Hey Mark,

Thanks for the forward.? Was going to touch base with you today anyhow.

I ran the route this Saturday and it was pretty clear of junk.? Not perfect, but better than I had expected.? Looks like it may not rain, so that's about all I can ask for!

Would you recommend I send along a reminder this week?

Best, DJS

Hi Mark,

A few points that I could add.

First, I re-drove the route Saturday.  It was almost entirely free of
debris.  A couple sections had some shmeg on the road, but better than I
expected considering the heavy rains last week.  We'll just have a few
sections to go (very) slowly and enjoy the scenery!

Second, if you wish to refuel in Eugene, there is one gas station I stay
pretty loyal to right along the route to the start of the tour from I5.
They don't charge for air either.

When following these directions, at #4, turn right on Willamette and there
is a 76 station about 4 blocks up the road.

* **Exit I5 at exit 189*
*a.     **From the north, exit 189.  At the end of the off ramp, turn right
a the traffic light onto McVay Hwy and head south for about 0.5 miles.  Then
turn right onto 30th Avenue.*
*b.     **From the south, exit 189 and turn left onto 30th Avenue.*
 *2.     **Continue on 30th Avenue for 3.2 miles.  Turn left onto Hilyard
at the traffic light (note Albertsons on left)*
*3.     **Immediately turn right onto 31st Avenue.*
 *4.     **After about 0.5 miles, turn left onto Willamette St.*
 *5.     **Proceed south on Willamette St. about 3.1 miles where you will
find the entrance to Spencer Butte park on the left just prior to the crest
of a hill.*

I'm happy to hear some people will be coming.  Heard from a about 4 others,
so we should have a nice convoy!  Hopefully the tour will be worth your
efforts!!

Thx, DJS

    Top 10 Cars That Should Come With a Stick But Dont

    Photoshoot of my Elige in Hollywood w/ new LED DRLs   
Here's a quick photoshoot I did of the car today. Let me know what you think.

Since the last photoshoot I posted here of the car, I've painted the gas cap (thanks 6i9, GStephan, Murix, MadMan Markiss, agirls, Julio at Mulholland, and many others), added the spoiler (thanks shay2nak and RENDERMAN) and did the front LED DRLs (thanks t955152). If I forgot to thank anyone for your ideas, please post and remind me!

Last pics have the DRLs on, and the final pic is with the low beam HIDs on as well.

    I can see inside the Elise at night now! Much needed lighting!   
So, everyone knows the little light on the rear panel doesn't light up the inside of the car enough at night especially in non lit places.  So I saw this thread:

    Tuning Software: Stock Lotus ECU   
This thread is to better explain the features and availability of the very comprehensive tuning suite for the stock ECU.  In addition, will post the tunes that we've made with the software and their availability.

*Background*

This software, known as _FastWorks_ was pioneered by one of the best ECU software engineers on the planet (handle is Hackish on the forums). We have worked together for months on end, around the clock, to release this extremely powerful bit of software that completely unlocks the stock ECU! This software unlocks the stock ECU allowing you to have "standalone" like flexibility/tunability (remember the Lotus ECUs started life out as high-end standalone race ECUs) with all the great OBDII compliancy of a stock Lotus tune remaining intact.

    where do you keep registration documents?   
I picked up my Elise last Saturday, and it dawned on me today I hadn't been carrying my registration, insurance, etc. documents.  I threw them in the boot today, but I don't expect a police officer will like that much.  Where do you guys keep them so they're handy, yet out of the way and secure?  I'm leaning towards a document sleeve/folder velcroed under the passenger seat.  I feel like that would look suspicious, too, reaching under the seat during a stop.

    Had it a month...wasn't expecting public backlash   
So I've had my chrome orange 06 for a little over a month now, and am thoroughly enjoying it.  It's my daily driver, and I read all the threads about what to watch out for & expect and all that.   But what I wasn't expecting was the backlash.

While I was busy minding my own business, apparently some people in my tiny little town with too much time on their hands have taken to facebook, and I got the pleasure of seeing it thanks to a coworker.

"drives like an idiot"

and the gem of the bunch:  "I was driving a few cars behind him yesterday, it was all I could do to not rear-end him.

I was introduced to PDX last year and used my Boxster. I have since developed a sickness and need to bore the sh!t out of my wife with car/race talk. Thankfully, our season started in April and I've hit all but one event this year.

Last weekend I tried out the Elise, pretty much stock with the exception of Rotas and R-comps. Opened a pretty technical configuration (B) of Reno Fernley Raceway Track Information, Track Facts and Configurations (http://www.

Mark,
One more thought. I realized that even age could ne be a discriminator for membership. Basically, a club is in a position of saying we are a group that enjoys a certain thing/activity, in our case Lotus, we offer the a number of services/insights related to the topic and have banded together to promote/expand related services. If you are interested ? join. The corollary is also true. ?If you are not interested in what we do and how we do it you do not have to join and we will go on without you.
It is odd how our culture has changed so dramatically over the years.

Mark,

When I read the by-laws I could understand why you are concerned that they are outdated. I chaired both the Mid-California and Baltimore Sections of the Society of Automotive Engineers plus I served as an officer/board member of several Sports Car Clubs and realize that a 10% participation by members is extraordinary. Recently, I wrote the business plan and interface contracts for a start up in New Jersey. I am noting this experience to give you a background for the comments. Please consider the input as a first cut to the final document.

Tom Styczynski
?

General:
-????? I was looking for a place to define the privileges of membership. Something like for the dues payment members receive a membership card, decals, access (via club listing) of members/cars, right to vote for officers, club coordinated discounts, newsletter, website, e-mail notification, etc.
-????? Terms need to be consistent. For example members are noted by the term General Membership and Club Members. It makes one look for a definition for each level of membership.
?
Purpose:
-????? First line ?.among Lotus Marque Enthusiasts in the state of Oregon and surrounding region. (The document later notes that directors serve Northern/Southern regions I could find nothing in the front of the document that defines the projected territory)
-????? Second line ?historic significance and continued production of?
-????? Third line recommend
The Lotus Club North West seeks to supply technical assistance, parts/service sources, and share Lotus marque knowledge through general meetings and planned club events.
?
By ? Laws
-????? The first two lines notes both corporation and organization. I believe it should say organization in both places.
-????? I believe there needs to be a line describing the difference between member and officers. I would suggest that the member definition include verified dues payment and officers are nominated by/from membership.
-????? Third line ? The Club membership shall?
?
Affiliation 
-????? When I read this I wondered why and to what benefit to the organization and members is the affiliation. This should have an added line defining the terms of the affiliation.
?
Balloting/Elections
-????? Second and third paragraphs need a complete rewrite to vote by the internet. This will probably require a ballot electronically sent to each member, appointment of a ballot chairman and creation of a link to the website to vote anomalously. 
?
Dues
-????? As a non-profit shouldn?t the assessment of the dues be defined to establish a financial base of operation budget estimate? With the earlier the definition of members as shareholders requires the an accounting of distribution of profits, beyond the operation base. 
?
Membership Qualifications
-????? I am an engineer, not a lawyer, but I believe you can no longer disqualify a member for cause unless a specific membership criteria was violated. For example, technical societies have reasonable criteria in their scientific and technical exchanges. Age is reasonable at a minimum. Our discriminator is the specific marque. 
-????? Members join because the club offers something they want. This is a good section to define the benefits of membership. Examples are in the General section.

threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil,
criminal, administrative or investigative by reason of the fact that he or she
is or was a director, officer, employee volunteer, or agent of the Corporation
or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer,
partner, trustee, employee, volunteer or agent of another foundation,
corporation, business corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other
enterprise, whether for profit or not, against expenses (including attorneys'
fees), judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and
reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with such action, suit or
proceeding if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
Corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no
reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. The termination of
any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or on
a plea of no lo contendere or its equivalent, will not of itself create a
presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he
or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interest of the
Corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had
reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. 
?b.???? Determination of
Indemnification. Any indemnification under Section a. of this article, (unless
ordered by a court) will be made by the Corporation only as authorized in the
specific case on a determination that indemnification of the director, officer,
employee or agent is proper in the circumstances because he or she has met the
applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section a. of this article and on
an evaluation of the reasonableness of expenses and amounts paid in settlement.
This determination will be made (i) by the Board of Directors by a majority
vote of a quorum consisting of directors who are not parties to such action,
suit or proceeding; (ii) if such quorum is not obtainable, by a majority vote
of a committee duly designated by the Board (in which designation all Board
members may participate) and consisting solely of two or more directors not at
the time parties or threatened to be made parties to the action; or (iii) by
independent legal counsel, in a written opinion, selected by the Board or its
committee in the manner described in the foregoing clauses (i) or (ii) or, if a
quorum under clause (i) cannot be obtained and a committee under clause (ii)
cannot be designated, by the Board (in which action all Board members may
participate). Notwithstanding the failure or refusal of the directors or
counsel to make provision for indemnification, the indemnification will be made
if a court of competent jurisdiction has made a determination that the
director, officer, employee or agent has a right to indemnification under this
agreement in any specific case on the application of the director, officer,
employer or agent. 
?c.???? Advancement of Expenses.
Expenses incurred in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding
described in Sections a. of this Article may be paid by the Corporation in
advance of the final disposition of the action, suit or proceeding as
authorized by the Board of Directors in the specific case on: (i) receipt of a
written affirmation from the person seeking advancement of expenses of his or
her good?faith belief that he or she has met the standard of conduct set forth
in Section a. and b. of this Article; (ii) receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf
of the person to repay amounts advanced if it is ultimately determined that he
or she did not meet such standard of conduct; and (iii) a determination that
the facts then known to those making the determination would not preclude
indemnification. This determination will be made in the manner specified in
Section b. of this article. 
?d.???? Insurance. The
Corporation has the power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any
person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation
or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer,
employee or agent of another foundation, corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust, or other enterprise, against any liability asserted against him
or her or the Corporation and incurred by him or her or the Corporation in any
such capacity, or arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not the
Corporation would have the power to implement the provisions of this Article.

? 
22. Operating Policies 
A.??? The Club may adopt
informal ?operating policies? from time to time in order to facilitate conducting
business in a timely manner. Such operating policies are adopted by a consensus

This determination will be made (i) by the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who are not parties to such action, suit or proceeding; (ii) if such quorum is not obtainable, by a majority vote of a committee duly designated by the Board (in which designation all Board members may participate) and consisting solely of two or more directors not at the time parties or threatened to be made parties to the action; or (iii) by independent legal counsel, in a written opinion, selected by the Board or its committee in the manner described in the foregoing clauses (i) or (ii) or, if a quorum under clause (i) cannot be obtained and a committee under clause (ii) cannot be designated, by the Board (in which action all Board members may participate). Notwithstanding the failure or refusal of the directors or counsel to make provision for indemnification, the indemnification will be made if a court of competent jurisdiction has made a determination that the director, officer, employee or agent has a right to indemnification under this agreement in any specific case on the application of the director, officer, employer or agent.

 c.     Advancement of Expenses. Expenses incurred in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding described in Sections a. of this Article may be paid by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of the action, suit or proceeding as authorized by the Board of Directors in the specific case on: (i) receipt of a written affirmation from the person seeking advancement of expenses of his or her good?faith belief that he or she has met the standard of conduct set forth in Section a. and b. of this Article; (ii) receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the person to repay amounts advanced if it is ultimately determined that he or she did not meet such standard of conduct; and (iii) a determination that the facts then known to those making the determination would not preclude indemnification. This determination will be made in the manner specified in Section b. of this article.

 d.     Insurance. The Corporation has the power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another foundation, corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, against any liability asserted against him or her or the Corporation and incurred by him or her or the Corporation in any such capacity, or arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to implement the provisions of this Article.

B.    Amendments may be proposed by either a majority of the officers or 20 percent of the current membership.

20. INDEMNIFICATION
 a.     Actions in the Best Interest of the Corporation. The Corporation has the power to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director, officer, employee volunteer, or agent of the Corporation or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee, volunteer or agent of another foundation, corporation, business corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, whether for profit or not, against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or on a plea of no lo contendere or its equivalent, will not of itself create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interest of the Corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful.
 b.     Determination of Indemnification. Any indemnification under Section a. of this article, (unless ordered by a court) will be made by the Corporation only as authorized in the specific case on a determination that indemnification of the director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section a. of this article and on an evaluation of the reasonableness of expenses and amounts paid in settlement. This determination will be made (i) by the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who are not parties to such action, suit or proceeding; (ii) if such quorum is not obtainable, by a majority vote of a committee duly designated by the Board (in which designation all Board members may participate) and consisting solely of two or more directors not at the time parties or threatened to be made parties to the action; or (iii) by independent legal counsel, in a written opinion, selected by the Board or its committee in the manner described in the foregoing clauses (i) or (ii) or, if a quorum under clause (i) cannot be obtained and a committee under clause (ii) cannot be designated, by the Board (in which action all Board members may participate). Notwithstanding the failure or refusal of the directors or counsel to make provision for indemnification, the indemnification will be made if a court of competent jurisdiction has made a determination that the director, officer, employee or agent has a right to indemnification under this agreement in any specific case on the application of the director, officer, employer or agent.
 c.     Advancement of Expenses. Expenses incurred in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding described in Sections a. of this Article may be paid by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of the action, suit or proceeding as authorized by the Board of Directors in the specific case on: (i) receipt of a written affirmation from the person seeking advancement of expenses of his or her good?faith belief that he or she has met the standard of conduct set forth in Section a. and b. of this Article; (ii) receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the person to repay amounts advanced if it is ultimately determined that he or she did not meet such standard of conduct; and (iii) a determination that the facts then known to those making the determination would not preclude indemnification. This determination will be made in the manner specified in Section b. of this article.
 d.     Insurance. The Corporation has the power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another foundation, corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, against any liability asserted against him or her or the Corporation and incurred by him or her or the Corporation in any such capacity, or arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to implement the provisions of this Article.
 
21. CHANGES OF THE BY-LAWS:
A.    By-Laws may only be changed at the annual meeting or at any special meeting called and noticed for that purpose.
B.    Amendments may be proposed by either a majority of the officers or 20 percent of the current membership.
C.    All amendments must be submitted to the Executive team in writing.
D.    The exact amendment will be presented as soon as feasible to be published on the Club Website to inform all members of the proposed change(s).
E.    Voting on the amendment shall follow the same procedure as the voting to elect officers, excluding the specific time references therein.
 
22. Operating Policies
A.    The Club may adopt informal ?operating policies? from time to time in order to facilitate conducting business in a timely manner. Such operating policies are adopted by a consensus of opinion by the membership rather than a formal election to amend the Constitution and By-laws.
B.    Any member may challenge an operating policy by making a formal motion to suspend the policy unless and until it is adopted as part of the Constitution and By-laws as provided in Section above.

?a.???? Actions in the Best Interest of the Corporation. The Corporation has the power to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director, officer, employee volunteer, or agent of the Corporation or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee, volunteer or agent of another foundation, corporation, business corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, whether for profit or not, against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be
 in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or on a plea of no lo contendere or its equivalent, will not of itself create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interest of the Corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful.
?b.???? Determination of Indemnification. Any indemnification under Section a. of this article, (unless ordered by a court) will be made by the Corporation only as authorized in the specific case on a determination that indemnification of the director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section a. of this article and on an evaluation of the reasonableness of expenses and amounts paid in settlement. This determination will be made (i) by the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who are not parties to such action, suit or proceeding; (ii) if such quorum is not obtainable, by a majority vote of a committee duly designated by the Board (in which designation all Board members may participate) and consisting solely of two or more directors not at the time parties or threatened to be made parties to the action; or (iii) by
 independent legal counsel, in a written opinion, selected by the Board or its committee in the manner described in the foregoing clauses (i) or (ii) or, if a quorum under clause (i) cannot be obtained and a committee under clause (ii) cannot be designated, by the Board (in which action all Board members may participate). Notwithstanding the failure or refusal of the directors or counsel to make provision for indemnification, the indemnification will be made if a court of competent jurisdiction has made a determination that the director, officer, employee or agent has a right to indemnification under this agreement in any specific case on the application of the director, officer, employer or agent.
?c.???? Advancement of Expenses. Expenses incurred in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding described in Sections a. of this Article may be paid by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of the action, suit or proceeding as authorized by the Board of Directors in the specific case on: (i) receipt of a written affirmation from the person seeking advancement of expenses of his or her good?faith belief that he or she has met the standard of conduct set forth in Section a. and b. of this Article; (ii) receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the person to repay amounts advanced if it is ultimately determined that he or she did not meet such standard of conduct; and (iii) a determination that the facts then known to those making the determination would not preclude indemnification. This determination will be made in the manner specified in Section b. of this article.
?d.???? Insurance. The Corporation has the power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another foundation, corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, against any liability asserted against him or her or the Corporation and incurred by him or her or the Corporation in any such capacity, or arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to implement the provisions of this Article.
?
21. CHANGES OF THE BY-LAWS:
A.??? By-Laws may only be changed at the annual meeting or at any special meeting called and noticed for that purpose.
B.??? Amendments may be proposed by either a majority of the officers or 20 percent of the current membership.

?
22. Operating Policies
A.??? The Club may adopt informal ?operating policies? from time to time in order to facilitate conducting business in a timely manner. Such operating policies are adopted by a consensus of opinion by the membership rather than a formal election to amend the Constitution and By-laws.

Or maybe just a James Bond fan?

Are you forgetting Tesla and Lotus' collaboration on the Tesla
Roadster?  I would say that Elon Musk is a huge Lotus fan.

Cinetopia Progress Ridge and Mall 23 are playing Rush but not in the LR

A nice comment by a member of Oregon-based Club Lotus NW.

When the Tesla Roadster first came out, the people in the local Tesla showroom (located on Westlake Avenue very near downtown Seattle, which is now only a service facility) seemed to enjoy talking about all of the help they'd gotten from Lotus Engineering developing that car, but as soon as the PR and rumors about the really nice Model S four-door sedan began, they didn't really want to talk about Lotus anymore... hmmmm.

Hey Guys,

Thanks for showing up, I had a hoot!

Unfortunately, I don't have any pix.  I was too busy trying to make
people eat doughnuts.

Looking forward to the next one!
