I dunno Mugsy. What do you want to do?

[jbcollier]

Man oh man, I need a ride this Sunday. Let's start early-ish and make it a long one. Open to any and all suggestions

[Andrew]

Good idea! Count me in.

[pk50]

sounds good maybe out strathcona county way? the roads are in nice shape or out through saint albert

[LibertineAudrey]

I think Nick and I might be in, but Sparkle Motion needs some help (again). I started a new thread.

[jbcollier]

I have one of our destintions.

11 a.m. we go check out a 1968 Lotus Europa in Sherwood Park!

Always been a pet dream of mine. Don't get your hopes up though as it is a series 1 basket case.

[Andrew]

ooooooo.... mine too. Just seeing what is available and at what price would be very interesting. Where is the meeting place?

For another ride, since this sort of thing seems to be of interest, I have a friend out Devon way with two Lotuses (one a Europa) in various states of renovation (as well as twenty-some other project cars, including a Mini Moke, a Mini wagon, a Mini van, a Renault Gordini, etc., etc., and other interest in the form of a very nice Peugeot moped, donkeys, sheep, etc.).

[david]

SHall we meet earlier at Wild Earth south side (99st.) at 10 am. or so?

[jbcollier]

Sure, sounds good to me. I'll be bringing the sidecar as James is joining us.

[jbcollier]

Meet at 9:30 a.m. at Wild Earth Cafe (99 St and 89 Ave)

Leave for Sherwood Park at 10:30 a.m.

[Andrew]

Perfect for me--just around the corner. See you tomorrow.

[jbcollier]

Still pondering on the Europa. Talked to him again and he says he has everything (upholstery, etc) still in goodish shape. I might be taking another look at it tomorrow.

Somebody shoot me... please!

[Andrew]

AAAAHHH! Car Fever! I know a case when I see one!

Buddy in Spruce Grove with the Servetta and the 90 had a phone malfunction today; will be home tomorrow, apparently. But In just committed the $2K I might have spent on his Servetta to a new engine for my Mini project--so I think a Spanbretta is not in my immediate future.

John: I will go back out with you to SWP tomorrow to lend moral support, esp. if you'll ride my R100CS and see if you agree with me that the steering head bearing needs attention.

[Andrew]

The Lotus has landed. Next step: rust persecution. And NOS righteousness.

[redbike]

.... And NOS righteousness.

Haaah!

[coyoteran]

Oh for the heady days of yore when, in my limited world view, NOS meant Nitrous Oxide. Because of you enablers I am now painfully aware that it actually means New Old Stock and am even more aware of the pain that term brings to my wallet.

Thanks. Thanks a lot.
