I have heard a lot of favorable words about the new Lotus of Austin from corporate. You guys will be a valuable asset to the community. Have a great grand opening!

 

[Chris Mackey]

Are you guys serving hot dogs and balloons for the kids?

 

[Charlie Lunsford]

Hot dogs, balloons, fire eaters and circus monkeys Chris! Are you gonna make it by?

Scott I would piss myself if you showed up dressed like that LOL!!!

Actually we have 9 restraunts catoring, media lots of high profile locals are suppose to come by. Business casual to Austin casual is ok dress.

Hi Charlie, looking forward to the grand opening and your finished Lotus showroom floor. :up:

Hey Charlie, this sounds like a lot of fun but I seem to have missed any info on the location of the new dealership. If I find it by 05/14 then I plan to be there.

 

[Charlie Lunsford]

The new Dealership, "John Eagle European", is located off of 183 and Mcniel. Its located on the north bound frontage lane just between Sail and Ski and Pavillion Lincoln. You have to turn into the drive just after the "Crestwood" sign. I will be calling as many people today as possible to get a rough head count of how many Lotus guys to expect.

Abe the showroom will be done by Monday, it's real nice! Looking forward to seeing everyone!

 

[Shine]

I plan on being there.

 

[mcoupe]

I will be there as well

 

[407Driver]

See you there.

 

[RichS]

Hi Charlie, looking forward to the grand opening and your finished Lotus showroom floor. :up:

Abe, you coming out?

(And if you do, please realize that 'Austin Chic' doesn't mean a suit and tie!)

Where are you located amigo and what's your story?

 

[dickedup]

Old School was starched buttondown, jeans, and boots!

What the heck is "Austin Chic"? Like this?

New School is crumbled t-shirt, unkempt hair, and 7-year-old sneaks.

See above for location ^^^^^

as far as my story... pretty much everyone here knows me, I came on with Lotus when Autostrata was bought out back in the day. I worked at the downtown location (Lamar) and migrated up north to the 183 location. Stayed on until owner decided to get out of retail and place his focus back on wholesale. When the current owner came along in Feb. 2009, the boys up at Lotus Corp. put a good word in for me and after spending the last 8 months in between Lotus jobs over at Audi I'm back on board. In the past I was one the top Lotus salesmen in the nation, and also ran the service department for a time up at the old 183 location

 

[...m...]

...i'll try to make a jaunt up there thursday afternoon - how early does the northbound traffic past downtown bog down these days?..

...it's been about three-and-half years since i moved down to san antonio, and i'm inevitably dumbfounded each time i visit by the some aspect of the rapid pace of change... (grumblegrumblebloodyunmarkedtollroads)
