Title: **UPDATE** Southern California BBQ and gathering of "Lotus Europa Cars"
Post by: LotusJoe on Sunday,August 12, 2012, 01:14:44 PM: OK, we are about 2 weeks till the BBQ and Gathering. Can you give me some idea of who is going to join us?

As an extra thought what about inviting other Lotus Owners? Maybe Elan or Elise owners :confused:

Hope you all have a great time!

Post by: Bainford on Thursday,August 16, 2012, 08:48:48 AM: Wish I could make it, Joe. If it was within a day's drive of me I'd do it, but I'm afraid I'm a bit farther away than that. Sounds like it would be fun. In fact, I'd relish any opportunity to meet other Europa owners and their cars. Throughout my entire life I've only seen three other Europas in person in Canada, and none of them since I've bought mine. Just once I'd like to drive down the road and see another Europa coming the other way. Heck, I love to see what mine looks like driving down the road, or more importantly, hear it going down the road. I love to know what this thing sounds like. I'm going to have to find someone who I can talk into driving the lotus someday...

Post by: LotusJoe on Thursday,August 23, 2012, 05:20:08 PM: :beerchug: Update :beerchug: :BBQ:

OK, so we will have hamburgers, hotdogs, Halibut, Salmon, and Lingcod. If anyone is wanting some thing else please let me know. You are more than welcome to bring your own protein if you wish. There will be an assortment of snacks and a variety of Beer and Beverages.

I look forward to seeing you guys this weekend.

Also if someone could post this update on the Yahoo Forum I would greatly appreciate it. For some reason my ISP is being blocked from Yahoo. Although I can go read post at the Yahoo Group, I am unable to post.

Thanks

Post by: EuropaTC on Friday,August 24, 2012, 10:24:34 PM: I managed to get onto Yahoo this morning & posted your update. As I had the same issues you did, they must have cleared it and you'll probably be ok now as well.
