Now my English is not the best, but didn't the paper say the Lotus was hit head-on with the lorry? Doesn't look like it was hit head on!?!? :roll:

That's more of a threat to get the UK government to put money in , Mike Kimberly did something similar when their rates were due to increase like £200k in a year. I think and hope Lotus have to much invested in local area, although Malaysia would be an option with Proton of course :roll: .... Danny Bahar has said Hethel will always remain the Lotus HQ though

Maybe the Government is still wanting that 17.65 million of taxpayers money that went missing :twisted:

Elise are very strong, I have seen people walk out of head on impacts at 80 MPH in them with just cuts and bruises.

Im sure that's fixable. Let me have it for a few months and Im sure I could get it back on the road :mrgreen:
