Luxluc Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 My uncle (as a Lotus dealer) has one ... nice power. The car is not that ergonimic if you're above 6 feet. However, I think a BPU Supe will give you the same, maybee an even nicer turbo punch than the Lotus ... at a far better price The exterior is a matter of taste ... I prefer Supras Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 Look Mike, let it go FFS. Everybody knows you like men and motors but stop carping on about it. xx What about Men with Motors? Kind of like Stephen Hawking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraStar 3000 Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 Whats it called then? Have I been watching the wrong program on Sky wondered why the guys kept stripping off and winking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lockys96 Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 love it, but if you can cast your eyes back to 5th gear when tiff got one to brake 200mph, they broke nearly everything on the car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fire148 Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 A guy I work with has a 2.2 twin turbo ... he has spent a fortune on keeping it on the road, but loves it to death. When I drove it, I must admit to liking it, seriously good handling and excellent balance. But I'd never buy one in a million zillion eons.

3LL Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 i dont like it.. although i do like the interior and im sure the performance aspect is awesome, looks wise tho.. its not one of my fav's.

Chris Wilson Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 People who have had one of these things find TVR's the epitome of refinement and reliability. As big a money pit as you can find, with poor spares back up, and a disastrous reputation for mind blowingly expensive failures. Look but don't touch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUPRASUZUKI Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 No. LOTUS`s are renoewned for not working, its as simple as that. They're a bit better lately, with the Toyota engine (of course). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does make me laugh when people comapre their BPU's to these things: 0-60 in low 4s 0-100 in 10.5 With CT12's you have no hope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra_si Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 tbh honets i love them, proper lush inside just a little outside my price range still. insurance was only a hundred quid less for me too than the supe. but as said before the reputation of lotus put me off as maintenance of one is higher than that of the supe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does make me laugh when people comapre their BPU's to these things: 0-60 in low 4s 0-100 in 10.5 With CT12's you have no hope. 250bhp/ton too those v8's...i think a good bpu is only ever gonna get 230bhp/ton max Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 I test drove one in '99 at a dealer and the thing was falling apart around me. Even the screws holding in the indicators were rusting ! Great fun to drive, but I could never live with one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
