CL:
Did I enjoy LOG38? Remarkably enjoyable! Do you remember the bit where a guy puts money into a coffee vending unit, pushes the button and coffee starts pouring out behind the clear plastic door? And after it stops, the cup drops into place?
That about sums up what happened to me. I went to LOG 38 knowing no more than what was on Lotus inc’s web page and what I read in the blogs. I knew the schedule of when things were happening, a couple of meals I was going to eat and where I’d be sleeping. Other than that, I went in blind.
I didn’t know about a mini concours, that “open bar” meant there was a meal with food that went along with it or that there were a multitude of categories where a car might be entered into the mini concours that better fit its type.... That is, until yesterday when my August reMark arrived with the LOG38 event guide on the back half.
However, I met Ray D my go-to supplier of old and upgraded parts. Met and enjoyed the company of the Vacarros, who I find are only two degrees of separation from me and many, many other friendly and easy to engage with people.
It’s something I could be easily talked into doing again.
I’d love to come back next year, but Massachusetts is on the other side of DC and I’ve never found a time where hauling a trailer anywhere near there is a good idea.
I’m reminded of Stirling Moss’ quote at the 1955 Mille Miglia after passing a stalled (I believe) Lotus 6 at the side of the road. “Driving a Lotus is a triumph of bravery over intelligence."
My bravery might be overtaken by intelligence next year, but maybe LOG40?
