Europa

I just saw a yellow Europa in the employee lot where I work. Damn! That thing isn't even as tall as my thigh!!! They look slick in person, though. :D

Before today, I only knew the Europa as the El Camino of GT2! :lol2:

Got any pics, i've never heard of this car...

The one I saw was an S-2, if that matters.

Your life just got dramitcly shortened.
At this moment Yellow and green assult helicopters are on there way to your house, were a Lotus special assult team will lie in wait for your arrival.

Hey, it's an awesome car!!! I just didn't know 'til today, when I saw it. GT2 did not do it justice! :eek: :hehe:

Ok then, your forgiven.
The helicopters are leaving and heading back to the UK . :D

Green and yellow is the old Lotus F1 factory colours. :)

I know. :D I'd expect a yellow chopper with green stripes down the sides and a Lotus emblem just above the gatling gun, :hehehe:

Great minds think alike!

and they would be the best handling choppers ever to take to the sky.

Here is a picture of my former 1971 S2.....

Well someone has to comment

I love Europas, theyre my second favourite lotus after the Elise

And that one looks really nice

whats with the back end... ive never seen one in real life..but it looks a bit odd....but i still love it

The back end reminds me of those ridiculous flares on the backs of cadillacs.

Very good car though... Very.. ummm.... Origninal

Did my first TSD rally, over 25 years ago, as navigator in a Europa twin-cam. Stress , I can tell you, comes from trying to read route instructions while lying on one's back at high speeds in bad weather. :shocked:

I have a 67 Europa S1A that I've tried to autocross. It understeers horribly, so i was just wondering if this is typical? Straight line it's very fast but you have to slow way down for the turns.
