I heard that the car belongs to Charles.

Har har har .. "only the good die young!"

Carlin is a prophet!

that would require a lot of energy to perform that trick .. is it photoshopped?

Would you ever say, "I rode my Lotus bike?" or "I stayed at the Lotus hotel?"

That really is a plus .. to walk into any (discount) auto parts supply and get a part for your seven. as opposed to paying britian pounds and shipping from the UK. that's one of the reasons I bought my Rotus which is Toyota based. Rob Mitchell (I-85 at Clairmont, exit 91) Atlanta

I haven't seen Paul in years..

I met a WWII B-29 pilot a few years ago .. He few (lots of) missions out of Britain .. I just dropped my jaw when he mentioned the B-29.

Nice few pics of the car .. but what really messes it up is when the people start talking .. who writes this garbage?

Search the tech section for "rotus parts list" for more info. Rob

I have a Rotus 7 and I live near Emory .. where are you? Rob

Some are just accidents .. some are stupidity .. some got killed or seriously injured there. I've done a few stupid things .. like walked on thin ice and fell into a lake ..

Wow .. a great piece. Thanks for posting .. When I meet a veteran I thank them for serving our country. I did not know about a Natn'l Infantry Museum .. In Columbus, GA. I'll have to check it out.

that's horrible!

Just want to say .. that JB Weld will seal a leak if ever necessary. I used it to seal a leak in my alum fuel cell and it is a permanent fix. Rob

Say it out loud and it becomes apparent: huge arse.

Thanks for posting ..

optional automatic trans .. folly!

these are tiny also ..

good gracious!

In the past I have driven junkers .. just a little red film over the tail lights and this car is good to go.

After watching this video two times there has to be a cable running under the upstream ends of the pontoons that keep the whole setup from floating downstream. This reminds me of the primitive Roman ferry across the Snake River at the southern end of Grand Teton National Park. "Bill Menor built the original ferryboat and cableworks. Today’s ferry and cableworks are replicas. The ferry is a simple platform set on two pontoons. The cable system across the river keeps the ferry from going downstream, while allowing it to move sideways. By turning the pilot wheel, the rope attaching the boat to the cable is tightened and points the pontoons toward the opposite bank. The pressure of the current against the pontoons pushes the ferryboat across the river in the direction the pontoons point. This type of ferry existed in ancient times and was used elsewhere in the United States." - from the National Park website. http://www.nps.gov/grte/historyculture/menors.htm Rob

This is a helpful start...

horrors on the TV again .. now Japan .. after NZ and Haiti. sounds like they are having a three mile island incident x2 and hopefully not a chernobyl.
