A couple of weekends ago, my wife and I took a trip into the mountains to play with the Lotus Owner's Group that was converging in Asheville, NC. One of my brothers recently bought an Evora S, so we met him and his girlfriend there, along with a bunch of our fellow motoring enthusiasts. Our driving took us into South Carolina, Tenessee, and Virginia too. The Lotus group had arranged some backroad mountain driving, as well as an autocross and drag event at Bristol Motor Speedway.

I've always liked the looks of the Esprit. This one is a contemporary of our cars, the fifth generation. This one, in particular, is a twin turbo V8.
There were a few of us non-Lotus drivers. This Pantera is another timeless beauty.
