Shame there isn't a better picture of the rear bumper/exhaust redesign. The front looks a bit nasty and that rear spoiler is awful.

Yes... I know I don't like it
Another Lego Elan -just played with, not driven. Guy doesn't know much about aerodynamics either and the colour scheme is awful.

It a shame as there is clearly a lot of work and money gone into that, albeit misguided

In-between Elans right now

Everyone to their own I suppose
At least it's been owned by someone who was enthusiastic!

I wasn't saying it was a good idea, it was interesting with what they have done, as in the carbon fiber bonnet etc... there is an awful lot of work that has gone into it. They have never frequented LEC to my knowledge.

Not to my taste either BUT I do think it's cool when someone has a vision and goes for it.
Provided he/she likes it and can find someone else who does, so they can sell it - job done!

Not sure the effort is always worth it but I'm sure they enjoyed doing it...

The upside down car is real, I saw a Youtube on how it was made a year or so back. It's actually a small car withthe bodh of a larger car hung off it. From memory it's performance was lacking but is got many laughs and looks of confusion from teh marshals.

Just found the youtube link, I don't think it was the one I saw earlier, worth a look or a chuckle.
