Hello--
Since there has not been any activity on this forum to date, I thought I would chime in on behalf of the Golden Gate Lotus Club
http://www.gglotus.org based in the San Francisco Bay Area. I am a past president of the club and have owned Lotus cars for more than 30 years. I am defnitely looking forward to the new Elise. I had an S2 Super 7 for 10 years, and the several Elises I have been able to drive in the U.K. clearly uphold the tradition

. I want to let everyone know about the upcoming West Coast Lotus Meet scheduled for May 20-23 at Lake Tahoe. It promises to be a super event in a spectacular setting with lots of activities to suit all tastes. In addition, LCU has promised us that examples of the Federal Elise will be there to participate in all events. Check out the website for details and note that an early bird registration fee offer available until 2/20/04 will save you lots of $$.
Cheers, Joel
