Lotus is one of two featured marques at the British Invasion car show in Stowe, Vermont, in the northeastern US. The dates are Sept. 18-20. Information and registration forms are here.
I attended this show for the first time last year, when the featured marques were Jaguar and Morgan. I have never seen so many beautiful and beautifully-prepared cars in one place. Last year's Lotus turnout was very small, about eight cars. This year should be better. Stowe has many restaurants and lodgings of all kinds, and the location in the Green Mountains is glorious.

I love the sound of a torque wrench in the morning. Sounds like... progress.

Popping this up, since the event is only two months off and registration is in full swing.

Three months ago I tried to book a 2 week holiday in the Mass/Vermont area to include this event, but everywhere I tried in my holiday club was fully booked. I was all for going on-spec for B&B/motels, but the wife won't stand for that these days. It's not like the 'old days' of 30 years ago when we travelled across the US on a few occasions without any firm bookings.
I'm sure someone will publish all the pictures just to make me jealous.

Here they are - not all the cars there (700 or so?) and not even all the Lotuses (perhaps 20) - I concentrated on Elans and Sevens. The weather was perfect both days, although I drove through some rain on the way up Friday (tried keeping the hood down - worked until there was more rain inside the screen than out...) The secondary roads in Vermont are conducive to spirited driving and I enjoyed them, even in the rain.
