I was almost tempted by the Lotus Evora as featured on Fifth Gear on Monday, but that would be a total waste of £60k of my ill-gotten gains wouldn't it...?


007's Esprit was very cool at the time though....

Esprit Turbo could go quite fast but wasn't a very nice car really.

The Bond connection for me is the real kiss of death though.

Load of vulgar silly cobblers.

Never amused me much. Snobbish of me perhaps though.

Apparently JFK was so keen to have Bond types working for the US too that some general put on a show for him using a lot of circus performers and acrobats. He gave the OK and the result was 'special forces': murder squads working behind the lines in Vietnam. Their descendants are still with us (or rather, harrassing innocent Afghan poppy farmers) today.

Fun huh?

The problem for the Evora is that pricewise it is in the same region as the Cayman and the GTR.
