New Lotus Europa - this one's a type 46 Series 1A

Well, it's true, we've gone and purchased another Europa. 

This one's a 1967 type 46, Series 1A. And, there isn't anything that it don't need!

But, that's what you get for $100. And no, that's not a typo.

See some photos.

By the time we get to Woodstock

... we'll be 70 miles strong!

Saturday afforded the opportunity to go on a massive drive, converting the normal 27 miles to Woodstock to over 70 miles. Half the mileage on the way home, but twice as fun and three times as many corners and twice as fast. Lotus alchemy? Nah, just a carefully planned series of backroads. In fact, we only hit one stretch of road that was in any way occupied in any noticeable way.
