I was wearing a bright green Lotus cap *and* an SOL logo button, and
you still missed me! :-(

I counted the Lotuses: 1 Seven, 1 Elan, 5 Europas, 2 New Elans, and 7
Esprits. I think there were a few more last year.

No kidding. Every single Rolls (about 8) had a jar of Grey Poupon on
the back seat tray. Once was mildly amusing, but ALL of them?

And a spectacular DB6 in the parking lot!

I saw several of them, some in the parking lot.

This car is absolutly STUNNING! One of the prettiest cars I've ever seen. I
believe it won BOS last year, too, unless the black Jag won.

It *was* pug-ugly. :-) To each his own.

Including the blue C-type I photographed last year. Because Lynn and I left my
sister's house in a hurry yesterday morning, not only did we leave Lynn's
wallet, but we left my *camera* behind as well. :-( :-( It was too far away
to go back before getting to the show. Arrrrgh.

Also a similarly-spotless Lotus Europa. ...and most of the Esprits were
extremely clean as well.
