Rare 60th Anniversary Edition Lotus Elise SC.

Only 60 of these cars were imported into the US. I believe this is the only 60th Anniversary car in Minnesota. It is black with titanium stripes. Full track pack, tires, etc as described by the Lotus press release below. This car is stock with the exception of an aftermarket amplifier and 4 speaker system, and a LETSA shift linkage kit.

This car has seen some track use...10 hours total. Other than that, it has been street driven. The interior is a 9.5, motor and trans are perfect, tires are good, body is perfect, paint is an 8.5 due to a few track scars (scratches) from debris, etc. A good paint guy can buff most of the nicks or scratches out for around $1000 tops.

This is one of the best handling cars you can drive. It is not a daily driver, unless you're so inclined. Heal and toe are perfect, great balance, great brakes, and the supercharged TRD motor puts out over 200hp. The motor revs quickly to 10k rpm. The car weighs about 2000 lbs. This car has been in a few different magazines and calendar shoots, including a national campaign for Wizard products. It has a soft targa top and a matching hard top.
Clear title. PLEASE, no tire kickers, etc, etc...I do not have time to play around with test drives, etc. If you know this car, you'll know what you are buying. Serious parties only.

Lotus settles with ex-CEO Dany Bahar, avoids London High Court

Sun, 25 May 2014

Five years after it began, it appears the Dany Bahar tenure at Lotus is finally over. After former Lotus owner Proton brought in the ex-Ferrari and Red Bull marketing savant to run the company in 2009, everything had gone pear-shaped by 2012: Proton had been sold to Malaysian auto supplier DRB-Hicom, who suspended Bahar and then fired him for what it said were expense-account transgressions (although Bob Lutz reportedly said something different).
The separation led to the expected suit and countersuit, Lotus going after Bahar to get its money back, Bahar filing a $10.6-million suit againt Lotus for wrongful termination and potential bonus money. The case was set to go to trial next month but both parties have settled, the terms undisclosed, a DRB-Hicom statement saying only that "the parties involved in the legal suit have signed a Settlement Agreement and Release... and have agreed to withdraw their claims against each other."
Now that that bit of housecleaning is all cleared up, can new CEO Jean-Marc Gales please get our Esprit?

Forza Horizon announces January Recaro Car Pack with LFA N"urburgring Edition

Wed, 26 Dec 2012

Another month, another car pack for Forza Horizon. This time it's the Recaro Car Pack featuring a motley gang of cars and trucks: the 1983 GMC Vandura G-1500, 1995 Ford Mustang Cobra R, 2012 Cadillac Escalade ESV, 2005 Mercedes-Benz SLR, 2012 Lexus LFA Nürburgring Edition and 2012 Lotus Exige S.
It'll be up for download on Xbox Live on Tuesday, Jan. 1, 2013 for 400 MS Points. As usual, if you have the Forza Horizon Season Pass you can get them all free, and Season Pass holders will also get a bonus car that's not pictured: the 2009 Pagani Zonda Cinque Roadster.
The Pagani is everything opposite to that Vandura, but while you might not ever win anything with the van, you can always use the back of it as a place to give out free hugs. Check out the video and press release below for more details.

Race Recap: 2013 Bahrain Grand Prix follows the template of this year and last [spoilers]

Mon, 22 Apr 2013

The sand, the wind, the penalties, the contact and the one crash - all of them collided to make the Bahrain Formula One Grand Prix a surprise affair from day to day and lap to lap. Oh, and did we mention the tires? Pirelli made a last-minute swap after the amusement park ride that the Chinese Grand Prix turned into with the soft compound tire, and brought medium and hard compounds to the desert. That didn't stop things from falling apart for some teams - literally - and that didn't stop the one team that seems to love the hard compound Pirelli tire.
