I'm too far away, and have no front suspension at the moment :lol:

Sounds like a fun time! Enjoy :seeya:

[Carbuff]

Kinda far to back-up I guess. :grouphug: :jester:

I was just reading about Al N's adventures on April 21st. We live right near Performance Trailer, and to cap it off, our joint meet on the 21st with the DeLorean guys included a Drive that went within a half-mile of there! (Later in the day, though)

Hoping to see a few Lotus owners on the 5th in L.I.

[Boxologist]

i'm in.

[Al Navarro]

Got a wedding that day, sorry.

[Carbuff]

Jeff of MM/H Lotus called today (Friday) and said they have more than 35 cars registered. It's gonna be GREAT.



Unfortunately Lotus USA didn't come through with the Concept Car so we are going to have to Photoshop something ourselves, just to bust Lotus Car's you-know-whats. :cuss:


Anyway: come one, come all, there will be refreshments at the beginning, plus if you get there REAL early the dealership will wash your car for you.
:cool:

Looked like a lot more fun than looking at Trailers in North Jersey! :d

Did you school the Elise?

[Boxologist]

weather was much cooler this time. I've had luck with the weather so far! Hope the weddng was fun.:hurray: :cheers: I believe i have a few more pics to upload

hopefully Jeff (yellow Elise) will do this again next season and it will be tweaked a bit. The drive was a bit slowdue to the size of the caravan on the backroads. also we went to the winery right off the bat, and many had made the trip from NJ. great turn out from the Espirit owners. Everyone behaved well, no asshattery whatsoever. :shocked:

I definitely want to setup the NEPa blat. drive for an hour or so, have a nice meal drive some more.

I think I'm forbidden to do anything additional that's car-related until after 7-7-7.:cry:

But perhaps in Sept. we could do a semi-large USA7s NY/NJ/PA/MD/DEL/VA meet at my house...have some great routes mapped out already. I'm only about 10 minutes from that Clinton NJ exit where we met.

thats a shame on the house arrest:cry: i just recieved a route from Bear mtn(NY) to the hawks nest (NJ) 1 1/2 -2 hr drive. also have a good idea on roads just oustide of scranton that would bring us down to Pocono racetrack.

[yellowss7]

I would be up for the Pocono run. I have a place in the Pocono's about mid way between Scranton and Long Pond(Pocono Raceway). Seems the terrorist they just caught liked the area as they stayed in the same community that my place is! :surprised: :shocked: :shocked: :willy: :willy: We could stop there for lunch, dinner or other refreshments at the end of the day. :party:

[Al Navarro]

I'm up for the Pokenose too...not so far from my neck of NJ.

Jon-we should switch this over to the NNJ/NEPA/NY blat? thread..

[Boxologist]
