Title: Bling for 659
Post by: LeftAngle on Sunday,July 29, 2018, 10:30:01 PM
659 won’t be running In time for LOG, But between important tasks like mounting windshields and seatbelts I’ve been working on bling so I’ll at least have something show.   Tonight I got the LAMM window to light up.   Maybe in 10 days I’ll have more to display.

Cool! Too bad the casual concours will be during the day!

Thanks Dakazman.   Now I realize what the true reason I retired was.  Projects with to-do-by dates are no fun getting near the end.  The motor light and angel eyes are done, but three more difficult/critical things are still waiting for me to do.   I’ll make it, but my mood at LOG might not be the best.  This is my first LOG event so I’m a newcomer to that as well. Exciting times for me.

Rest assured you'll have a big time at the LOG, Left! I have no doubt you're care will draw quite a bit of attention! Presumably you'll want to enter the "casual concours" or "people's choice 'competition'"  and you'll have to decide what kind of Lotus you have.

Enjoy it, take a lot of pictures and post them in the gallery when you get back home!

Your first LOG is always an adventure and a bit of anxiety about what will happen. Be assured you will have a great time amongst the Lotus faithful and everyone is friendly and more than happy to talk about your car and the work done. I’ve been to two LOG’s without a Lotus and they were still a lot of fun.

Suggestion, there are two contests you can enter if your in a mood to write about your experiences of why your Lotus isn’t running but you brought it to LOG. A LOG trophy is a cherrist thing.

 Just a fast question, what and when is LOG ?

The main Lotus club on our side of the pond is Lotus Ltd. They hold a Lotus Owner's Gathering (LOG) every year, usually near a track or other feature where your Lotus can stretch her legs as well as some other interesting attractions. There is a speaker with some connection to Lotus, banquets, a "casual concours", and sometimes a serious concours, a panoramic picture of all the Loti in attendance, and a lot of other fun with people of a similar affliction.

This one is in Cincinnati. They will announce the location of the next LOG there. If you can go, you should!

The 3 day event sounds great, .
