Bought a Lotus
I still have the RX-8 after 6 years. The RX-8 has worked well as a daily driver so I decided to keep it and get something less practical.
The handling is amazing on the Lotus, it is not even close to anthing else I have ever driven. First tank of gas was 32.8 Mpg, about double what I get in the Mazda. http://www.lotustalk.com/gallery/fil...233-img_55.jpg |
I like the view of your driveway:) Congrats
|
gorgeous, congrats
|

|
:wolf whistle:
<--------- JEALOUS! it kinda makes the 8 look like a giant :rofl: |
i think that a lotus or a 993 turbo is my next car
looks sick, enjoy! |
Nice driveway. Now paint it Velocity Red ;)
|
fox lol, i was thinkin the same thing!!! the 8 looks like a beast size wise loll
and irish, i do believe you meant galaxy grey, once again your spelling skills fail you ;) |
Awesome Lotus. My friend's father owns Intermecanic, which is a well known lotus specialized shop in NY. It not unusual to see the shop packed with Lotus' everyday. Had an opportunity to take a Lotus Exige S for a spin and got driven in a track ready S240 pushing over 300rwhp. Truly amazing little cars.

Here are some more pics http://www.lotustalk.com/gallery/files//13233-14.jpg http://www.lotustalk.com/gallery/files//13233-20.jpg http://www.lotustalk.com/gallery/fil...233-jersey.jpg |
Pardon me while I live my life vicariously through your driveway.
|
awesome car love the color
|
i'm 6'2" and the elise fits me like a glove. the trick is getting in, and getting in with some amount of grace. once in, no complaints, perfect driving position
|
Very cool. I have always loved the Elise and Exige but have always needed the back seat of the rx8.
Check out www.secantvehicles.com Its a company here in the SF Bay Area specalizing in lotus performance parts. I went to a open house and spoke to the engineers and there products are very high quality and they are even getting CARB approved for california vehicles. They have a reflash that makes exige guys think you have installed a supercharger on your elise. They are also offering a supercharger. |

The 8 looks like a matchbox car parked next to the Challenger. Definitely looks like a beast parked next to the Lotus. I occasionally see one driving around here and I had no idea how tiny those things were until I actually saw one in person. Awesome looking driveway! |
Celica-GTS is a good engine. Nice street legal racer. :)
