[petergun]

Yes! Saw them in EVO thos month. Must be a really nice sound.

 

[Jostyrostelli]

I like Donkervoort more...WAY more.

 

[MXM]

I like Donkervoort more...WAY more.

We know you do. We know WHY you do :lol:

But this looks nicer IMHO...

Btw... After watching "racecar is born", while still under impressionfrom westfield kitcar, I tried to find out about the possibility to buy/build such car in Finland and register it as road legal. Didn't find much (but it seems to possible, because I've seen one with plates before). Anyway, while searching for manufacturers/resalers, I found a company in Estonia that makes lotus7 replicas. The name is rather original ESTfield And you can buy it with... Lada 1200 engine :lol:
To be fair, I have to say they offer Audi/BMW also, but Lada really made me laugh :lol:

 

[Jostyrostelli]

Hehe No I don't like it because it's dutch. Because it looks better.
How much sweeter is this?

It's dutch and what do we do with it?

 

[jasonchiu]

^ i would like that better if it wasnt for the head lights. if they fit in with the body work i would love it

 

[RepLiKa]

Looks like they just ripped westfield/caterham...

 

[MXM]

Well.. yeah. And Westfield/Caterham ripped Lotus SuperSeven. And so did bunch of other little companies So they all owe it to Lotus really.

EDIT: Correction, Caterham has actually bought rights from Lotus to produce Seven... Ok, I don't know much about this thing either, so I might be wrong

 

[jasonchiu]

mazda als o has a car like this. someone google it

 

[Daniel]

I so want a Catherham so that I can go beat some M3/300SX/Cosworth ass.

 

[andyhui01]

I prefer the Radical SR3 ... I'll whoop all ur asses with that

 

[Daniel]

I dont know my way around with cars like these.... Best of getting a McLaren F1 and ad a Turbo. :lol:

I just love the simplicity of the Cateham and the Atom. Its kinda like they have some of that charisma that I love about cars.

 

[mmap]

Caterham actually owns the complete rights for the 7. If Lotus wanted to build some, they would have to buy a license from Caterham...

To MXM: I actually wrote my dissertation about Caterhams and Westfields (Consumer behaviour study..) and while talking with them they did say that they have sold a few cars to Sweden and Denmark, none to Finland but they were willing to sell me one if I'd had the money. So maybe it could be legal here?

 

[MXM]

Good, because I was already planing to move to UK

But seriosly... in this video car have plates http://www.romut-radalle.com/videot/Burnis2.avi (just some stupid burnout, no need to watch). It seems to be legal, so maybe one day...

 

[petergun]

Lotus handed the "keys" to the entire Lotus 7 design, assamebly line, jigs, parts, etc ... to Caterham in May 1973 at the London hotel called Lotus Pub.

What book do you think I'm readin gnow
