Top thought tho,

what if they painted it black and got sponsored by someone called John Player, who happened to make cigarettes called "John Player Specials"

And some young Brazilian called Senna (Bruno) got the drive.

Because Tobacco sponsorship in F1 is banned

The BBC are promoting it like the old Lotus, the F1 front page even has an image of Jim Clark in one of the classic green cars

Sorry, I think I'm confusing you by saying 'bits'! I just mean that it would be more Lotus-y to be made BY Lotus, rather than being made by Proton with a Lotus badge.

What's wrong with those places?!?! lol. But since I live 20 minutes from Norwich, I'll forgive you

I don't know, but you don't see people saying that about Ferrari even 21 years after the passing of Enzo Ferrari.

I was sceptical at first... but what the heck. I'm prepared to give the operation at least a chance at the end of the day, Lotus is Lotus AND THEY'RE COMING BACK!!!!Ohh yeahhh!!!
