Last night I stopped in at Golden Valley Jaguar for the unvieling of the new Lotus Evora.
They had a Carbon Gray model open for viewing (and to sit in) along with a couple of Exige S models, an Aston Martin and the BIR guys brought a spec racer.
A nice event with wine tasting and food from Crave.

In talking with the BIR guys, at the event, I found out they will be moving the Evora and at least the spec racer, down to the AutomotorPlex in Chanhassen for tonight.

Plans are also to have the Evora back at Jaguar on wednesday for the sales staff to do some test drives. (sales staff drives not general public)

Just thought some of you might be interested.

Do you think Phil will be there, checkbook in hand? Wonder if they would take a "7" in trade?

If you need a cover story for Sue, you can tell her you are in Rice Lake visiting us, and that the large amount missing from the family funds is a short term loan to us to help us keep current with medical and housing costs since Nancy had both knees done this past summer, is self employed and had no income, and that all this was costly to our savings and general family budget.

I don't see Sue buying any of this, but you can give it a try if you'd like.
