How about something more your size?:lol:

Going to have to use your imagination on this one...

Killer car. Eric Bana would approve.

Actually. I just bought a lotus 2 eleven so I'm done shopping.

Too good to pass up.

oh nice, cool little car.

Very cool car!

Can't wait to see in a couple hours! :thumbsup:

Who's handing the LS installation? ;)

I'm guessing not Charlie.

:stirthepot:


:D

Congrats on that. What class does it run in? (i'm currently running with no class) or is that to much of a newb question?.....none the less, will be great fun...

Wait... I thought no open cars? :_paranoid


Jeff-

i think he mean't open wheel. thats a fun little car.

Well it looks like a decent "backup" car to me..........

This is more Tasmanian Devil style!!! LOL

RIGHT --- We can't run open wheel cars -- if we could - I'd be shopping for a Formula Mazda... dirt cheap to operate -- and has down draft -- and you really need to carry speed into the corners to make the aero work.. A HOOT!!!

Talk about a Porsche Buffet!

Deep deep deep on the brakes and it carries a lot of speed through the quicker sweepers.

That car is going to be a kick in the butt........period!

Charley thinks it will kick my butt.... period.... HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

By the way -- when I left PIR this morning -- I had to wait for them to unlock the gates to go out -- lined up coming in is a big azz race rig -- and a guy standing in the street BS'n with another car.... The silhouette looks familiar so I get out and walk to them. It's my buddy that owns the dyno.... and they're bringing TWO WOLF cars --- a Honda V-Tec car and the FIRST IN THE USA fresh from Italy - a totally carbon fiber V8 version! I, of course, turned my rig around and went straight to the pits. Apparently today is a test and tune day for a SCCA race this weekend.

I drove home -- got the title to the Nomad - some spares - a can of paint with the code - took a shower.... bought more coffee grounds from Starbucks -- and I'm back at PIR as I type this.

Picking up the MEATBALL RACING 2/11 at 10 AM.... I just couldn't let it sit at the dealer while I was in SV! So here I am!


LOL -- I'm such a putz!

I found another good video which describes the car.....

You know I would have picked it up for you. :D

You have your camera and you're going to post Eurocarbon pictures..........right?

Found another EXCELLENT video -- and we're running Laguna Seca November....

Nice Greg that's a neat little back up,car! So what's with the Nomad title, did you sell it or trade it in? I knew I should have bought that car when you offered it to me :headspin:

Is this the eurotrash carbon you referred to my friend???

Well -- I've had the car since 1998 --- done two chassis -- and 5 motors - and a couple different trannys in the car.... I've done just about everything a guy could do in and with it.... and I haven't driven it except to get gas - for like 2 years.... Sail it or Sell it.

When I "accidentally" bought the Lotus - I called my buddy of some 25 years that's a car dealer here in Portland and told him to come get his new Nomad. He did. I left plenty of meat on the bone for him.

Time to update the signature!... hope to see the new Lotus 2-Eleven and the Mustang back here at PIR in September. It was nice to meet you yesterday.

Hopefully you won't be seeing anymore meatball flags for a while... at least you have a back up car now :thumbsup:

Congrats .... I am sure you are going to have a blast with it!

Was great to meet you too Dale! Can't believe you drove in from your vacation on the coast! But glad you did!

I've said it fifty or maybe 60 gazillion times -- best part of cars is the people you get to meet!

That would be it and yes I'd roll in that trash! :hello:

I DID!!!!!





HA!!!

From what I've seen once you drive that Lotus you wont want to ever drive anything else......that thing looks like waaaay to much fun, LOL

:bur2:

that lotus looks crazy fast! I don't know what will get your arms more tired, steering and shifting, or waving bye-bye to everyone you pass.

1:34 at Laguna is no joke. What a rocket!

Out with the old and in with the new.

Look at Greggers selling the touring cars and buying race cars.

Sounds like "pro touring" to me! :D

OK, that little car
 

is just bad ass! Great purchase

You and Charley just like it because it has yellow on it!!! HAHAHAHAHAHA




To be quite honest.... When the guy told me "I won't be passing anyone on the straights" --- I took his word for it. So I WAS thinking this would be a killer little back up car AND a car my son Alex could come out and learn to drive in.... AFTER he takes more pro driving schools (arranging those now!)... and now I think he might be better off in the Mustang!!!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Oh my!

Dam...that's all I got to say...Dam:weld:

That thing is just vicious!! Congrats Greg!

New cars just aren't fun... they do everything well and are too easy to drive. They've got huge brakes -- they have ABS -- they have - dare I say it - no soul.
:action-smiley-027:


Center steering, no windshield, monkey bars, sure looks like a lot of fun! I'm guessing its not street legal, mainly because I haven't seen any in the Microsoft parking lot.


p.s. My names Dan not Alex, sheesh Greg err dad.
:thumbsup:

It's not new -- technically it's a USED race car.....


I know... I know.... but the deal was too good to pass up --- the colors are right -- I was there.... it was there.... and anyway -- it's a good back up car because the salesman told me they never break.... But then again -- he's the same guy that told me they won't pass anything on the straights... hmmmmmmmm.



You'd likely not see them in the MSFT parking lot -- they're not street legal and I had to sign all manor of shiiiiiiz that Lotus makes you sign that it doesn't have a title - isn't street legal and blah blah blah....
