    Earl I meant to send this to you, Mike Burroughs was on the Smoking Tire podcast 2 weeks ago. Really cool hearing personal details about both the E28 builds.

          Some may get physically angry over this car and my like for it, but oh well.

              What's not to like about a Lotus? ...other than the fact that the midwest hardly has any decent roads to drive it on 😕

                  Sweet action!  Be thankful for the roads you have in Wisconsin.  I miss the roads around Platteville, here in north IA/ south MN it is nothing but cornfields and straight roads, and still full of potholes of course.

                    I'd still take the raptor :D

                    The Elise is a neat car, they destroy in autox with Hoosiers. They basically never leave first gear haha

                      What's not to love about an Elise and a Raptor?  The Elise looks fun.  I'd recommend reading an excerpt from Doug Demuro's book Plays With Cars about his adventure driving his Elise across country immediately after purchasing it.  I'm sure there are quite a few things you can relate to after your journey.

                                My bad, didn't look close enough.

                                But can confirm would still drive the raptor. Nothing against the lotus, as they are crap tons of fun.

                                I have just always wanted a raptor, for reasons

                                  That's basically why I wanted one too!

                                      I'd like to but sadly, my desire to track this car will most likely have the same result as my desire to track my R1.  I'll never get to do it.  Maybe in 10 years when the kids are out of the house.
