Only 550?

Naw, I’ve had a few VWs and Jaguars that do that too.

Just like some cars holding the lock button will close the windows.

Could be an adhesive to help the tire/rim at the top speeds.

Australia, the New South Wales plate is a bit of a giveaway.

That does suck. Get Bruce Canepa interested in Lotus’ and in 15 years it’ll be legal.

A lot. Probably not the US

The UK has some fun loopholes that allow some very interesting machines to be registered and insured for road use.

All good points if you’re only shopping in the US. Here in Australia we can still buy brand new Elise/Exige/Evoras from the Lotus dealerships. This 4C is about the same price as a low mile supercharged 2012 Elise.

This. You’ve got the right idea there Buddy.

Not in the US or the UK.

I know right?

That’s a sweet Scooby wagon though.

It is in my country (Australia). There’s a tier system that categorizes infringements so the upper levels of severity result in an instant impound, multiple occurrences of the mid levels result in an impound and multiple impounds results in forfeiture.  

Haha no probs Bud. Not a guru though, just 25 years of buying old shitty bikes and being to poor to pay someone else to work on them.

That it is. Little parallel twin with a 180deg crank. Still a simple enough bike. Carby rebuild are cheap and syncing them is easy when done once a year or every 5000kms. Make sure your head bearings and swing arm bearing are in good order and the rest can be done by sight and sound.

The XR was a trials version of the SR and the XT was the full fat off roader. All of them a solid bikes. They only have one of everything so it’s easy to keep running and simple to work on. They will run long after the motor should have exploded from lack of maintenance and mine which only ever gets summer use doesn’t…

No, the tails lights are from the Delta S4 Stradale:

I don’t think you read the description. They say it is an S4 but not one of the Group B competition cars. Plenty of the were built for use outside of the Gr.B and this is one of those. They go on to say it’s heavily modified including the body.

Exactly. He seems to forget that driving is not a right. Prosecution should counter argue that his alcoholism automatically excludes him from being able to drive a car on public roads.
