Yeah, the car will be in several pieces.... As I was leaving the dealership, I saw the steering wheel and parts of the dash board coming out of the car. Allen was putting tapes all around the edges of the car, so I'm assuming the clams are coming off, too...

The code I'm getting over and over is P0420 (Catalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold). We've replaced pretty much everything related -- new ECU, new O2 sensors, new cats (twice), new exhaust.... -- so everyone (including Lotus BH, Lotus USA and Lotus UK) are thinking it's an electrical problem.

Hopefully we'll get this resolved this time.
