[Alvin Gogineni]

Sunny and warm weekend in the Bay Area so I took Sora out for a quick drive
with friends.

Geoff's 1963 Lotus Elan S1. I love the hardtop on this

We drove up HYW9 to the vista point, down into Boulder Creek and home via
Bear Creek Rd:

The Lotus is tiny! Makes the Datsun look like a Cadillac. At 1500lbs and
similar power it scoots.

We did a roll-on and had a blast driving together, enjoy the Solex Sounds
