Very nice event. Met some folks from on here. Awesome cars for sure. Impressed at how many local folks showed up. As mentioned above there was a boatload of Exige, Elise, and Esprit’s. Absolutely mint 120 Jag, pristine Countach, a bunch of slick Porsches, including a 356. A and also a few Ferrari’s. Matt W. Posted a number of raw pics over on DITB. Edited work will be up later. This dealer is something Buffalo has needed for awhile. Hopefully the trend continues. Good luck to Matt. ---

Only taking a 1 year break: > “We would like to comment upon the rumours that are circulating on social media and online, Lotus is committed to the North American market and will indeed produce a 2016 Model Year Evora that will be fully U.S. compliant. We will not be producing a 2015 model year Evora, therefore, there will be limited availability of 2014 model year cars over the next few months.” ---
