I posted this on the MidAtlantic Board a while back, but realized we might be missing a few potential attendees. We're getting Lotus vehicles together, in an area next to the normal Fair Lakes Cars & Coffee. We are also inviting cars that Lotus Engineering has fettled - early ZR-1's, Teslas, Deloreans, Jensen-Healeys, Aston Martins, etc. If you have a question about what would qualify as 'Lotus-related', please email me.

Just over a week to go, and we're making good progress - over 20 Lotus confirmed, and I hope to have some confirmed 'cousin' cars before the event.


I will be at the Kohl's parking lot early, cordoning off the Lotus Family area, over by the street, facing Kohl's. Of course, there will still be plenty of parking in the lot always used at this weekly Cars & Coffee event, for the non-Lotus-related cars.

I have at least 5 'possible' Lotus attendees, in addition to the above list...

Please tell your friends! RSVP to me if you're coming, so I know what to plan for. For those interested, we will be going to brunch afterwards, to a nearby restaurant.


Lotus-related cars (those engineered by Lotus) are also welcome. We hope to have some early Corvette ZR-1's, a couple of Teslas, and at least 1 Aston DB9 in attendance. Other Lotus-related cars: Jensen Healey & Delorean.
