Jason is Chasing

A compilation of 'why Lotus' wouldn't hurt their marketing from guys like Mark. It would be better than some of the stuff I've seen from Manufacturers. Real people matter

Thanks that's great feedback!!!

Sounds like you had the Opportunity to really immerse in Lotus, and a brilliant story. After having tested one, I believe its without equal as a drivers car. I do wonder how quirky ownership is, and I hope I don't have too many experiences similar to Alfa Romeo (I'm also grateful that this isn't something I talk about publicly). What's your ownership experience been like?

Honestly it sounds like more than the Future of Lotus, but the Future of the Driver, the more I read this thread (I'll be 50, by the time I begin to see the changes proposed) the more I hope theres a renaissance of track rats that will keep my beloved hobby alive

Well at least I'm not alone! I hope so too brother I'm looking forward to joining the cult!

You're speaking to my heart when you show me things like this

I don't know man, I might end up too busy enjoying my car to go run around with other peoples! (You just aren't going to let me lay low, are you? I appreciate it brother) Well, there is always an Apex to chase, that moment of the perfect setup, that perfect line, that perfect drive out of the corner, there's so many experiences to discover and experience. But this girl (Provided it works out) First track day? She's there.

California Sir, (SF Bay Area specifically), and an Evora,

I laughed so hard at this, I spit my morning coffee!

So I finally had a response from my local Dealer, and I'm pretty stoked, he says that hes going to check with his rep to see what or if any incentives are available. On or about November he suspects theyll have something in stock, when he gets back to me Monday, I'll be trying to take a day of leave to head down and see if we can come to an agreement on securing it in my name. I know it's not a big deal for most of you where Lotus is in abundance, but I'm pretty stoked and wanted to share.

Wild, as an American I've always looked at the UK as the last Bastian of hope for the Petrolhead, and the driving experience, so its news to me. I live in California so when I hear this about my State I'm not taken off guard I recognize, we're a bit 'wazoo'. To hear the UK blows me away

Wow that's a big statement, a ban on petrol cars in 2030 for the UK?!?! Oh my

Curious

Guy on an Alfa Forum posted this for me, I thought I'd share,

Man, more to the myth and legend, what a rich and brilliant history

I seen a Cortina with a friend, and I honestly didn't even know Lotus had anything to do with it, until he educated me, brilliant shots, and amazing it's still in track time condition

This has to be the quote of the decade right here!

Yankee ladies have a different flavor of attraction I think, 😛

I think you guys are intentionally trying to get me to expat with this stuff:p

They would have to be anticipating sales like the C8, and there would be very few LT1s to be found today. Almost everything that were seeing is the LT2/3 range on or about 85-120k. Chevy can do this and lose money on the Vette, because the rest of their lineup eats the cost, they know Vette owners are a small margin of profit, and that's a hugely small market. If they're going after that market I think they'll find that the Corvette market is a cult, and they're behind the power curve to compete directly. They are well suited however to go after the Mazda Miata, but that's a different topic entirely I imagine. Or they do like Alfa introduce it, as the 4c was, then pull the plug counting on introducing a Sport Saloons, and SUVs to take the brunt of the ROI. Noone is going to ask me, but its exciting, I personally think they'd be better off making the safety modifications to their current Elise/Exige Lineups as a reintroduction to the US, heck pick an Elise any Elise, almost any condition and its 30k if its road legal. After which pushing the new platform. Curious stuff really, and pretty exciting. (Obviously I'm typing 'thought to mouth here)

Wow the Monaco GP what w dream come true!

Brother, I'm humbled, I'm just a guy with a beer, and dont consider myself anything but a guy sharing his passion for driving. I'm really grateful for your time, Seriously. What a gorgeous color, that's quite unique

Sold! To the bald man that looks like Uncle Fester!

Thanks for sharing this, it looks like a hell of a drive

Pictures Sir! They're needed it's been eons! Will do brother, sorry I haven't done so yet, I've been pretty slammed I'll get on that tonight!
