i bet you do, wait until the Maserati stand, will they show an MC12 even though it isn't in production any more, never seen an MC12, when i do though, i will get a semi.

Would not imagine they will Adam...but who cares when the current range looks so good. And it looks like myself and Frank may have stand passes...Thanks to the wonderfull Enzo.

Lucky sods, you are going to have to thank Enzo in a good way, you know what these Italians are like.

Yep...seen the films.....

You better not hope he acts like the Don, if so you will have your work cut out.

Yep...seen the films.....

First they cook you the best spag' boll' you're ever had (What is it they put in the sauce?) then they take you to one of the many flyovers they always seem to be building and structurally attach you to it's foundations!

 

[Andyk]

Got to say thats not the type of film I was talking about....I'll shut up now....

i think they put red wine in there the sauce.

You're going to shave Andy K? Is he in agreement????

As we are talking about EVO the story of Lotus future has been exciting me for a few weeks now.....As most now I'm a big Lotus fan and I mention as the company now has an Italian ex Ferrari man as CEO.

So Lotus are going to move up market and tackle Porsche and Ferrari head on...Now they have tried this a few times ove rthe years and not had much success..So why will this time be different?..............Over the years most of Lotus employees have been bought on from within the company but this time have you seen the people they have poached.....

Danny Baha is now the CEO - Ex Ferrari director
Donato Coco is now design director - Ex Ferrari design
2 ex Porsche directors
Bob Lutz is expected to join soon as well

As long as all these guys can gell together I think they could produce some very special machines...at Paris they could be 5 new models..

Supercharged Evora
3-Eleven - Base on Evora to sit above 2-Eleven
Evora based 4 door supercar
Esprit
Sports Hatchback

Lots of Lotus die hards I'm sure will say they are moving away from their roots but for me I think it could be one of the most exciting periods in Lotus history especially if it works. I know we have Aston Martin but wouldn't it be great to have Lotus with all that History and passion up there with the big boys....We shall see.

Best Exige, love it to bits but quite pricey.

 

[Andyk]

Thanks JP..you right just up my street......Still a few of them for sale at dealers to be honest. Exige S is just a bargain for the performance and fun factor.

If money was no object then this is the Exige I would have...Great for a trip down to the newsagent on a Sunday morning.
