Dennis, Where are the Lotus Elevens?
I have a tight deadline to get images and captions to the editor for posting. I once owned a Lotus Eleven ( not 11 ). If possible I always include an Eleven image. Of course I would have needed to capture a wonderful Eleven image.. I’ll be back this next two weekends for SVRA racing at Sears Point and Laguna Seca and will be looking for an Eleven image. Ciao Dennis
Great shots as always Dennis. Sorry I missed you, I owe you a lunch!
Great work Dennis. It’s surprising how many of these cars I remember as “old friends” from back in the day, here in the UK.
