Decent car YouTubes
Re: Decent car YouTubes
That all hangs together well, the extra oomph and running gear mods just seem like an extra bonus
I'm not that familiar with Lotus, so if you'd told me it was a factory build I've believed you without question. I like the glow of the rear lights, I get the idea if I was behind it in stop-go traffic my retinas would escape unscathed. Mentioning eyes, because it may well just be mine, is the front access panel a slightly different shade? I can imagine Liquid is a pain to match, especially in that situation.

Strange mix of at-least 11 year old Fiesta stalks and air vents and then Vauxhall headlight switch on the newer non-touchpad versions
Re: Decent car YouTubes
Do you suspect they are trying to pretend they are a low volume manufacturer?
The 90's Frod key on mine is pretty pony (yet still a millionty times more acceptable than vehicle-shaped item) and yes some of the switchgear is from more mundane vehicles, but if i'd wanted bespoke beautiful stalks, I'd probably still be saving up for my Pagani.

No, just strange in the sense they're using parts from two different manufacturersmik wrote: ↑Thu Dec 19, 2019 11:49 pmDo you suspect they are trying to pretend they are a low volume manufacturer?

Re: Decent car YouTubes
Lotus have always been rummaging around in other manufacturers parts bins. It does have its benefits, usually because you can get the bits cheap.KevH18 wrote: ↑Fri Dec 20, 2019 10:15 amNo, just strange in the sense they're using parts from two different manufacturersmik wrote: ↑Thu Dec 19, 2019 11:49 pmDo you suspect they are trying to pretend they are a low volume manufacturer?

6 cars this year cos we're broke
I'll have a Project 8 please.
The project 8 did seem very appealing though
Re: Decent car YouTubes
They are indeed very desirable without the wing and leaper sticker. Not sure how it qualifies for entry this year though, I thought they came out about 18 months ago.McSwede wrote: ↑Sun Dec 29, 2019 4:49 pmspeedingfine wrote: ↑Sun Dec 29, 2019 4:32 pm

I know we've posted a few of these but watch the first few cars, Quattro, Corolla, Mantas... then watch Tony Pond hustle that barge of a Rover SD1.

And the Muira used indicator stalks from the Mini, they've all done it from day one.Simon wrote: ↑Tue Dec 31, 2019 12:37 pmFTFY.Jobbo wrote: ↑Tue Dec 31, 2019 10:07 amDoesn’t the Zonda have the same third party heating controls as the Rover 45?mik wrote: ↑Thu Dec 19, 2019 11:49 pm
