…and all I can say is that it was prob. the best trip ever…
Without going into too many details…
-had a beer and hung with Clive Chapman for a bit (Colin’s son)
-drove a 400+ whp single turbo 4 Esprit, we got lost for hours in st. Louis, laughing our asses off the whole way
-drove an 02 V8 TT Esprit…simply awesome, torque up the ass…
-drove in a ~150 car Lotus group to the Concours, traffic and intersections were blocked for us at some points
-saw the unveiling of the Exige and what it’s going to be/look like (unreal car…)
-ate some great food, met some awesome Lotus owners, and met Clive Chapman, among many other awesome Lotus people…

Oh yeah, the supercharger is in the works and has been for about a year now. They’re having issues getting it federalized. They just aren’t promising it at the moment. But it’s in the works.
