Which bump did you get caught up on the BQE? that whole highway is a make the beast with two backsing nightmare to ride. I avoid it at all cost.

Maybe its just me, but that last lotus without the top looks a lot better than most cars out there after they crashed.

How is your brother?

My brother is better than ever. Walked away with no scratch.
This picture ^^^^ is no fun. Will not buff out.
These cars are difficult to control. It takes numerous track days to really know this car. No power assisted features or traction makes it a bit more than a go-kart with a bodykit. And this is the reason i loved it.

Hey Yak52pilot - I'm Lotus Fury from LT.

Wow, I didn't see that on Lotustalk. That sucks. At least you have the 696.  

The Elise/Exige does very well in crashes as the structure is designed extremely well. Lotus builds the crash structures for other firms including Aston Martin. Lotus = very smart engineers.

A 05 lotus is on my short list of cars that I was thinking of buying early next year.

But after seeing that perhaps not =(

Why not now? Clearly, they're safe-what more do you want in a car you'll probably drive like a 'tard?
If the state had not cut funding for the mental institutions, this project could never have happened.

My understanding is the car lost control because it hit a bump and since its basically a track car it bottomed out and bounced all over the place.

My other choice of cars might have handled that bump a bit better  ;D
