Not sure if anyone would be interested, but I had lunch with an old Porsche Club buddy today and he told me about this event http://www.triumphclub.org/Gathering/show.htm He also used to own a coupld of Healey's and has attended the show several times. He says it's a great show and a lot of fun. |

Lotuschick seemed interested, especially since it is at a vinyard ;-)
Sounds like fun.

hmmm - 3 registered cars of one kind are required to establish a class. Does that mean we just need 3 Lotus, or do we need to have 3 Elige and 3 Esprit?
*edit*
according to the registration form, it's only 3 of any make.

I have never been to this particular event, but there used to be a British Car Days event in Winston. One thing I can say about British Car owners, there are a lot of them and they like to show their cars. The one I went to was very impressive.

What's the date on this? The link goes to a page with 2007 dates on it. I'd be interested if a couple of you guys are going. It's only 1 1/2 from the Boro according to the website, and if my hood doesn't open up I can make in less............

Good catch, I hadn't noticed that. I just dropped them an email to get updated information.

I need to get confirmation from the gf, but this sounds like fun. We will probably make a weekend out of it

OK, I've added this to the calendar. I propose we make this our 'official' April meet. Steve Ward, one of the organizers sounds thrilled about the prospect of having a Lotus class in the show. How many folks think they could make an appearance, even if just for the Saturday?

I'm think I'm up for this, although I guess it means cleaning my car  I'd only be able to do the Saturday though. Is it confirmed that we need at least 3 Lotus to show? With the showing on Sat, I wouldn't have thought that would be an issue. |

It's confirmed - we need three Lotus preregistered. I am thinking that Lisa and I will head up on the Friday and leave after the show on Saturday, so we would be able to convoy back towards Charlotte together. I am awaiting some of the updated registration forms and information, which I'll distribute ASAP.

I'm a solid maybe. It looks fun, but....I'm uneasy given that it's a month away and the website still has the 2007 dates on it.
