Good riddance! There is zero value in having glass there... you can't see anything through it anyway.

You could start a spin off of your brand called "really lumpy stuff" to those girls, eh?

The Exige "tailgate" IS heavy, no doubt.

all the parts that are available in carbon, the tailgate is the only one left. And I'm sure Lotus will massacre you on it's price. $2k>

It would be more of an upstart than a spin off.

Not sure I understand, so I trust that you know I meant no disrespect to your products with my comment - just trying to be funny, but sometimes a post does not show the humor as well.

It's all good, maybe my humor was too subtle... the "UP" in "upstart" was meant to be the funny part. In a Vi*gra sort of way...

I'll keep my day job.

Ok, cool, I get it! (Too sublte for me so I will keep my day job! If the "up" was "UPstart" I'd have gotten it).

For my next day job, I want to carry this girl's bags or fettle her clam, or something like that:

D*mn you! Cold shower time.

Where does a fella have to go to see scenery like this??!?

Thomas, you should lend Mike your engine lid so he can make a carbon mold!

...but remember, the 2-eleven has a street legal version in Europe. I doubt we'll get so lucky over here as to get a street legal Cup Car.

That engine lid (and wing) are *heavy*, aren't they?

Lotus Builds Ultralight Exige for Road and Racing Duty

Bleu Omdurman · 10-10-2008, 12:24 PM

Of course I do hope it can be driven on the streets, but mostly so I can get it to the track without buying a truck!

Personally, what I love, is that Lotus seems to be listening to the customer. They see that many of us, in keeping with Chapman's mantra, are reducing wieght and adding lightness.

The changes to the factory cars are remarkably similar to the mods we see on our own cars.

Lotus! I'll be coming to visit in a week.

LOL that's what I said! That was posted on another thread a few weeks back and I was told it was a woman...I still don't believe it. LOL I have never seen a woman dress like that.
