I would have been content just to have the Lotus...but this is fab!

By chance, is your nickname for this work of art the "Mach 5", Speed Racer?

Did you take lessons on how to drive a fast car? I would have to take it out to the desert where it is flat and straight or else I would flip it over. Do cops look for cars like this to give a speeding ticket? If it were red it would definitely be a ticket magnate.

I dig the subtle two tone. Just add lightness.

I'm a British car guy and an Elise or Europa are the only cars I'd consider trading my TR6 for.

I think the silver stripe really makes it. The subtle color difference looks both classy and sporty.
