Overcast and cool this morning. The possibility of rain may have kept a few away, but we never saw a drop, and plenty of folks showed up.

Overcast today, but no rain in the morning. A decent turnout this holiday weekend.
Please Note: We are doing a special "Get Your Lotus Out" event, in conjunction with the regular Fair Lakes Cars & Coffee on Sunday, September 23rd. We are asking anyone with a Lotus to come out, and we are also inviting Lotus 'cousin' cars - vehicles that Lotus Engineering worked on. That includes old Corvette ZR-1's, Teslas, Nissan GTRs, and even Aston DB9's, since Lotus did significant work on all those cars. If you'd like to bring your Lotus or related vehicle, please RSVP to me, robert(underscore)collum(at)hotmail(dot)com. Please let your friends know.

Fair Lakes, 09/02/12 - Part 3
I was particularly taken with the color of the XKR convertible that showed up today. Sorry I didn't get a chance to talk to the owner...

A cool, clear morning. No surprise, then, that turnout was great.
I am having a Lotus event at this venue on Sunday, 09/23. We will cordon off an area for Lotus (and Lotus-engineered vehicles) on 9/23 at the Cars & Coffee event. If you know someone with a Lotus, (or an early ZR-1, or Tesla, or GTR, or Supra, or Aston Martin), please have them contact me.

Reminder: Lotus Event, Sunday, 09/23/12, 8:00AM
Bump! 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.
Updated Lotus attendee list:
rcollum (Elise)
Mark Franke (Esprit)
DWilde (Elise)
Jenn & Tim Glann ('67 Elan DHC)
Greg Smoak (Elise)
Pazuzu (Canyon Red Evora)
VMontes (Europa)
KidTroopa (Exige)
DJBrianC (Elise)
TwinSkrol (Elise SC)
Norm B (Seven)
Jamie Gershowitz - (Lotus du jour)
Jeffrey H. (Esprit)
Adam (Elise)
Tom N. (Esprit, possibly 2)
James H. (Elise)
JayJ (Elise)
Scott Lentz (Seven)
Michael Dougherty (Seven)
Matt N. (Evora)
Robert Chandler (Elise)
XtremeVA (Exige)
SilverSurfer (Elise)
Cashman (Exige)
RassulH (Exige S260)
RBH (Exige)
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.
Don't know where this is? Use MapQuest or your GPS, using the Kohl's address -
12551 Fair Lakes Circle
Fairfax, VA 22033

Request For RSVP - Lotus-Related Vehicles, Sunday 09/23/12, 8:00AM
Looks like this Sunday is going to be great weather - a mixture of sun & clouds, 70F maximum. A PERFECT day for a Cars & Coffee! I already have 26 confirmed Lotus cars for this event. (Maybe we will rival the number of Mopars that gathered here earlier this year!)
I'd like to hear from any of you with 'Lotus-related' vehicles that would like to participate, so I have an idea of what volume of cars to expect. We're looking for cars worked on by Lotus Engineering. If you have an early Corvette ZR-1, a Tesla Roadster, a Delorean, or a Jensen Healey, we're looking for you. Lotus also did suspension and chassis work on late-model Aston Martins, as well as the latest model Jaguar XJ & XK aluminum chassis. If you have questions about whether your 'cousin car' would qualify, please email me!
Of course, even if you have a car that has nothing to do with Lotus, you are more than welcome to be part of the Fair Lakes Cars & Coffee that will be right next to our group.
