Nothing wrong a little bit of Coldplay...

The song tile fits....God Put a Smile on Your Face

Seeing that Lotus does make me smile.

 

Alpine?

 

Renault Alpine, I bet:



Snap!

And to put the Alpine in some perspective, while it is 11" longer than a R56, it is also 7" narrower and has a 8" shorter wheelbase, so it's really quite a small car.

 

Why not, if they can pull it off it will be exciting. Using the same old hot hatches for rally cars is getting boring.

Love the black one!

 

Kewlio! Wonder how much candle power that thing throws out...

 

Hmmm. What do I liquidate to get one'a these black rides? Very Cool!

 

Cannot keep looking at this.....they have a sweet used red Exige at the Lotus dealer here.....

 

I'm guessing this brand of cigarettes wasn't sold in the US, so the black-and-gold history may not be well known. This is a 1970s Lotus F1 car which was, I think, the first major international tobacco sponsorship of a racing car - it wasn't just in car design that Colin Chapman was an innovator!

 

JPS was not a US Brand, still isn't. One would have to visit a specialty tobacconist to find JPS and Silk Cut here in the states.

 

Oh this works.

Reminds me of the early Lancia Stratos and some of those early French Rally cars which the name escapes me right now. :mad2:

But I would like to try some good Colorado dirt in this one. :devil:
