It's a bit(!) quiet compared to here, but if there's a vehicle kicking around anywhere, they'll know about it.

Need to finish the limited set off now and lotus is the missing key....  :y

Just don't turn it into a taxi. ;)

That Sir would be the most awesome Taxi ever imagined! This now has to be done (as long as you can get it plated ofc) and I double dare you  :D
To be fair, Rob does run a VXR8 as a cab, so anything is possible ::)

That said, I doubt an LC is Euro2 compliant, let alone Euro 4 :-\

euro compliance is for diesels, has he bought the first converted LC ::)

Might be worth popping over to ABS ?

Definitely worth a gander over at ABS, plenty with tons of knowledge there.

This months Total Vaux has a very comprehensive buyers guide to the LC, and they used 3 of the ABS members cars for the article, which was given to ABS for their once over.

ABS definitely the place to start..

Becoming an ABS member is a must for any LC owner and future owner. There are links there for guides for buying and the knowledge  about the cars is like asking an Omega question here. We have a member currently looking for a car and he has dismised several as they dont measure up to his expectations. You may want something that requires work where he doesnt. Maybe be able to pick up one of the cars he didnt like.
