Crystal Cove meet 1/28/06

[Bibs]

Superb pictures guys, looks like a great day out

Not sure about 7am though, why don't you all do it in the afternoon and have a lie in?

[slade]

Yeah... my Friday evening activities sometimes preclude me from wanting to get up so early, but it's worth it.

You don't know how bad traffic gets later in the afternoon

People always seem to think I'm middle eastern, but "funny looking mexican" is something I've been called to my face twice

Yeah i agree. Traffic in SoCal in the afternoon is pretty irritating. I think that this early in the morning is the only way to get all those rare and expensive cars together. Who would want to be stuck in stop-and-go on the 91 freeway in an F40. Not my idea of a good time. I would like to go out more often but cant sacrifice all my Friday night since between work and grad school, they have become quite necessary.

Of course, I will be more than willing to give up my Fri night to meet up with some fellow Lotus conisours ( i think thats spelled wrong) the next morning...

Count me in for the next one whether my Lotus is capable of the trip or not. I'd be happy to go along as a spectator as it looks like an incredible event. Well worth getting up early for. (I'm old and don't do anything on a Friday night.)

Having said that, I can't make the first Saturday in March.

Great pictures and both Slade's and Shah's cars will put mine to shame. I like to class it as "original" with a nice "patina." Easier and cheaper than a respray and re-trim.

Trev, what you don't understand is that my Esprit just photographs well for some reason. Apparently even to the point of repelling dirt from photographs taken of it My car is a truly a 10 footer, just like something else on my person

Anyways, hmm... I'm up for almost any time, but how does February 11th sound to everyone? I might even get up early so I can have a chance at getting past the bouncer We need more esprit recommendation in the show area, rather than having us just look like outcasts in the parking lot.

Slade, your car looks much better than you make it out to be. We should definately head out there as soon as everyone can make it. The only weekend that Im booked on is feb 17-19 (going to vegas! ). We can even push it to the second weekend in March if that the soonest Trevor can make it.

Trevor, you should definately try to bring your car out, it would be nice to have another S2 tag along (especially the good ol' JPS! ). If you dont think it can make it, let me know. I have an open passenger seat and could use the company on the drive down...

..... what about you SoCal Stevens guys. Maybe we can try to get the Club Lotus LA and the South Coast Club involved... Anyone wanna plan something? We should meet down the street somewhere so we can all park together. Just gotta get to the lot by 6:30!!

All this now probably warrants a new thread.

Agreed it would be very nice if Trev thinks his car will be roadworthy soon we ought to wait a bit longer for that.

If not I can clear all the dead hookers out of my trunk and make room for Trev

I have to ride in the trunk?

I expect to get my registratin tags next week and then I would like to run the car a bit to check out it's reliability before setting off on a 120 mile trip down the Los Angeles freeways. So the second week in March sounds perfect. Nearer the date, I will know if I wil be Lotus bound or in Slade's trunk.
