3 Eleven in evo
This month's evo magazine has a feature on the 3 Eleven where it's mentioned that one of the contributing factors to it's development was a comment from a member of "a Scottish Lotus club" during a trackday at Hethel asking the Lotus CEO "When do we get a 3 Eleven?" ...
Any of the 2 Eleven owners on here? Nice claim to fame if so, hope you get a discount

I think it was the boys that were on the Spaz trip last year that mentioned it.

This is indeed true but I don't think any of them said "Can you make it £80k+ please?".
I take it Evo didn't report what he said about Benny?

No, nothing more than a brief bit about where the original impetus came from! Dare I ask what was said?!

Think it was Ali and Andy G who were bending JMG's ear in the paddock...
Re: 3 Eleven in evo
Brilliant, I remember you both saying you'd touted the 311 idea. It's all Ali and Andy's fault then.

Re: 3 Eleven in evo
Yeah, in the shop and paddock to look at the 211.
Didn't quite meet my spec...
A bit too heavy but more power than I asked for.
Expensive relative to 211 but I'm sure the handbrake won't go rusty...
311 will be awesome, what about the 411 mooted...

At least you weren't asleep on the ground like a vagrant/benny.

I can't remember Mr Gales exact words but he was questioning Graeme on the motivation to go to a track day and then just sit in the car park/paddock all day.
To be fair to Benny he did almost make it round a complete lap.

Sadly the "Vagrant Pack" (seat pulls out with one hand and folds flat as a bed for beside the car) has been deleted from the final spec
