True enough.  But I will have the TR4 there.  I will probably have the
Suburban there for support work of the convention.  Driving a THIRD vehicle
the 40 miles from my house may not be foremost in my mind. It might be great
fun to have the Lotus there to thrash around the autocross course during fun
runs, but it might not be worth the trouble.

(I don't have a trailer, but if it's any comfort to you, I may look into
borrowing one for the Lotus Owners Gathering.  I wouldn't mind driving the
TR4 a couple of hundred miles with my wife, but the Lotus?  NO.)
