[WDWFREAK53]

So I'm a total girl when it comes to cars and such. But I thought I'd share... my brother has an older model Lotus which most people seem interested to hear about. I think it's bringing him closer to being 007 in his mind. Though it is not capable of going underwater... :lookaroun

Oh, so your brother got the downgraded model?

Eh, if a Lotus can't go underwater...it's not even worth talking about :lookaroun :lol:

I'm sure people around here would LOVE to see a pic of it! (Especially Jer)

:ROFLOL:

I'll find one and scan it if they're interested. It's red though - not white. And he DID mention something about homing missiles...:lookaroun

Wait...I thought the homing missiles only came with the mid-grade model...which, in turn, comes with underwater ability. Are you sure he said "missiles" and not "pigeons?"

I did hear what sounded like "coo"-ing last time I was in his garage...

Oooooooh, Lotus.:slurp:

Esprit, I assume.

*Patiently awaits photos*

Yes- Esprit. I'll find one and scan it.
His wife also has a '67 Mustang (I believe '67... :shrug: ) It's a light yellow color. To be honest, I like that car better. Not sure if I have pics of that one though...

 

[mkt]

Which do you prefer? The Sky or the Solstice? I like the front fascia of the Solstice but the rear deck/fascia of the Sky.

I prefer Sky.. except for the connotations taht come with Saturn ownership :lookaroun

Jer, did you see the Batcycle yet?

I can't wait for The Dark Knight!

No... no "BatPod" out in the wild yet (thats what Warner Bros. is calling it).

But all 3 or 4 "Tumbler's" are out in the parking garage. :slurp: :slurp:

Yeah... I know the movie is still a year away... but I am all psyched for it to. Lots of filming for the past week.... right in front of my office. I have started to carry my good digital cam on me... in hopes of snagging somthing good. :lol:

You should ask them if you can design a Nav system for the Tumbler :lookaroun

I think Morgan Freeman had one installed when it was still a spec vehicle for the military. :lookaroun

Does it have XM? :lookaroun

I wonder if the BatPod "comes from" the Tumbler...that would be interesting.

Rumors said yes... WB said no. :shrug:

 

[k.hunter30]

As you requested - the Lotus Esprit:

The Mustang I mentioned yesterday is to the right

 

[WDWFREAK53]

Wow...that's REALLY clean!

(I don't mean shiny either :lol: )

Very nice!

Nice!!

Anyone heard any rumors on the new one?

 

[WDWFREAK53]

I didn't even know there WAS a new one.

I thought the Elise was their only car now.

Now I'm intrigued!

 

[WDWFREAK53]

Ya know...here's a question.

What do you think is the worst US sold 2-seater convertible on the market?

There are many popping up nowadays...

I would have to go with the Toyota MR2 Spyder. There is nothing about this car that I like...It's ugly, it looks extremely cheap, and it doesn't look like it would handle well or have any power to it.

There's definitely one in the works, and I think they've confirmed they'll use a BMW engine (not sure which one, but probably the on from the new M3). I've seen spy photos but they've been HEAVILY camoed.

I don't know of many being sold now, but if we can go back a few years and use a liberal definition of "convertible", I'd have to go with the Del Sol:

What models are on the market now? Miata, Z4, Boxster, Solstice (Sky), Crossfire (discontinued), S2000 (discontinued?), 350Z . . .

Am I missing any? I'd take any one of those. I'm not real thrilled with the latest styling of the Miata, but it would still be a fun car to buzz around in.
