Yes, I saw and replied to that post of yours in "Rumors".dogma said:I responded also in the one thread over in the Rumors and News about the Elise Forum. I've had a deposit with Weissach for over a year now. They have given me a consistent story that Lotus will try to bring it into Canada, however the date keeps slipping. I did receive an e-mail from John Scotti in Montreal that I included in my other reply which suggests that Lotus will continue trying to bring the Elise to Canada.
Hopefully the Elise does not suffer the same fate as so many great cars like the R32 Golf that don't make it in because of bumper regs.
Yes, I've seen them and have spoken to proprietor Dave Saville-Peck at great length about that and other cars in general. In addition to his, I've considered building my own from scratch, based on Ron Champion's book "Locost" car.Darth G-F said:If I were you Peter, I would also consider a Caterham Super7. A guy in Chemanus is selling Hayabusa powered Caterhams. Check www.super7cars.com
For 47,000$ you get a 1070lbs(!) caterham capable of doing the 0-60mph in 3,2sec! Problem is I would need to sell my Miata to get that very special but very unpractical car.
Oh yeah, T-Rex... They still make these? I only heard about and seen one of these and then, nothing...Darth G-F said:Funny, I also want a Caterham. But I have another project on the side. Here what my be in my garage next year:...
Yeah, made by Campagna... I believe in Canada!Peter R said:Oh yeah, T-Rex... They still make these?
