I was in Duluth, Ga today and decided to stop by Lotus USA Headquarters. I wasn't in my Elise but figured it would be cool to check it out, kick some tires, and maybe get some bangers and mash for lunch (didn't happen). Anyway, I met with Brian Shepherd who spent about 20 minutes with me. He took me into the warehouse section where I got to look at some Euro spec cars and a few media test cars and such. Apparently, Lotus is building a "special" racing Elise that won't be street legal but he couldn't really go into detail. Anyway, they had some stage I and II exhausts stacked up for dealers and basically about 10 cars lined up. They were nice folks all around and it was cool to see the place. You will notice one pic of an SY car in the front showroom with driving lights. Brian told me they will be selling the conversion (different grill + Lights) in the near future. I for one want this. The lighting is ok on the car and these look damn sweet! Anyway, enjoy the eye candy.
