Wheels Across the Pond puts on one of the largest British Car Shows Every year. The date is April 20th. Usually gets a decent Lotus turn out. Would love to see as many Europas as possible this year. Three Europas are already pre-registered, including two forum members. So if any of you are a couple hour drive from North Palm Beach County (Jupiter), would love for you to bring your cars out or just come to see the show and meet. There were 350 British Classic cars last year.

I went to this show in 2015. There was a large turn out of interesting British machinery (I never knew BSA made a car) and a couple of non-Brit cars as well. A good number of Lotus, but unfortunately no Europas the year I was there. Great show, nonetheless.

I hope you guys have a big time!
I might think this belongs in the "events" section, though.

Dakazman:
Looking forward to meeting you in person! Paul Freen from this Forum will also be there. :beerchug:
BDA:
Is there anyway for me to move this post to "Events"?
-
No... I was just saying that for future events and to alert Joe that it might be a good idea to move it. He's the only one who can do that. I meant no criticism of anybody, I just wanted to let people know that there is already a place to tell us about events.
I wish I could go. It sounds like fun!

Literary madness,

Wait......Dave you’ve never seen or driven a running Europa?
-
Once briefly ..., it pulled into my high school parking lot as the late bell rang ....and shutoff . That was all it took to hook me . That was in 1973.

Add me to the never driven a Europa club. I have also only ever seen one running car....and I own 3!!

Chuck, now that you're finished your house, when do you start working on your baby?
-
Building a carport this month so I have a dry place to store them...Sadly I think it will still be a few months before I am back at it...

Oh man, Lotus Europa’s are magnets to men who desire low profile mid engine sports cars. It’s like the beautiful girl in high school you watched from a distance and later in life dated or married her.
-
I'll be on overload, 3 europa's that run and in one piece . :blowup:
the website has a great list of entries 195 vehicles in all .

You need to come to a LOG Dave. More Europa’s than you will ever see in one place. I have flown to a couple of them and arrived without a Lotus. It’s still a very fun weekend!
-
It’s all most here. 260 card Registered . Forecast clear. 😀
Looking forward to a fantastic day.

Maybe next year 😀. With my car.

Picture perfect day at ,”Wheels Across the pond”. Lotus had a significant amount of entrants. Pictures of the event and winners in each group are on the website and also on Facebook.
Wesley and Paul are so knowledgeable on all things Lotus. I had a great day and finally saw and heard an Europa running. I really am fired up to get my lotus on the road ASAP.

Great meeting you at the show!! I can't wait for you to get your Europa running. We'll all do a Florida Key's run with Paul. Your car would look great on the Seven Mile bridge.

Wesley, Big Thanks for offering to let me drive your car . If there were less people around I would have jumped at it. I would definitely need an ac system to do that run .
PS , I laugh so hard after seeing your call sign , I get it now
but I’ll let you do the honors explaining it

Looked like a great day out. Very nice looking Europas. Thanks for sharing the photos.
-
Nice meeting you Dave. I can’t wait to see your car. I am moving to Orlando in the next year so I will be a lot closer.
It was a fun day.
-
Nothing better than a car show to get you motivated! I’m drooling over the yellow Europa.......I want mine reassembled and on the road.......
-
I thought I’d post a few more pics of the he event here so everyone can see.

Looks like a great time! Nice to put some faces to the names. I’m looking forward to attending a car event where mine is not the only Europa. (Guessing that will be LOG 39) :beerchug:
Cheers, Tom

Yellow and orange seem to be popular in Florida!

Looks like a great event. Yellow and orange, what would you expect in the citrus state?

There was a referendum voted-on in the last state election to allow Lotus cars in the State of Florida in colours other than orange or yellow, but they lost several thousand of the ballots. It was close! They are till trying to find the missing ballots and waiting for a recount. Hey it is a Florida thing LOL. So BDA hopefully by next year your white Europa will be allowed down here and Dakazman's completed Black Europa can be registered legally :confused:
-
Remind them that Europas have two trunks in which to find ballots!
:lotus:

Remember Ruby Red Grapefruit, sounds like a good Lotus colour that should be allowed in Florida.
