Well done Liam.
Keep it to yourself though, or the prices on the bay will spiral!
Cheers

It's behind the driver's seat, low down.

Even then you'd need a set of these linky to take to the motorways.

Hmm certainly truck wheels will take on a new meaning
May I suggest fitting several very loud horns and a flag Many 4x4's will just not be able to see you at all so it will require the best in
defensive driving. Might have a similar problem as bikers do in that it might not registered as a car or be noticed by those not paying attention.
James Dean’s accident apparently was due to his silver porsche speedster just being too unusual to be subconsciously recognized as a car by the other
driver. Certainly wouldn’t paint one black that’s for sure, red or Lotus colours with the yellow stripes would be best IMO.

No different to driving a 7 on the motorway apart from a lot more street cred....The old saying of "loud pipes save lives" would be best
applied....

I find that on the motorway(in the Roadster) that the performance/handling advantage helps with the blind types - you can accelerate/brake/steer away
from them.
A sixth sense would be nice sometimes (as would a bazooka!!)

A big stroker would be natty if a tad expensive to run as most only do about 10mpg and slurp oil like it's free...sound and smell mad
though...

chassis is upsides down obviously here. The dash bulkhead is simply two pressed sheets welded either side of the tubes, the sheets don't even
appear to be welded together as you can see the gap

Meant to ask sooner, what size person will fit in the car? Is it a classic Lotus size, or can normal folk fit? I ask as I'm 6'3" and
15 st. And I really would like to fit in it!

Well I fit in, but I have the body of a god.
Bhudda.
Ask anyone who knows me, I won't be winning any "Mr Thin" titles anytime soon.
Height wise the pedals are adjustable in five positions, hopefully it should accomodate folks from 5'5" to 6'5", but I
can't be certain as I'm the only one who's sat in it so far (making brum brum noises!)
