Description And I'm not talking about yoga, baby. This is such a sexy car....and oh man....when I saw it sitting there at the valet station of the hotel....and saw the way the sunlight was coming through the skylight onto it.....I swear I heard angels singing and harps playing. A car couldv'e run me the hell over and I'd have died happy. THAT.....is hot. *drool*



Please, please, PLEASE....C&C!!!

Nah nah. The poem is for more of a "second mother" if you will... The girl from my dream was definetly not. I had this dream of me in the future.. in like a business suit (That's the funny part.. >.> Me.. in a suit.. ) leaning forward slightly to cup my hand around the chin of a -very- pretty/sexy latin girl with brunette curly hair.. And... lemme tell ya.. If that's one of my 1 in 50,000 dreams that come true.. I will NOT complain.

But the Lotus cars.. they do things to me.. -purs-

Your shot is much better than the one I took of the same car when I was out at the Garlic Knot!
That's why mine isn't here!
What time did you upload this?
What are the odds of us both posting a Lotus in the same day?
take another look at the stars....

I know! I caught that! Unfortunately, I uploaded mine last night. *sigh* Curse me and my impatience!

It really is a nice shot, isn't it? I'm pretty happy, because I've been getting so many nice comments on it....saying it looks like a magazine shot and stuff. I'm honored!

Yeah, I think it would also look really good as a high-contrast black and white picture (though it's perfect as it is).

You really think so?
I was hoping for some good feedback from you and Deek and some of my car officianado friends here. I think the composition is pretty good here, too. The angle, the lighting....almost makes it look like it's a big cat, creeping out of it's lair or something.

BrianSouth In reply to takara13 [2006-06-14 02:22:06 +0000 UTC]

They call the front end of those models the "smiley face" I'd be smiling too if I had one. That is one great shot for all the reasons you mentioned A fav for sure!

Good shot. It elevates itself a bit above amateur photography - it's the type of shot you'd want if you wanted a full page ad in a luxury car sales mag.

Ahhh, Lotus.... drool
Only problem with the Federal Elise: It's relaly heavy compared the the rest of the world.
Still, fuck awsome shot there mate...
...hmm, meant to be waxing and polishing Elise-chan come to think of it. But I'm in the middle of doing the Alfetta and my arm ALREADY feels like it's going to fall off

takara13 In reply to wraith11 [2006-06-13 14:28:53 +0000 UTC]

How MUCH heavier we talking? Enough to seriously impede on it's handling? It's got such an awesome stance....I'll bet it sticks like f'king glue in the corners. And now you see what I mean about the shot, yes? I think I caught a great angle here....and the lights/shadows....oh my, yes!!

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

wraith11 In reply to takara13 [2006-06-13 23:36:18 +0000 UTC]

Ummm, 200-300kg, over the S1 Elise. The S2 was about 100kg more than the S1, then the Federal Elise was bassed off that, but needed ABS, air-bags and the like to make the safety standards. But it'll STILL stick to corners like shit to a blanket and the engine in that's almost twice as powerful as the S1 (88kw to about 120kw I think, not sure).

And yes, it is an AWSOME shot.

I went to this Lotus website and checked out the specs.
190hp @ 7800rpm?? Top speed of 150....eh, that'll do.

A little comparison for you....according to those specs, that car is about 900lbs heavier than a Formula Vee (with driver), and almost 3 times the horsepower!!!

wraith11 In reply to takara13 [2006-06-14 02:42:21 +0000 UTC]

Ya, damn good Ours tops out at 220kph, so I'm not sure what that is in mph.

Damn, I can't find the video of the Exige going up against the Apache anymore.
