Amy, refer back to my post # 91 on this Thread regarding LOG, Lotus Owners Group.
To me, there is an atmosphere of mutual understanding , respect and trust which has allowed the hobbyist , replica manufacturers, independent clubs, etc to co-exist on an equal basis with Lotus & Caterham. The quote by R & T Editor Peter Egan is very relevant :
"No snobbery here, with Lotuses, the cult of physics and concept is at least as powerful as that of the number plate"
In the end , the legend and respect for Colin Chapman has been strengthened.
For the mutual benefit of all parties, sure would be nice to duplicate the same approach.
