Looks good.

What a team Lotus were. It's a shame that they've gone. It would be great to see somebody revive them!

Thanks for doing these threads M99. It has been much appreciated.

Thats all it is. Some people take everything as a personal attack which it is not.
McLaren is a great team. But the myth about them has been fully exposed & they have to face the facts. All teams have there skeletons including Ferrari :idea:

Some of the greatest ever F1 cars and concepts were made by Colin Chapman and Lotus, the John Player Special sponsorship made it even more magical and legendary. :)
