    I've seen much of the rest of the world. It is brutal and cruel and dark, Rome is the light.

        This car has had a similar shape and design for years, virtualy all super cars follow the same lines.
        I am not qualified to give the above advice!

          Lotus rocks, the fact it looks like a Gallardo is a bonus to me. However they should price it at a lower point, just checked and apparently it is priced to compete with a Porsche 911 Turbo, think I'd go with the Porsche TBH.

              The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

              But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

                If it's anything like the old esprit, it'll be popping up in Autotrader in a couple of years as engine blown £500 ono

                    The Elise has proved to be reliable especially since they started using Toyota engines and I just read that the new Esprit will most probably have a BMW V8 so I doubt it will have too many problems.
                    Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson
