Random car and/or Lotus related pictures and videos

Where did the years go?

This was 19 years ago at Motorway sports cars when they were at Boughton under Blean in Kent.   My wife asked them to let me have a test drive in an esprit for my 30th birthday ( had already been banging on about wanting one for years before this point).  They were incredibly generous as there was no chance of me buying one at that time and they gave us 2 caps, 2 lotus t shirts and a load of posters.  I did however buy my first lotus an excel se 8 years later from them when they had moved to Canterbury.     I am guessing it was an S4s but not sure.

 

If there is a thread for old lotus pics the mods are welcome to move it.

I know it won't be to everyone's taste but this is probably the first Lexus (the LC500) I've seen that actually looks good to me. All subjective I know. Love the red, it's like our own Canyon / Chilli...

I have now seen and read it all. Not jealous (no, not at all) but the gulf between super-rich and normal is now just getting silly!

Hit and Run in Brighton. Not pleasant.

That is absolutely horrific...

Looked a bit like a Fiat 500, not sure.

Hope they catch the shite soon...

Isn't it strange watching peoples reactions, some seem reluctant to approach or get involved.

It's a little bit "show-offy", but you might enjoy this new Hexagon Classics film; look out for our Elite S2 SE in the shots.(The film is "out" today).

@JonoSeven Beautifully shot film, stunning! Are those all Paul's cars?

[JonoSeven]

Yes, Paul Michaels has some very special cars in his collection. He has owned some of the worlds greatest cars, and has an incredible knowledge of most leading marques. The film showcases that very well.

It underlines how iconic the original shape is, you can only destroy it once you try to modify it.

Shades of VW kit car looks.

Well, that makes the white one look better  less awful.

Re the white one, I wonder how much lightness has been removed.
