Have you ever wanted to go to a local Lotus club event, but the distance needed to travel back and forth was a longer duration than the actual event. Have you felt geographically isolated and unable to join in the fun of a group event. LotusPALS Rally Day aims to fix that while simultaneously promoting Lotus as a marque to the general public and encouraging owners to use their Lotus more frequently.
The idea is simple and straightforward. On June 23 (the closest Saturday to the Summer solstice) Lotus owners are encouraged to get their Lotus out and use it for the day. Go to a local attraction, eat out at a bistro, go for a scenic drive, run all of your errands, take the kid to soccer practice, even if you have to work use the Lotus as transport for the day. The point is to get as many Lotus out in public on the same day as possible. While you won’t need other Lotus to join you, it certainly would add to the fun to join up with your Lotus buddies for some socialization.
If you see another Lotus on the road, honk your horn, flash your lights, and make a spectacle of it!
Take pictures along the way and post them to social media and forum sites you are a member of.
The event is sponsored by LotusPALS. A special edition T Shirt will be available for those who wish to purchase. A portion of the sale price will go to support the LotusPALS web site. Shirts are available at LotusPALS Merchandise (Now available - Look for LotusPALS Rally Day and size up! as they run small).

Be sure to DRIVE your Lotus Saturday all day long, wherever you go, go in style and show everyone your Lotus. Take pictures and post, waive/flash other Lotus you see, or better yet, stop and introduce yourselves.

:pirate: Saturday is supposed to rain here in Boston, but Sunday is British Car Day at the Lars Anderson Museum! We are expecting a good turn-out of Loti. It would be great if I wasn't the only Europa!

Nice collection, Ted! I wish I could be there! I hope you have a good crowd!

Despite the light rain, overcast skies and a slight (one day) delay for a number of us to go for a Lotus country drive I made the best of it by opening my garage and displaying the Lotus flag for all to see (not many people out driving around today) and then going for a drive when the weather radar said I had a gap. Not a single sports car on the road, much less another Lotus! Never the less, I always enjoy going for a drive in my Elan S1 :-) Unfortunately my Europa is waiting for the paint shop to finish the body work....... (don't ask).
-
Beautiful S1! And it sounds like a nice drive!
I might know what you're going through with your paint shop. Mine took a lot longer to paint than I expected. It's a royal pain, but I'm sure you'll be flying high when you get it back!
-
Agreed, BDA.
The Elan and particularly the early series before they went to the Jaguar/Europa tail lights really are very pretty.
-
didn't see any other Lotus on the roads today, but I did come across this SpaceShip on the Cohansey River off the Delaware Bay in South Jersey.
-
Your M100 looks like it belongs there!
-
Lots of Loti, (but only one Europa) at British Car Day at the Lars Anderson Museum in Brookline MA. It did seem like my Europa was getting most of the attention, the odd-duck factor, I suppose.

surfguitar58 = is your license plate suppose to suggest "Type 46"?
4 X's = 40 6 total X's together = 46?
I can't figure any other combination....

Ha! Keep guessing! (Fun as it would be to keep you guys struggling for meaning, plate was photoshopped to protect the innocent (or guilty). Real plate number is just the next boring sequence issues at the Mass RMV that day.)

But... if you are still searching for meaning in my fake license plate, there is this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vwdzJ8vwC8Q
