So
why is Mike Causer nominated for every office?
When news of
the October GGLC Meeting was posted on the internet Lotus List, GGLCer
Tom Carney mentioned that the GGLC would be nominating its slate of 2002
officers. Mike Causer replied to Tom in a series of email responses one
of which included the following:
Fellow Lotus Owners:
If elected your President my first
act will be to change the club 's name to something I can remember, with
the initials GLCC (Mike repeated used these in his posts and received multiple
corrections from Tom).
Then, I shall reduce the club dues,
while increasing the Club's spending on track rental and barbeques.
I will not forget the poor, the
watchword will be "A Snap-On in every toolbox."
Under my Presidency the Global
Lotus Car Club will break new gearboxes, strike new Armco, boldly go further
into the boondocks than man, or woman, whether racer or autocrosser, has
gone before!
I thank you for you support,
Mike Causer
Mike also threatened to have
meetings at his home in England. The GGLC ever so desperate warm bodies
to occupy its offices promptly took what may have been said in jest serious
and the members nominated Mike for every office available and created special
offices especially designed for Mike to assure Mike would be elected for
some position were he to lose the Presidency. |
