Yet another re hash of the same old 18th century Christmas tree design, isn't it about time they updated it to compete with more modern trees.. etc.. etc.
That may appeal to the modern 'yoof', but not all of us want a tree that effectively does everything for you.. Some of us like the feel and general shape of old trees. Yeah bristles may fall off, and there's the frustration of trying to get the lights on level, replacing failed bulbs on a regular basis etc. Its all part of the experience.. Jellinek said:

Take note Ken...
That was good fun and not over-long.
Yup. Short, fun and to the point. Enjoyable. That was good fun and not over-long.
furthermore, the inclusion of elements such as the gate man, the older Lotus, and the slow crawl (having a look round, indoors) lend a sense of narrative
this piques the curiosity and is much appreciated between the moments of drifting
fabulous driving, mind; but nowadays we're spoilt for the sweeping, smokey shenanigans of drifting
weaving in a bit of narrative, or implied narrative, is truly entertaining

That's set me up for the weekend
However it's given Chris Harris another excuse to whinge on Twitter. Did an Evora run over his pet cat or something?
I don't get his comment? The Evora has an LSD the Exige doesn't. Not sure why this makes the vid ironic. Maybe he got out of the wrong side of bed this morning. However it's given Chris Harris another excuse to whinge on Twitter. Did an Evora run over his pet cat or something?
That was a really nice video. That should be am aired commercial for real. Love the sound now the Evora makes. Intoxicating. And i fully love and appreciate that Lotus still goes with a traditional 6 speed tranny. None of this paddle shifting automatic tiptronic crap that plagues even the best supercar companies.

Harris is the voice of Top Gear now. The vid did come across as a bit of a Stig-ish segement in an old TG sort of way; I enjoyed it but maybe he took offence on behalf of Auntie Beeb.
Don't think so. They even shared it on their website / facebookGassing Station | General Gassing | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
