read
Sucks - at least the driver was OK. Sometimes people really gun it out of there not thinking, showing off thier exhaust...

Didn't see it as we took off to Santa Cruz. Was a great drive and nice group. Got a text about it. Guess it was a yellow GT3. I actually didn't notice it at the meet.

Excellent Lotus turnout. Woohoo! I'll try to post pix after my visitor is gone next week.

Glad you like the calipers.

AgentTripleX · 04-13-2008, 10:43 AM

I was able to sneak in some uploading today.

swede · 04-13-2008, 10:52 AM

Nice pix spr vxn.

Rain and 37 here

Thanks

AgentTripleX · 04-15-2008, 09:27 PM

I found somebody else's album that took pix in Santa Cruz. There was a G35 meet, lol.

They're filming us pull in.

uclacyc · 04-16-2008, 12:28 AM
