I have been a fan of Lotus automobiles for many years. My first was an Europe that I picked up at the factory in May 1968. After returning from Vietnam, I bought a 1956 Lotus 11 LM from Evel Kneivel's father and raced it in the NW. I sold it when the Army moved me back east. In 2018, I decided it was time for another Lotus and bought a 1991 Elan M100 from a good friend who was the original owner. I've enjoyed the Elan a lot together with the folks in the Southern British Car Club here in Chattanooga, TN. One of the adventages of living in SE TN is that it is possible to have a nice day's drive through the mountains that includes the Tail of the Dragon - 318 corners in 11 miles. Mike Flood, the President of the SBCC and I did that last year. The car has been reliable and FUN! Mike Hemsley
