Today Genae and I went to the 29th annual edition of the Colorado English Motoring Conclave. It is held every year at Oak Park in Arvada. Lotus Colorado had a good turn out, as usual, with a variety of years and models. We briefly said “hi” to a few of the LOCOs before wandering around to look at all the other marques. Everybody asked me where my car was. It was parked on the street, next to another LOCO member who didn’t enter his car.

I think Genae talked me in to entering my car next year. I’m sure it won’t win any awards, but it will look nice parked with all the other Lotuses and if the weather is as good as it has been the last two years it will be a dandy way to spend a day.

Organizers expected more than 500 cars there, representing most English marques – Rolls Royce, Bentley, Lotus, Caterham, MG, Austin-Healey, Jaguar, Rover, Mini, Triumph. There was even a Hillman Minx! (There are at least two Minxes in the area; Michael and I saw a different one here last year.)
