Lotus 0: GTA 1

Postby Paul Taylor » Fri Feb 19, 2010 8:53 pm

Just had a play with a 08 Lotus Elise R off a set of lights.
He was revving the pants of his lotus at the lights, and kept nudging forward. So i thought why not.

He almost had me at the begining of 1st, then the turbo took hold.
Was car lengths ahead when i made my point, and slowed down.

Got to admit, its a damn quick car for its age. :D

Whats the joke ?......

Really proud of my Renault. It did well against a modern pocket rocket.
My wife was in the car at the time. She also could not believe how fast it was. I would put it on par with my old 510hp Camaro.
