Here is a pic. Fortunately Audi changed their original concepts of the R8 so my car did not look like a wannabe posermobile. Hard to believe it has been almost five years since that project.

What are you talking about?

British Racing Green carries the Lotus' racing heritage. It's probably one of the least color people would choose but I just can't pass driving the colors of Lotus' history.
