Of course I buy green cars, my Aston is green, my MGB is green, my Disco Sport is green,  oh, that's not what you meant by green?

If Lotus still exists in a few months ...  Things aren't looking too good over there.
Still can't get it how they can spend so much money in motorsports.  Even the production of the nee Exige V6 was stopped 'cause there were no parts delivered, too many unpaid invoices.

Agreed, I'll believe it when I see it.  After that lame turkey of an engine they built for Indycar, its tough to take them
seriously.

Don't the Malaysians just rent out the name.  So Renault rent it for F1, and for a few bob you could have it on your lawnmower, even if it wasn't made in Hethel

Makes you wonder if they are building up their racing pedigree and image to improve their value, for when and if they do sell.

Who remembers the Lotus Carlton?

If you're going through hell, keep going.

The project is being run by Colin Kolles, and the construction of the chassis was supposed to have been started back at the beginning of November, with the crash test scheduled for 10 December.  I know that was the plan, but have yet to hear if it has actually happened.  Watch this space......
