You are very welcome. I studied theatre, and part of my study was
learning to interpret. And as an English minor, we learned to be to the
point.
I've been autocrossing for thirteen years, neener, neener, neener.
I really hope that whoever makes up the rules doesn't use "brilliance"
as a determining factor. What does it mean, exactly? Is it something
finite? Or is it, um, a feeling? An opinion? What?
I have no idea why I jumped in on this subject, other than I think that
there ARE some very talented Lotus drivers, no matter what Scotty says.
But never mind that. Last weekend at our Boondoggle by the Bay (281
entrants), there were FOUR Lotus 7s entered, and one Lotus Elan. Guess
who probably had more fun than anyone.
In fact, I can't believe it, but last Saturday, as I was driving across
the Golden Gate Bridge for a swim meet in the city, I actually saw one
of the Boondoggle Lotus 7s travelling in the other direction. It was
pouring rain, and he had no top. He was wearing a rain coat and his
helmet! I think he was off to Sears Point.
Brilliant, schmilliant. Lotus drivers are REAL race car drivers. We have
the mentality you all WISH you had. Lotii are so fast because once
behind the wheel you realize what's important and what isn't. They MAKE
you brilliant. They make you radiate.
Scotty, I promise, if you could just drive a Lotus it might help calm
some of the anger swelling inside of you. In fact, my father's doctor
recommended he drive a Lotus to help curb his Irish-Basque temper. Of
course, I never knew him before he drove a Lotus, but I've heard the
stories.
I am so mentally balanced because I grew up driving a Lotus (or at least
it's why I'm so weird). The Lotus was Colin Chapman's cure for the
blues.
Mom, if you're reading this, my guru says my aura is looking a little
off color. When can I have that ride?
