lc_09 · 01-20-2008, 12:01 PM

ok...its not likely that i'll get a response to this spotting post. but maybe.

This is my third time in London (work trip) and, this is my first Lotus sighting.

Today at around 4pm London time. 06 ST Exige. On Queen Victoria Street at Cannon Street intersection. (Bonus sighting.. there was a black Gallardo right behind the Exige.)

I had just walked out of the Mansion House tube station, was walking toward the millenium bridge going to the Tate modern. I tried to get my camera out of my bag, but I was too slow.

skiddo.. was it you? maybe not, you're from manchester right?

On the advertisement for the Chihuahua Express race in Mexico to the US and back (April 11-13, 2008) they feature a black Elise with the stickers "Peligroso, chica loca" on the back (dangerous, crazy girl!). Illinois license plate 803-4959. There is also a side picture cropped of a gray Lotus too with the race number 5 on the door and a sticker EO T2 R below the driver window. Okay, which LT'ers went racing in Mexico last year?! This race is part of the Silver State Classic Challenge International Series it says: Chihuahuaexpress.com.

loanshark · 01-21-2008, 03:32 PM

Southbound on Bundy in west LA.

aspen white exige or elise. I couldn't tell from the rear view mirror.

white lotus turned left on olympic, we continued south on bundy towards the 10 fwy.

Whoa, that was me in a AW Exige!

esoteric · 01-22-2008, 10:53 PM

Yep, that's the car! That's kick ass she raced it in this event. I hope more women begin to race in solo timed events.

Bavarian Motorist · 01-23-2008, 09:40 PM

I kind of like the blacked out tail lights

esoteric · 01-26-2008, 10:48 PM

3 SoCal spottings today! 2 in OC, 1 in LA

9:45am spotted a yellow and a red lotus after C&C in Irvine - was that you Chris and your friend, the LT mime? Sorry I was too busy to stop and talk, I was running late to meet someone. Next time!

5:45pm in LA area: silver Elise with hard top and Arizona plates heading north on the 605 right before the 210 fwy. Passed you in a black Carrera4, I smiled at you from the passenger seat. You are a brave man taking your Lotus out tonight, we opted to leave my Elise back just because of the wet conditions.

Rachel · 01-27-2008, 07:37 AM

I miss my car.

1. My first time at Willow Springs.
2. When you go a little bit too fast.
3. La Carrera Panamericana (which I missed this year)

I have more stuff at http://www.mil0.com/blog. I should make a gallery dedicated to this car. It traveled around North America and was a blast. It really didn't deserve what has happened to it now.

Silver Lotus Esprit going really really slow... (about 40mph...) I think the car was caravaning with a U-Haul truck behind. The car was going so slow, I thought the Lotus was towing the U-Haul truck...

The car looked awesome!

Yes that was me. I was moving that day.

Your car looked great too.

I saw a dark grey Elise in front of the pizza place on 19th & Campus near the Bank of A in Upland.
