    Well, if it wasn't legendary, it was close! The weather was near perfect, all of the rumored attendees were there, and there was a great assortment of truly excellent cars. Thanks to all for bringing them out!

    Another observation, which may fall into the category of shameless self-congratulation, so forgive me if it does. Late yesterday or early today, this thread exceeded 10,000 views - the ONLY active North Central Region thread to do that besides the "spotters" threads and the perennially popular "Sultan of Michigan". Not bad considering the original question of whether there was enough interest in Cleveland to do C&C...again, thanks to all.

    We ended up going on an impromptu drive at about 11am.....had over 10 cars, led by Tim, and it was fabulous.....ended up having lunch at Fisher's in Peninsula.

    SOOO, on the way back, coming north out of Peninsula on Riverview, Ali and I passed 10+ Lotus Elises, exiges, and Caterhams. I ended up going back to Peninsula but didn't find them. Who is this club and how do we get the elusive Lotus crowd out to C&C? Would've been nice to have them on the drive....nice caravan of over 20 cars.

    Loser. The worst thing about all that is I must have gotten bitten in my sleep or something because I didn't notice the bite until a few days later. And then I just thought it was a bug bite. Until my arm was the size of Mike Tyson's and all red.

    That was the Cleveland area chapter of the national Lotus club. "Cleveland Area Lotus, Ltd.," chapter of Lotus Ltd. The Cleveland site is www.calotus.com. There are a couple of guys from there who have shown up to Cars & Coffee. Ron with the Europa is one; I think an Elise guy might have at some point.

    They were on a wine tour or some such thing yesterday. A couple of weeks ago, I had personally invited several people I knew from the club, and they told me that's where they'd be.


    It was nice to finally meet you, Doug!

    Weather forecast is high 50s, 40% chance of scattered showers, and somewhat windy...sounds like October in Cleveland. How many hearty souls are out there?

    I won't be able to make it. Instead of being cold and talking cars I'll be cold and watching my kids play soccer & hockey.

    Sorry folks; I'm back in Toledo. Took the 944 instead of 308 to Cleveland today because of the nasty weather; this evening, weather wasn't looking good for Sat. morning at the time I left, so I just went back home. Hope it's clear and dry in two weeks . . . . :)

    So, who went yesterday? I know someone on 6speed was going to try and bring their Viper...

    Sorry that my dad and I didn't come... My dad said that we will go to at least one more this year, if the weather cooperates.

    Did anyone take any pics?

    My son is on the 96 Baron's team, beat Compuware twice this weekend.

    Hopefully the weather will be better for the next CC&C!

    Hey guys.....in the absence of a website, I created a Facebook group for Cleveland C&C....maybe this will help us make it through the winter when we have to park our cars in the garage.....if you're on there join up, upload pictures, whatever!

    Damn you...up to now, I've successfully avoided the whole "social networking" phenomenon...now I may have to be dragged, kicking and screaming, into the 21st century...
